No Reserve! 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I've had this one for about a year, it's been a great driver. since it's been warm I've been driving it every day again. Located in Salt Lake City, UT
needs: -little bit leaky out of the oil pan, I figure whatever though, it's a MKI that's the only real problem at this point. good stuff: new front outer CV boots when I bought it. new thermostatic fan switch. everything else is fine as far as I can tell. it looks good, it's dirty inside but h4s are cool, I have a front bumper for it, thumbs up all around except that drippy pan listed above. comes with a spiffy front valence, a strut tower support bar (full race truck!!), sits on racelands and drop plates, I think I have another set of drop plates that bring it up a little too. tires are fine. starts every time I try as long as the cold start is pulled and sometimes I have to give it a little throttle on the first start, then it's fine all day. it's been a really handy truck and a great commuter and work truck for fixing up my house. I bought a tacoma though so now I don't need it for anything. no rust on the strut towers at all, only rust is in the bed, with only one small rust hole on the right rear fender. this also comes with an extra engine for it that needs rebuilding but it also comes with a turbo kit with a banged up downpipe and the oil lines all done on it. looks like it'll need a hone, rings, and head work. i was going to drive it while building that engine for it this spring but I'm going back to school and moving out of town in a few months so I need to get rid of my projects. also comes with a vac. pump rebuild kit and a new thermostat, these parts were acting up in the cold of winter when I drove it a couple times, but I switched the vac pump with a good used one, and the thermostat seems to be working fine now. when in doubt, ask before you bid. I did my best to describe the truck here. if you bid, you are committed to buying the truck. i will help load the truck to the best of my abilities but I will not arrange shipping for you. $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction close, balance due in cash or bank check only within 7 days, car must be gone within 7 days of auction close. |

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
