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 |

Winterkorn vacates chairs on Audi, Truck & Bus boards
Thu, Nov 12 2015The last remaining vestiges of Martin Winterkorn's power within the Volkswagen Group are slowly melting away. The former chairman of the group's management board resigned as CEO nearly two months ago in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. He held onto other roles within the group, but one by one he's been vacating those as well. Last month Winterkorn resigned from his role at Porsche SE – Volkswagen's largest shareholder. Now the latest development comes from Bloomberg, which reports that Winterkorn has stepped down from his role as chairman of the supervisory board at Audi. Prior to his promotion to run the entire group, Winterkorn served as chief executive of the Audi division, and prior to his resignation served continued to serve as its board chairman. No date was given for his resignation from that capacity, nor any successor named at this point. Repeated requests for clarification from Audi have gone unanswered. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, spokespeople for VW's commercial vehicle operations confirmed that Winterkorn has also stepped down as the chairman of the board at Truck & Bus GmbH. The newly established division encompasses truck manufacturers Man and Scania. Winterkorn also served as chairman of Scania's board, but requests for confirmation of his departure from that role also went unanswered. The Swedish truck manufacturer, however, named Henrik Henriksson as its a new chief executive only a few days ago.
Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
