This is a 1983 VW Rabbit. 1.6L diesel and 5 speed manual will get you about 45+ mpg. This is a 31 year old car- no frills, power nothing, but it gets better mileage than a Prius LOL! Comes with 1 key, a spare in trunk, second spare rim (if I can find it), 5 VW hubcaps, jack, wrench, new repair manual. Here is a list of what I've replaced since I bought it - new tires - new battery - new starter - new alternator - new brake master cylinder - new front calipers, rotors, pads, bearings, and struts - new AM/FM/CD ipod and USB charger port radio, 4 new speakers - I bought a new timing belt and tensioner from VW (about $180) with the plan to replace it just for preventative maintenance. Never got around to it, but it goes with the car if you wanna swap it out. What needs mentioning or attention; - I parked it for a bout a month after I got another car. Since it wasn't run, an injector pump seal dried up and now the pump leaks. Shouldn't be hard to replace, but every morning it takes excessive cranking to build up prime again. But once it starts, you're good to go for the rest of the day. She fires right up! - I replaced the oil pan gasket only to find it was the front crank seal that was leaking. Not a lot, but a few drops here and there. I have a new seal that goes with the car. - The odometer stopped working about a month before I parked it. My guess it actually has about 171,500 miles on it or so. I'm pretty sure it's a small plastic gear in the dash- a new gear can be bought online for about $15-25 dollars - The headliner is hanging (given for a 31 year old car) - The interior could use a carpet and seat cleaning (coffee stains) but it's not "nasty" lol. - I painted it with Pep Boys paint using a HVLP air gun. I am a certified aircraft painter, but it's Pep Boys paint- so it looks better than the old baby blue it was, but not new. - Minimal small rust spots coming through the paint, but no bad spots eating through that I've seen.
Like I said, it ain't perfect but it's a real cute, cool, "classic" of the 80's. My wife is making me sell it (friggin Kiljoy) but I guess I don't really need it anymore. SHIPPING- should you decide to buy it w/o coming in person, I am a legal transporter and can deliver anywhere (my truck can fit) in California for only 75 cents a mile. If you hire someone else to get it, be forewarned uship has a LOT of illegal transporters on there, and I will not release it to someone who can't play by the same rules as me, so please ensure you hire the right person. If you have any questions or concerns, by all means please feel free to call me at 949-616-0210 |

VW CEO talks up 20 new plug-in models in Frankfurt
Mon, Sep 14 2015For years now, Volkswagen has dreamed big, forming plans to become the world's largest automaker. That trajectory includes a big plug-in vehicle push, and the CEO of Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn, said that his group of companies will bring out 20 more EVs and plug-in hybrids by 2020. The list includes the next Phaeton and the Audi A8. "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that," Winterkorn said, according to a VW press release. "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road. By 2020 we will have transformed all of our new cars into smartphones on wheels." Perhaps most illustrative, Winterkorn admitted that the auto industry has turned a corner. "Technological leadership is no longer solely defined in terms of horsepower and torque," he said. "We are taking the precision, enduring value and quality of our cars into the new, digital world." The VW group is also showing off new plug-in concepts in Frankfurt this week, like the Tiguan GTE and the Porsche Mission E. Winterkorn's prepared remarks do not give out the details of these vehicles, but we'll have all the info from the show floor in short order. Stay tuned. PROF. DR. MARTIN WINTERKORN: "THE REINVENTION OF VOLKSWAGEN" 14/09/15 from Volkswagen Group 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 announced Group not only has broadest electric fleet, but also largest connected vehicle fleet on the road Customers should benefit from automated driving technologies as quickly as possible Volkswagen taking precision, enduring value and quality of its cars into the digital world Wolfsburg/Frankfurt am Main, September 14, 2015 – In the Volkswagen Group, there is a sense that a new era is dawning. On the eve of the 66th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main the CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, said on Monday evening: "We are in the process of reinventing Europe's largest automaker, laying the technological, economic and structural foundations." The Group Chairman announced there would be 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 – from compact cars to the next Phaeton and Audi A8: "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that." He said the Group already had the broadest electric fleet in the automobile world, and added that Volkswagen was also at the forefront when it came to the future-oriented field of digitisation: "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
