1980 VW Rabbit Pick-up (Caddy) 1.8L 3 Speed Automatic This is being re-listed as the winning bidder had a family emergency (Verified), so was let off the hook after fixing me up with my eBay fees. The camper top is no longer for sale with the auction. I am keeping it for my other truck. This is a pretty solid truck. I came to own it through various trades. The strut towers, underside, are not rusted. The bed is solid and has been coated. The windshield is cracked. The paint is an amateur job and there are dings and some minor surface rust here and there. (See pictures). The 1.8 L engine runs good. The truck originally came with a 1.5 L engine that was physically the same on the outside as the 1.8L that is in there now. The transmission shifts like it is suppose to with the only problem being that the plastic speedo drive gear spins freely on the shaft. There is an access plate that can be removed to repair this issue without removing the transmission. Long story short the speedometer does not work. The front brake pads and rear shoes have been replaced. The front wheel bearings and tie rod assemblies have been replaced, and the rear wheel bearings have been cleaned and serviced as well. The tires are pretty good. Might need balancing. The truck has factory A/C and it works. Sort of. I pulled a vacuum on it, then serviced it with R134A refrigerant, and ran it for a while and it gets cold. High side pressure was and 275-300 psi, and low side was around 30 psi. I then removed the refrigerant to replace the receiver drier and never got around to it. I will throw in the new drier with the sale and gas the refrigerant back up for the winning bidder if that person wants. Over all this is a pretty nice little truck for it's age. I have owned several of these and currently have one that I drive which is a turbo diesel. This one is the only automatic I have ever seen, and we use to work on a lot of them. Please ask any additional questions you may have prior to bidding. The winning bidder is responsible for pick up and I will help load either for the winning bidder or any shipper the winning bidder hires to pick it up. Will not ship. Local pick up is fine. I wouldn't be afraid to drive just about anywhere.
This truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction early bids or not. Well, Thanks for looking, and good luck.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
