Volkswagen: Rabbit Diesel Vw 1981 Great Condition on 2040-cars
Washington, District Of Columbia, United States
|
I'm selling a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel that has been my daily driver for 2.5 years. I've moved to DC and will be sharing a car due to limited parking so I'm getting rid of this one. The car is in great shape, and I've done a lot of work to it to keep it reliable and running well. There is very minimal surface rust as shown in the pictures. The underneath is very solid. The interior is in great condition--see the pictures. The tires have plenty of tread left on them. It gets 45mpg consistently. The odometer, temp guage, and AC does not work but that's common for these older rabbits. I the things that I've done include but are not limited to: Rebuilt fuel injection pump (This was $1100. I have receipts to show) Struts and springs all around Alternator Starter Battery 4 point lower stress bar that really helped stability (go to techtonicstuning[dot]com/main/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_11_6&products_id=2217) Rotary vacuum pump from a later model Jetta. This is a major upgrade for the vacuum system and breaking. Timing belt Glow Plugs Sound deadening material Modern speakers and radio Shifter bushings Coolant hoses Front brake rotors and pads Coolant heater for cold weather starts (I had this installed during this past winter. It plugs into a regular outlet when it gets cold out and works like a charm. It started with no problem when it dipped into the 20's. It was $160 and I have receipts to show). Oil pan gasket Valve cover gasket The car is currently in Washington, DC but I'm willing to arrange pickups in either Williamsburg, Va or Harrisonburg, Va for a small fee. Please contact beforehand. Thanks and happy bidding! |

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
