Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel 1984

1984 VW Rabbit Diesel

Welcome to my auction. I am offering for sale my 1984 VW Rabbit diesel. I have had this car for three years, and regularily drive it. It has been a fun and dependable little car, and has seen regular maintenance and care, and no accidents. It has 256k miles, but it is in better shape than many rabbits half its mileage.

The car is largely stock, it has all original panels, no bondo, and original paint. It is mostly rust free, and the oly places where there is rust developing is at the bottom of the right door, as seen in one of the photos.

The glass is excellent throughout, no chips or cracks.Mirrors are all great.

All electrical systems work fine, dash instruments, speedometer, odometer, clock, fuel indicator, high/low beams, turn signals, rear brake & reverse, cabin light, dash lights, cigarette lighter, radio, glovebox. Rear defroster works great.

All locks, window cranks, etc work fine.

The engine runs strong (as strong as it ever did). The glow plug system is excellent, the car will start immediately even after sitting for weeks in the coldest weather. It idles fine, and have never had any problems with overheating or running cold, even at 100 degree weather in stop & go traffic, the temperature needle will stay in the middle. I have driven this guy many times from Portland to the beach (110 miles), and many times from Portland to Seattle, never an issue. Transmission shifts fine, all 4 gears and reverse, no slipping / noise issues

In the 3 years, the following extensive maintenance was done:

New headliner (3 years ago, still looks perfect)
Rebuilt injection pump (3 years ago)
Rebuilt heater, it's now VERY hot.
New carpet (removed old carpet, inspected sheet metal floor and it was excellect, protective anti-rust primer and paint, put new sound insulation and new carpet, all last year)
New vinyl upholstery (Purchased from M&T Manufacturing, installed last year)
All new glow plugs (last year)
Brand new Hella headlights, with PIAA bulbs, VERY bright (last year)
New cutoff solenoid (last year)
New air filter and fuel filter (MANN/Mahle, last year)
New headlight switch (last year)
New blue instrument cluster bulbs (last year)
New reverse light switch (last year)
All new brakes (bought from the PartsPlace, rotors, pads, bearings, shoes, springs, rebuilt brake calipers, installed this year)
Brand new ATE brake master cylinder (a $270 part alone, installed this year, flushed brake system with new fluid)
New old stock Grundig radio fastastic sound, new speakers in the rear and new speaker wire (this year)
New radio antenna
New battery (this year)
Brand new door deals(bought this year from MK1 Haus, doors seal fantastic now, and the car is much quieter)

The only few issues I'm aware of are:

The front turn signals sometimes blink twice as fast, this is due to the lamp sockets being old. I would change the sockets if you can find new ones.
The CV boots it the front have tears, and it would be a good idea to change them
The car is due for an oil change
Rust at the bottom passenger door.

All in all, this is a great car, and with maintenace it will serve you faithfully. It is not fast, and it is not quiet. I drive it on the highway at 60 mpg, and it would return 51 mpg on highway only, or about 46 mpg combined. Personally, I would not hesitate to drive this cross country, but being an old car, it is sold without any guarantees or returns.

Please shoot with questions. A $500 non-refundable Paypal fee is expected within 48 hours from the end of the auction by the winner. The balance is due within one week, in the form of a bank check. If you are in Portland OR, I would encourage you to drop by and have a look at it in person. Good luck!

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

VW Golf R 400 reportedly green-lit (again)

Sun, Apr 26 2015

After speaking to Volkswagen powertrain boss Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser at the 2015 New York International Auto Show, we uncovered that the Volkswagen Golf R 400 would be sold in the United States... if it ever made it to production at all, that is. That prerequisite looks like it's about to be fulfilled, as the same good doctor that said the super-powered GTI would come to the US has confirmed to Car that development is currently underway. This follows up on reports from late 2014 that the 400-horsepower car would make production. "We have the Golf more sporty than ever before, since we soon will have the Golf R 400 – we will do this car," Neusser told Car. "We are in fact in development of it right now." That is, we think you'll agree, splendid news. Of course, it also begs the question of when the new car will arrive. According to Car, it'll be just "a few short months," indicating that the Frankfurt Motor Show will likely host the Golf R 400's debut later this year. Whether that proves correct, though, likely won't be clear until later this summer.
