Volkswagen: Rabbit Diesel Vw 1981 Great Condition on 2040-cars
Washington, District Of Columbia, United States
I'm selling a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel that has been my daily driver for 2.5 years. I've moved to DC and will be sharing a car due to limited parking so I'm getting rid of this one. The car is in great shape, and I've done a lot of work to it to keep it reliable and running well. There is very minimal surface rust as shown in the pictures. The underneath is very solid. The interior is in great condition--see the pictures. The tires have plenty of tread left on them. It gets 45mpg consistently. The odometer, temp guage, and AC does not work but that's common for these older rabbits. I the things that I've done include but are not limited to: Rebuilt fuel injection pump (This was $1100. I have receipts to show) Struts and springs all around Alternator Starter Battery 4 point lower stress bar that really helped stability (go to techtonicstuning[dot]com/main/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_11_6&products_id=2217) Rotary vacuum pump from a later model Jetta. This is a major upgrade for the vacuum system and breaking. Timing belt Glow Plugs Sound deadening material Modern speakers and radio Shifter bushings Coolant hoses Front brake rotors and pads Coolant heater for cold weather starts (I had this installed during this past winter. It plugs into a regular outlet when it gets cold out and works like a charm. It started with no problem when it dipped into the 20's. It was $160 and I have receipts to show). Oil pan gasket Valve cover gasket The car is currently in Washington, DC but I'm willing to arrange pickups in either Williamsburg, Va or Harrisonburg, Va for a small fee. Please contact beforehand. Thanks and happy bidding! |

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
