No Reserve, High Bidder WINS!

We are Proud to offer one of the nicest 1982 RARE LX "Limited Wolfsburg Edition" Volkswagen Pickups also known as the Caddy. Only 188k miles since new. This is the ONLY known Wolfsburg Edition Caddy available in the marketplace today. When buying one, why not reach for the stars and buy the most sought after, highly optioned pickup!

I feel this is one of the NICEST available for Sale. This was a former show car in the 1980’s. This was purchased from the original owners. Here comes the fun stuff!

The original owner special ordered the Limited Wolfsburg Edition which was beyond the top of the line model at the time. He ordered it with remote mirrors, factory air conditioning, sliding rear window, and bed gates. Its LOADED with accessories and options. If that wasn’t enough, he added a GTI 1.8L engine, GTI 5 speed manual transmission, GTI wheels, GTI seats, GTI console with “working gauges” (2) 8” sub woofers and a remote Alpine CD player. It also has a rare Kamei front spoiler which i have been told are hard to come by. It runs and drives great. Its a BLAST to drive.

This is for all the Caddy MK1 enthusiasts or anyone that demands a nice Volkswagen Pickup with a near perfect original exterior. The number of nice survivors is very low in this condition. Without question, it is certain to be a standout in any serious collector's stable or anyone that appreciates a low millage never been hit pickup. The truck is still wearing most of its original Silver paint.

The original owners of this 1982 LX Limited Wolfsburg Edition Volkswagen Pickup took exceptional care of it. This super exceptional and un-restored original is a great example of just how nice an old Volkswagen pickup can be with a history of proper care, maintenance, and being garaged. It displays beautifully for being over 30 years old and being garaged since new. Everything works as it should. The undercarriage will surprise you with how clean and dry it is. This Caddy draws a lot of respect from knowledgeable enthusiasts. Be prepared to get lots of waves, smiles, and compliments everywhere you go. It runs and drives great.

Please remember this is not a restored pickup; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being 30 plus years-old. Those who have been looking know how impossible it is to find a pickup in this condition also being the rare LX Wolfsburg Edition, and rare options it has listed above. It’s the only LX Wolfsburg Edition available for sale in the marketplace its that rare, as I have done my research. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own this one. Its hard to explain every detail of a 30 plus year old vehicle, the headliner is not perfect, the drivers seat bolster has some wear, there some small splits on the dash, and minor cancer bubbles in the bed of the truck the size of a dime, which is hardly noticeable, as I’m just trying to be detailed on the description. Many people cant believe how clean it really is.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
