Drives 600 miles on a tank. Truck is located in Burley Idaho where I now live. NO RESERVE. SOMEONE'S GOING TO WIN.
Just place a bid right now to test the waters. Nothing big, just the next bid increment. Prices sky rocket the last minute anyway. 

This is a well taken care of 1980 Diesel Rabbit truck that gets 45 MPG! I bought it from an old man in Las Vegas about 3 years ago. Comes with a hard to find camper shell, and a in bed tool box that can bolt in just behind the back glass. I drove it daily for about 10,000 miles. 
THE BAD
If your taller than 5'10" you will not be comfortable in the truck. Don't even bid.
There is some rust on the rain gutters, (pictured)
Little surface rust on the B pillar where the two metal seams come together. (pictured) 
The heater fan switch just broke this week. 
Original dashboard, (30 years old) its cracked.
THE GOOD
This truck gets a 7 out of 10 as far as paint and body. No big dents, but paint is tired, rock chips in the hood. Interior is also a 8 out of 10. Seats have been re-done, no holes stains or cracks on seats.
Got NEW front shocks/struts on 4/19.
New wheel bearings,
New Starter,
New battery, 
New glow plugs, 
New fuel tank,
New injectors (4). 
New Oil, Air, and Fuel Filters
Rust free strut towers.
New upholstery on the seats. 
Comes with some tools, repair manual, compression tester, and a hug.
I added an engine block heater, and on cold Idaho nights I plug her in and she starts right up in the morning.
Good compression on all 4 cylinders. NOT ORIGINAL MOTOR. This motor has about 40,000 miles on it.
Runs like a sewing machine. She came from the factory with a 4 speed trany but the previous owner swapped in the better 5 speed for higher fuel economy and better HWY driving. 
The pictures you see were taken while I was on the Road trip to Bozeman MT last month.

She would be perfect to convert over to a Grease Car to burn Vegi-oil, Biodiesel, or even ATF. Greasecar has many conversion kits available. When fuel prices sky rocket this truck will be nice to have. Buy it now before fuel prices go up. This rig is also the perfect car to have in case of an EMP or if North Korea starts a Nuke attack. At least you'll still be able to drive to work. LOL
Call or text me and leave a message for Kevin 
(to oh ate) three won too - 8062
For $3,800 I will bring you the truck. Montana, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada,  Northern Cali, Southern Washington, and Western Wyoming and Western Colorado. I will buy another busted Geo Metro near you to drive home. LOL
I reserve the right to end the listing early. I've got it listed locally and if someone puts enough cash in my hand, I will cut the auction.
This auction will end on Sunday May 19th official ebay time of 21:00 PDT. Mark Your Calender. In the upper right hand corner click on "Add to watch list" so you can find it in "My ebay"

Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.

Piech's dismissal from VW came after failed coup to oust Winterkorn

Mon, Apr 27 2015

When the Volkswagen board ousted its chairman Ferdinand Piech over the weekend, we knew right away it had something to do with disapproval of chief executive Martin Winterkorn. And now we have more details of how that struggle reportedly came to a head. According to Reuters, Piech undertook a cloak-and-dagger campaign to oust Winterkorn as CEO, even after having publicly endorsed the top executive's leadership of the company. Piech reportedly focused on other members of his family – descendants of Ferdinand Porsche and majority stakeholders in Volkswagen – to install Porsche chief Matthias Mueller as group CEO in Winterkorn's stead. But Piech failed in his campaign, and was given an ultimatum by the board: either show yourself out or we'll kick you out. And so he resigned. A big part of Winterkorn's rescue and Piech's failure reportedly came at the hands of labor representatives on the VW board, like Berthold Huber who was appointed as acting chairman following Piech's departure. That may leave Winterkorn still in charge, but may leave him beholden to the unions even more than before. Winterkorn has been undertaking a concerted campaign to cut overhead costs at VW, but the trade unions have reportedly been blocking many of the steps the chief exec has proposed. The next big question is who will ultimately replace Piech in the long term at the head of the board table. Winterkorn could get the nod, leaving the company to find a new CEO to take his place. Another likely scenario, however, would be another member of the Porsche/Piech family taking the helm and leaving Winterkorn in place. Whether Ferdinand Piech ultimately sells his 13.2 percent stake in the company (likely to other members of his family) or holds on to it and exerts influence behind the scenes is an open question. One way or another, any major appointment at the head of either the management or supervisory board will require support from the Porsche/Piech family, from the works council of labor representatives and from the state government of Lower Saxony, so the process of filling Piech's vacancy will likely prove anything but straightforward.

Best cheap SUVs: You don't have to pay a lot to get a lot

Sat, Oct 28 2023

Here's a news flash: Everything is a lot more expensive now! And that definitely goes for new SUVs, with prices that keep nudging higher and higher. Actually "nudging" might be too soft of a description for their motion. "Skyrocketing" is probably more accurate.  While higher prices and hefty interest rates have likely knocked a lot of people out of the new car market entirely, there are still quite a few cheap SUV choices. Better still, they're not terrible! Far from it, in fact. While the lowest price SUVs used to be drab, sorry affairs best left to the lots of Avis and Budget, that is definitely not the case today. Not only are there legitimately appealing cheap SUV choices, they offer genuine differences in character, capability and design. It's not just a series of anonymous boxes with different badges. Below you won't just find a simple list of the cheapest SUVs available. We are actually pointing out the best ones. They are listed from least expensive to most expensive, with none exceeding a starting price of $30,000. Most are subcompacts, but a few of our top choices in the compact SUV segment snuck on. Finally, please excuse the crummy photo quality. We sought out representative trim levels of the prices in question rather than just reusing pretty carmaker-provided photos of the most expensive trim levels. This is what the cars will actually look like. Kia Soul Why it stands out: Ample space and abundant features for the money; unique style; strong turbo engine upgrade Could be better: All-wheel drive is not available Starting Price: $21,315 Read our most recent Kia Soul Review The Kia Soul definitely didn't start off as a small SUV, and the term "crossover" is probably better applied to it. Still, what started life as an undefinable funky tall hatchback now finds itself in its third generation with numerous vehicles of similar shape and size that are dubbed "small SUV" or "small crossover." If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ... Call it what you will, but the Soul delivers the goods with tons of equipment and space for its price and size, an agreeable driving demeanor, and an even more powerful engine upgrade than the Kona's. We also think it's pretty cool. All of the above helped it win our subcompact SUV comparison test. Now, if there's one area where the Soul does not satisfy a typical SUV requirement, it's the lack of available all-wheel drive.
