1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Base Convertible 2-door 1.7l on 2040-cars

 I have absolutely no idea what milage is.  I only drove it about 5K or less a year, for 20 or so years I've owned it.  For sale as is    I put a lot into this car.  I see it go to someone who plants to fix it up and get it back on the road and enjoy it.  I finally got to the point where I don't want to repair anymore, and am not willing to pay mechanics for repairs on this car.  I want it sold before it deteriorates further.  Welcome to check it out at my home, but It won't run now.  Thanks for your interest.

 I have a few boxes of bits and pieces for the car that I'd want you to take, and a few oil filters, maybe an air filter (if I didn't use my last one already).  Different assorted parts.  I have a cover for the top when down, not precisely made for this car, but fits fine, and holds on, making it look sharp.  We could look at the boxes of parts I have for it, and you can take all you want, and we can throw out the rest.  I think I have a back up clutch and accelerator cable in the trunk already.  Needs cable for the hand break, which doesn't work very well.  It cleans up well, in my simple and biased opinion.

 Did I mention that this comes with another dash?  That is, when someone stole the last cassette player, and tore out the dash, I got 2 at the u-pull-it, and replaced with one, and still have the other.  In the boxes of parts, I think I also have more of the controls for the heat and air, which have been a pain to get right.  There might be a switch or two for the fan (current one is intermittent) and a lot of relays that I pulled out of cars at the place, and flasher stuff, etc.   I'd ask you to help put those in the car when you tow it off (or to the curb, but I stopped seeing these cars at upullit about 10 plus years ago.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013


Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
