Woodburn, Oregon, United States

  Up for auction today is a 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel. This Rabbit has a new 1.9 Diesel engine. The long block is new from a builder out of Germany. The long block alone was over $3000. The new engine has only 3000 miles on it, and it runs pefect. The injection pump was rebuilt about 10k miles ago, with the alternator, and new battery. Radiator, water pump, and exhaust are also all new with the motor. One CV shaft was rebuilt, and motor mounts replaced. The brakes, are new, front and rear, shocks are about 3 years old, and the alignment was done 6 months ago. Tires are 95% good. All electrical works great. New headliner just put in on 3/7/14. Carpets look ok, no real holes, just some small stains here and there. Drivers seat is starting to show its age (See picture). Dash has some cracks. Paint on the car is in surprisingly good condition for the age, though its not perfect. Car has some small dents (See pictures) and ding here and there. Over all this is a very nice car that has a ton of money put into it. I have built a few of these Rabbits down through the years, and this one is one of the cleanest I have seen that is still mostly stock. This will make for a great car for the right person who wants great MPG, and amazing reliability. I have seen these cars with 500K or better.

 If you are a bidder from out of state and wish to have the car shipped I will deliver the car with in 30 miles of Oregon 97071, or if you wish to fly in and drive it home, I can pick you up at Portland PDX and bring you to the car. I am listing the car locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. If you are local and wish to come see the car, and test drive it, or if you would like to make a offer, you can call Me at 619-243-0955 and I am Joshua. Please note the car is sold as is, no warranty. Thank you and happy bidding.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
