1980 Diesel 1.5 L Rabbit/Caddy Pick up. No reserve auction. Highest bidder gets it.

these are the legendary early 45 to 50 mpg Diesels that VW produced

This pick up runs good, is the LX version, was set up for AC (compressor/dryer, most hoses intack) but the Condensor is missing and the return hose. Also, has none of the rust issues associated with these models. Towers are solid. Car tracks true, with really good tires and spare, stops true, and the e brake works great. 4 speed. Goes thru all the gears clean, and for a 1.5 winds up pretty quick.

Don't expect to race, she's built for mileage not speed.

Has the LX silver/gray color with the red interior. All of it looks original. Paint is chipped an dinged here and there. I can't find any evidence that the car has ever been hit. Bed is ok, some lumps here and there, nothing major, and tail gate is a bit loose, but closes fine and is ok for a driver.

All the lights, turn signals etc. work.

I have changed the oil, fuel, air filters. Changed the oil and the gear oil in the gearbox. Put a new belt on it, and timing plug, along with new battery cables. Couple of things that don't looks stock to me is a solenoid powering the glow plugs, and an in line fuel pump. (Makes bleeding easy tho) and the previous owner who had several said he puts in line fuel pumps in all of his cars.

I also bought a new timing belt, tensioner, set of front seals, water pump and gasket along with a valve cover gasket. They're all new and still in the box. I read the manual (included with sale) that it was wise to change the timing belt, and if you changed the belt, the tensioner, front seals and water pump as they're all behind the belt anyway. (these are new in the box and are also included in the sale). The original timing belt looks good, water pump runs cool and doesn't leak, and none of the seals leak, I was just going to reset the clock.

Anyway, it's a good solid example of this car, not fast, but, solid, dependable and the mpg is legendary.

Clear title in my name. Car is sold "As is, Where is"

On Oct-19-13 at 04:24:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

I forgot. the dash is vinyl and cracking, thus the dash mat. Rest of the interior is original and in really good shape for a 30 plus your vehicle.

Misc. odds and ends go with car. Comes with a spare transmission, dash, manual, clutch cable.

Car is located in Dixon, Missouri. 65459

Shippers are a dime a dozen. Google car shipping, and you will get a ton of brokers, but shipping is the responsibility of the new owners. I have plenty of room and can hold it for an agreed amt. of time after payment in full.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
