Selling my 1981 Rabbit, Diesel LS, 2nd owner.
There are 85,295 miles on the odometer, but there are probably just over 86k. Odometer was working when purchased, but stopped working prior to registering vehicle. Mileage was no longer 100% accurate so I registered the car as mileage unknown. I took the odometer apart and found the broken gear, and replaced it, which fixed the odometer. I went through a few tanks of fuel before it was fixed, so my best guess is that it is approximately 1000 miles over what is displayed on the odometer. I have been daily driving this car for two and a half years, about 50 miles everyday. Car starts every time, even in the cold, has a newly rebuilt injector pump, new glowplugs, new diesel cutoff switch. 4 Speed manual transmission, shifts into all gears very smoothly.
Paint is original, and in great shape everywhere on the car except the driver's side fender where the paint it pitting. Small rust spot on driver's side A pillar, small amount of rust on the bottom inside of driver's and passenger side door, as well as on the bottom inside of the hatch.
Heat blows hot, but there is NO A/C, moving with the windows down worked fine for me, but sitting in traffic in July could get a little warm. Interior upholstery is all in great condition, no rips or tears on any of the seats. Headliner is sagging some, but the fabric itself is in good shape, just needs to be re-glued.
I've been averaging 48 miles per gallon around town, have gotten 50+ when driving a little more efficiently. Car will get up to 75 on the interstate. We have driven the car on several long trips and have been fine, twice to NW Florida, and once to Rochester NY. Averages about 40 mpg at speeds of 70+

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
