Up for sale is my 1982 VW Rabbit Diesel, I believe it is pretty much all stock, 1.6 L Diesel engine with 4 speed Transmission. I believe this car has every option that VW offered for this car. It has Air Conditioning, cruise control, power Steering, and a rear windshield wiper and squirt-er that work. The Air Conditioning, Cruise control and power steering are not working but the car drives and starts great. I got this car in December 2011, it had 209,000 miles on the odometer, I changed engine and transmission oil, air filter and I started driving it daily in January 2012 and the car never fail to start and i never plugged an engine heater in and it was outside the whole time. At about 215,000 miles i put new tie rods on it and had an alignment done. Put new tires on front. At 218,000 miles i again changed oil, Air Filter and Fuel filter. The car sit all this winter out side and was never used or started and about a month ago it started right up with no problems and no jump, I was amazed. Then i decided that I would sell it and it would not start, i put in 4 new glow plugs and now it starts right up also just installed a new air filter. The dash is cracked from the son and rear seats are worn thru i think from the sun, but i do have some black vinyl seats that go with it that came out of Cabriolet.
At 184,000 miles the previous owners records showed the car had a new timing belt, so it still has 16,000 miles before a timing belt is due.
I got mostly 40 MPG but the car does have to work hard and I try to drive the speed limit, which was mostly 65 where I was driving it. For me this has been an amazingly reliable car, i would not hesitate to drive it any where, but it is a over 30 years old. Feel free to ask me questions about this car. I am selling it because I have three other Volkswagen s and am no longer using this one.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
