I am selling my 1983 Rabbit. I bought this car from a lady who told me she and her husband bought it and had it totally redone on the inside (true, it has marine grade WHITE vinyl interior which is in exceptional condition). She also told me that they had their mechanic in Georgia put an engine in it, and that it has a 4 speed transmission, not a 5 speed transmission (even though the stick shift has 5 speeds, it really only is a 4 speed). Her husband passed away and she let it sit in her garage until she sold it to me. ,I drove this car for a year on the beach, it was great and I loved it, then one day I was driving down the road and it just died, I pulled over to the side of the road, and it had to be towed from there. It has been sitting ever since. It is such a shame, because it is a cool car that turned heads every where I went. I had several offers to buy it at gas stations, fast food joints, etc., but at the time was unwilling to sell. Now she is dead, and needs a VW enthusiast to take over ownership to restore her to her former glory. This car has NO air, NO power steering, but it has a NEW convertible top and new interior, plus a lot of white sand from the Gulf of Mexico :)

Exterior is in great shape, there is one bumper cover missing, it has an aftermarket gas cap, it has minimal MINIMAL rust a little around the wheels in the rear, but the body is quite solid.

This would be an excellent first car for someone, cause let's face it, it just doesn't go that fast. Maybe you would like to attend some car shows, with the proper attention it could even bring you home a ribbon or two. Or maybe you live at the beach and would like to have your own "beach buggy" the options are limitless. I want someone who will have as much fun with it as I did. It is eligible for antique plates in most states as it is 30+ "An oldie but a goodie"

THIS CAR DOES NOT RUN. It would have to be trailered.

I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor implied, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this 30+ year old VW is sold as-is where is.

I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. Lana 573-819-0132 I may not know the answer, but will do my best. I would prefer that you inspect the car prior to bidding, but I can send more pictures per request.

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 it is not then I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it. You will not receive your deposit back. I will require an immediate deposit of $500 via paypal, with the balance in cash/cashier's check at time of pick up.

So with all that said good luck and happy bidding !

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn resigns amid diesel scandal

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn is stepping down amid charges the company manipulated its diesel-powered cars to meet emissions regulations around the world, the automaker announced Wednesday. No successor was immediately announced, though recommendations will be made at VW's board meeting Friday. Winterkorn, 68, has led VW since 2007 and oversaw the German automaker's staggering growth around the world. His departure comes less than a week after the EPA alleged the company has been cheating on diesel emissions testing for years, and that its cars might emit 40 times more pollution than legally allowed. The EPA says about 482,000 vehicles are affected in the United States, and VW estimates at least 11 million vehicles globally might have the software that allows the vehicles to cheat emissions regulations. "As CEO I accept responsibility for the irregularities that have been found in diesel engines and have therefore requested the Supervisory Board to agree on terminating my function as CEO of the Volkswagen Group," Winterkorn said in a statement. "I am doing this in the interests of the company even though I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part. "Volkswagen needs a fresh start – also in terms of personnel. I am clearing the way for this fresh start with my resignation." Winterkorn stepped down after an executive committee meeting of the VW Supervisory Board Wednesday. The committee agreed Winterkorn had no knowledge of wrongdoing. "The executive committee has tremendous respect for his willingness to nevertheless assume responsibility and, in so doing, to send a strong signal both internally and externally," VW said in a statement. Volkswagen is conducting an internal review and expects more "personnel consequences" in the coming days. It also will voluntarily submit a complaint to the state prosecutor's office in Brunswick, Germany, and cooperate with the expected criminal investigation. Winterkorn's departure is the latest development in VW's burgeoning diesel emissions scandal. It came to light last week after the work of researchers at West Virginia University detailed the software manipulation designed to skirt EPA tests, and it has resounded as governments around the world examine Volkswagen's diesel vehicles. The company set aside $7.3 billion to deal with the fallout and has retained the law firm that defended BP during its oil spill.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US Â– with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011.
