For sale is my 2007 VW Rabbit 2-Door in Reflex Silver with Grey cloth interior. There are 54,500 miles at the moment which is low for this year, normally you would see over 70k. Mechanically the car is 100% and the body & paint are in very good condition, all electronics are working, the AC is cold, the pw/pd/ps/pb are also 100%. This car has a 5-speed manual transmission and the clutch is in full working order. All maintenance has been done on the car including the 42k service and oil changes have been done with VW's Euro-spec long drain formula. Front & rear pads were replaced two summers ago. I drive 1.5 miles to the train and back then 2 miles to the gym so my weekly use is very limited and I've taken very good care of this car.
Upgrades include larger Neuspeed rear sway bar, Eurosport front chassis brace, Neuspeed P-Flo intake, Magnaflow cat back exhaust, ECS tuning aluminum crank pulley, full suspension swap (Autohaus springs/shocks) and 17" VW Denvers with Toyo high performance all seasons that have less than 10k miles on them. The upgrades have made the car handle better and more enjoyable to drive and I think you will agree after driving a stock Rabbit.
No joy rides please, payment accepted is certified cashier's check or cash. I have the clean title, all sales are final, thank you for looking. The car is also for sale locally, I forgot to add this when I posted the listing. If it sells before the auction ends I will remove from Ebay.
*If you are interested then please contact me, looking to sell quickly, thanks.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
