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 forced to sell stake in Suzuki

Mon, Aug 31 2015

The six-year-long failed marriage between Volkswagen and Suzuki has finally come to an end. Almost. An arbitration panel in London issued its final verdict which, according to a VW press release, cleared Suzuki in terminating the agreement, so VW now needs to get rid of its 19.9-percent share. However, the tribunal's decision said VW performed all of its obligations and Suzuki didn't – the Japanese carmaker should have given VW last-call rights for a delivery of diesel engines, but failed to. The breach opens Suzuki up to damage claim, but so far VW only says it reserves the right to sue. Now that Suzuki has an outside investor to provide funds it meant to get from VW, perhaps both can get back to their reasons for being. The press release is below. Ruling in arbitration proceedings: Cooperation between Volkswagen and Suzuki deemed terminated - Arbitral tribunal confirms Volkswagen met contractual obligations and finds that Suzuki has ordinary right to terminate agreement based on reasonable notice - Volkswagen to dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects positive effect on Company's earnings and liquidity from transaction - Arbitrators also find that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has right to claim damages Wolfsburg, 30 August 2015 - An arbitral tribunal in London has announced its ruling in the dispute between Suzuki Motor Corporation and Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. As a result, cooperation between the two parties is deemed terminated. The arbitrators confirmed that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement and found that Suzuki has terminated the agreement upon reasonable notice. Volkswagen will therefore now dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects a positive effect on the Company's earnings and liquidity from the transaction. The arbitral tribunal also confirmed that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has the right to claim damages. "We welcome the clarity created by this ruling. The tribunal rejected Suzuki's claims of breach and found that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement. Nevertheless, the arbitrators found that termination of the cooperation agreement by Suzuki on reasonable notice was valid, and that Volkswagen must dispose of the shares purchased.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
