Woodburn, Oregon, United States

  Up for auction today is a 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel. This Rabbit has a new 1.9 Diesel engine. The long block is new from a builder out of Germany. The long block alone was over $3000. The new engine has only 3000 miles on it, and it runs pefect. The injection pump was rebuilt about 10k miles ago, with the alternator, and new battery. Radiator, water pump, and exhaust are also all new with the motor. One CV shaft was rebuilt, and motor mounts replaced. The brakes, are new, front and rear, shocks are about 3 years old, and the alignment was done 6 months ago. Tires are 95% good. All electrical works great. New headliner just put in on 3/7/14. Carpets look ok, no real holes, just some small stains here and there. Drivers seat is starting to show its age (See picture). Dash has some cracks. Paint on the car is in surprisingly good condition for the age, though its not perfect. Car has some small dents (See pictures) and ding here and there. Over all this is a very nice car that has a ton of money put into it. I have built a few of these Rabbits down through the years, and this one is one of the cleanest I have seen that is still mostly stock. This will make for a great car for the right person who wants great MPG, and amazing reliability. I have seen these cars with 500K or better.

 If you are a bidder from out of state and wish to have the car shipped I will deliver the car with in 30 miles of Oregon 97071, or if you wish to fly in and drive it home, I can pick you up at Portland PDX and bring you to the car. I am listing the car locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. If you are local and wish to come see the car, and test drive it, or if you would like to make a offer, you can call Me at 619-243-0955 and I am Joshua. Please note the car is sold as is, no warranty. Thank you and happy bidding.

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
