Here we have a 1981 VW Rabbit LS Diesel with 4 speed trans. 171,153 miles. The Rabbit LS if you don't already know is the "fancy" version with air conditioning, cruise control and extra trim. This little rabbit in my opinion is in overall good condition for being over 30 years old, ( it was in storage for some time ) I have included LOTS of photos so please take a good look. There is some rust as you might come to expect from a car that has been in the north, but could be fixed if it bothers you or if your looking for a little project. But with that said I have seen them WAY, WAY worse ! There are some little dings and scratches and the paint is fading on the roof and hood. I tried to get it all in the pictures. Like I said, It really does not look bad for the year and I get complements all the time about the condition its in but you judge for yourself. The interior is a little dirty as you can see but the worst thing is the headliner, like most of the old Rabbits it has a bunch of tacks holding it up and is torn in some areas. Also it must have a torn shifting boot as you can tell from the duct tape at the top near the knob. The radio is new but I have not yet figured out how to turn it on so I can not tell you if it even works. The trip meter works but it can not be re-set. The hood release pull cable is broken so that will need to be replaced, if you don't mind popping it from outside like me then its no problem. The dash is VERY NICE ! Not all cracked up. Now onto the engine, It has at some point been changed over to a newer 1.6L hydraulic lifter engine, good chance it came out of a Jetta or Golf. Fires right off with a tap of the key. I have no way of knowing how many miles the engine has on it but it does seem to be in good shape with good power and very little smoke, Its running in the out door photos. The timing belt has recently been replaced, newer battery, new coolant over-flow tank and the alternator looks to have been replaced at some time. The car seems tight and handles nice ! The shifter is not all lose and sloppy like some, brakes are nice and stop on a dime, clutch feels good. It really drives nice. I have been driving it as a everyday car and have been getting 50+ MPG. I have 2 VW diesels and am looking to sell them both and get 1 brand new one. I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor impelled, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this 30+ year old VW is sold as-is were is. I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. If you are bidder with less than a 50 feedback rating you must contact me prior to placing a bid, if not I will cancel it. The car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if its not than I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it, and thusly you will not receive your deposit back. As the old saying goes "It only takes a few bad apples" So with all that said good luck and happy bidding ! |

VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.
Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Audi announce Takata recalls
Wed, Feb 10 2016Daimler, Volkswagen, and Audi will recall nearly 1.7 million total vehicles in the US to replace their Takata airbag inflators. The Japanese parts supplier and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced in late January that several automakers would need to fix around five million more vehicles, and the various companies have been releasing the details since then. Daimler has a recall for 841,000 vehicles in the US, including 705,000 from Mercedes-Benz and 136,000 from the company's van division. Reuters reports the affected models consist of 2005-2014 examples of the SLK-Class, C-Class, E-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class, and SLS-Class. The vans comprise the 2007-2014 models of the Dodge, Freightliner, and Mercedes Sprinter. Autoblog reached out to Mercedes USA to confirm these details, and we're awaiting a reply. Daimler expects the repair campaign to cost 340 million euros ($382 million at current rates). The company will book the costs as part of its financial year 2015 results, and net profit for that year will fall to 8.7 billion euros ($9.8 billion). Volkswagen's recall covers 680,000 vehicles in the US to replace their driver side airbags. The affected models have Takata's SDI and PSDI-5 inflators, which could rupture in an crash, but the automaker isn't aware of any explosions for these parts in its products. This campaign includes: 2006-2010 Passat Sedan and Wagon (German Production) 2012-2014 Eos 2010-2014 Golf 2010-2014 Jetta SportWagen 2012-2014 Passat (U.S. Production) 2009-2014 CC There are also 170,000 Audi vehicles with the SDI and PSDI-5 inflators in the US, but there are no reports of the parts rupturing in the company's models. The affected products are: 2005-2013 A3 2006-2009 A4 Cabrio 2009-2012 Q5 2010-2011 A5 Cabrio VW and Audi are still working to identify the specific VINs for these vehicles. Afterwards, they will notify affected owners. Ford, Mazda, and Honda already announced details for their new round of Takata repairs. VW and Audi also recalled a small number of Tiguans and Q5s to replace their side airbag inflators from the Japanese company. NHTSA still expects BMW and Saab to detail expanded safety campaigns.
2015 VW Passat Limited Edition priced from $23,995*
Sun, Mar 8 2015Volkswagen is doing some rearranging of its lineup for the Passat sedan, ditching a pair of trims on the entry level, 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and replacing them with a new Limited Edition trim level. Gone are the Wolfsburg and SE trims from model year 2014, which rung up at $24,375 and $26,280, respectively. The new Limited Edition will start at $23,995, not including $820 in destination charging. According to VW, the new trim level packages $2,755 of extras over the base Passat S, but only demands an extra $1,555 of cash. Not a bad bargain, particularly as the Limited Edition adds some desirable features. An intelligent key with push-button start, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, heated leatherette seats with power controls on the driver's side and a touchscreen radio with an eight-speaker stereo, along with a few lesser options, like fog lights, chrome window trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Beyond the new list of standard equipment, this is still the same competent German sedan. The 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is paired up with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic, as with other trim levels. Check out VW's press release on the new Passat Limited Edition, available below.
