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 |

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
