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.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
