Up for sale is my 1986 Volkswagen Cabriolet. This is without a doubt one of the cleanest Mk1 Rabbits of any kind around. No rust whatsoever, great looking paint, always stored in a heated garage, mechanically sound, brand new convertible top, reupholstered interior, euro bumpers, and more. This is the 7th Mk1 VW I have owned, and I only buy the cleanest and best I can find. I purchased this particular car from a VW specialist mechanic in LA who had owned the car personally.

I've had my fun with the Cabriolet, but the time has come to get another toy/project. Car will be smogged for any CA buyer.

Be prepared to enjoy the sun and gets lots of thumbs up from fellow motorists if you are the high bidder. :)


Good:

  • Strong running 1.8L 8v motor with 162,236 miles
  • Smooth shifting 5 spd manual transmission
  • New cold start valve 07/2012
  • New alternator 02/2013
  • Full tuneup 02/2013
  • New convertible top 05/2012. No leaks!!
  • 9/10 Paint condition
  • CA car. ZERO rust anywhere! 
  • All gauges, wipers, and lights work properly.
  • Ride quality is excellent.
Bad:
  • Rear most engine mount will need to be replaced at some point in the near future. Nothing urgent though. 
  • A/C does not work. Living in San Diego this is not an issue for me, and this car is meant to be enjoyed with the top down anyway!
  • Heat works, but is not quite as strong as the heat in other Mk1 VWs I have owned. Again, living in San Diego it was not a priority for me to fix considering I only drive the car about 5,000 miles a year or less.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons 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.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
