For sale is a 1984 VW Rabbit with a 1.6 diesel engine (non turbo) with 236k miles. The engine is not running, so it is non operational. I do not what is wrong and not able to get it fixed. I have owned the car for 10 years. I drove it for about 5 years and was fun to drive and economical, getting about 40-45 miles/gallon. The car did run on vegetable oil for a couple years using a GreaseCar conversion kit. The equipment has since been removed and will not be included with the car.

The exterior of the car has been reconditioned with new paint, wheels, tires, caps, light covers. The car has been in a handful of car shows and took a lot of attention. A lot of money has been invested into the car with the exterior renovations and repairs, including a new rack and pinion steering rack and rebuilt fuel injector pump and new fuel injectors. The car has been in storage for the last 5 years and not driven due to family issues and inability to maintain car.

The car has been taken well care of and has only been driven in 4 Maine winters out of the 30 years! The first owner was a part time resident and only drove it in the summer. I also did not drive it during the winter when road salt was applied. As a result, this car has little to no rust. The exterior was buffed out removing dings, scratches etc and given a new paint job. The original color was baby blue with exterior color now a dark blue. The paint on hood of car is scratched up since the paint job. The car comes 4 original VW wheel rims with 4 studded snow tires. Comes with the original owner's manual, repair manual. I am also including a box full of new parts including 2 wheel hubs, timing belt, oil pan gasket, fuel filter and an oil filter. Many repair bills are also included. Title is free and clear. In Maine, any car older than 1996 does not require a title nor does it need to be up to date.

This is a PROJECT CAR and is NON OPERATIONAL and is being sold as-is. As mentioned above the exterior has been renovated but will need engine and electrical work. Prior to putting it into storage, I was in the process of redesigning the electrical system from scratch and had purchased and installed a new (rebuilt) injector pump ($500) and new fuel injectors. At least two of the doors are non functional (will not open from outside or inside). This car is good for someone that is looking for a project, is mechanical and has the time and money to put the car back on the road.

I am the third owner, not the 5th owner, as mentioned in the auto report.

5% of this sale will be donated to the 11q Research and Resource Group. This organization to near and dear to my heart, as my daughter has this rare genetic condition. As a result of the financial and time constraints (to say the least) of having a special needs daughter, this is the true reason why this car is being sold!

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.

Audi rumored to leave top-tier endurance racing after 2017

Fri, Oct 14 2016

Volkswagen's ongoing diesel scandal is turning out to be an expensive problem for the German automaker. With a recent settlement expected to cost the company up to $14.7 billion, the company is scrambling to find ways to save cash. In light of this, Audi could be pulling out of the highest class of endurance racing, which it has dominated for years. A report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, indicates that Audi has already finalized the automaker's departure from the World Endurance Championship's top-tier LMP1 class after the 2017 season. Another report by Autocar cites an unnamed insider to corroborate the LMP1 exit rumors. The report fingers the VW Group's ongoing diesel scandal's financial fallout as the main culprit for Audi bowing out of LMP1. The move to could also be due to the group's decision to move away from diesel technology. Audi's LMP1 car, the R18, utilizes a V6 turbo-diesel engine. The Porsche 919 Hybrid, on the other hand, uses 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine that runs on gasoline. Audi has won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans 13 times since 1999, making Audi an unstoppable force in endurance racing. Porsche, Audi's corporate sibling, reentered endurance racing with a LMP1 competitor of its own in 2014 and won the constructor's championship last year. Audi's decision to leave LMP1 could give Porsche a shot at creating its own Le Mans-winning dynasty. Autocar reports that Audi is expected to continue fielding cars in other WEC classes, like GT3 and GT4, and perhaps the brand will even enter Formula E. We reached out to Audi for some clarification on the matter and a spokesperson stated that the rumors were "pure speculation at this point."

VW apprentices prep Golf GTI Dark Shine, Variant Biturbo for Worthersee

Fri, May 15 2015

Volkswagen not only cooks up some pretty tempting concepts of its own for the GTI-Treffen at Worthersee every year (and encourages its sister brands to do the same), but also gives its apprentices the opportunity to do it. And here's what they came up with this year. Called the GTI Dark Shine edition, the show car features an upgraded 2.0-liter turbo four, pumping out 389 horsepower and 359 pound-feet of torque through its dual-clutch transmission. But that's not all. As you can see, it also has a striking two-tone livery of metallic gray and yellow pearl, along with a stainless steel exhaust, carbon air box, an upgraded aero kit, a 3,500-watt audio system with eight speakers and a thoroughly reworked interior done up to match the bodywork in black Alcantara and carbon leather with yellow trim. The team of 13 apprentices built the show car from a body-in-white over the course of nine months. It follows in a long line of GTI concepts done each year by VW apprentices that stretches back to 2008. This year, however, another team of 14 interns at the plant in Zwickau, Germany, worked up a blue Golf Variant wagon called the Biturbo Edition with the twin-turbo diesel from the Passat good for 236 hp and 368 lb-ft. Another team in the Czech Republic was responsible for the Fabia FUNstar pickup concept. And of course the automakers themselves showcased the radical Golf GTE Sport, GTI Clubsport, Skoda Fabia Combi R5 and Audi TT Clubsport. The lake is calling ... world premiere: Volkswagen apprentices present their Golf GTI Dark Shine at Worthersee event - Other show car premieres: Golf Variant Biturbo Edition (Zwickau) and SKODA FUNstar (Mlada Boleslav) They have followed the call of the lake: 13 Wolfsburg apprentices from Volkswagen and group company Sitech Sitztechnik have traveled to the 34th Worthersee GTI meeting today to present their 395 PS (290 kW) Golf GTI Dark Shine to the public for the first time. Their sporty two-door Golf features a two-tone color scheme. The front is painted in dark Daytona Grey Metallic and the rear in unique R-yellow pearl effect – giving rise to the name "Dark Shine". The Golf GTI Dark Shine is impressive confirmation of the high-quality practically oriented training provided by Volkswagen.
