 I am selling my 1983 Rabbit.  I bought this car from a lady who told me  she and her husband bought it and had it totally redone on the inside (true, it has marine grade WHITE vinyl interior which is in exceptional condition).  She also told me that they had their mechanic in Georgia put an engine in it, and that it has a 4 speed transmission, not a 5 speed transmission (even though the stick shift has 5 speeds, it really only is a 4 speed).  Her husband passed away and she let it sit in her garage until she sold it to me.  ,I drove this car for a year on the beach, it was great and I loved it, then one day I was driving down the road and it just died, I pulled over to the side of the road, and it had to be towed from there.  It has been sitting ever since.  It is such a shame, because it is a cool car that turned heads every where I went.  I had several offers to buy it at gas stations, fast food joints, etc., but at the time was unwilling to sell.  Now she is dead, and needs a VW enthusiast to take over ownership to restore her to her former glory.  This car has NO air, NO power steering, but it has a NEW convertible top and new interior, plus a lot of white sand from the Gulf of Mexico :)

Exterior is in great shape, there is one bumper cover missing, it has an aftermarket gas cap, it has minimal MINIMAL rust a little around the wheels in the rear, but the body is quite solid.

This would be an excellent first car for someone, cause let's face it, it just doesn't go that fast.  Maybe you would like to attend some car shows, with the proper attention it could even bring you home a ribbon or two.  Or maybe you live at the beach and would like to have your own "beach buggy"  the options are limitless.  I want someone who will have as much fun with it as I did.  It is eligible for antique plates in most states as it is 30+  "An oldie but a goodie" 

THIS CAR DOES NOT RUN.  It would have to be trailered.

I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor implied, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this  30+ year old VW is sold as-is where is.

I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask.  Lana 573-819-0132  I may not know the answer, but will do my best.  I would prefer that you inspect the car prior to bidding, but I can send more pictures per request.

The car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if it is not then I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it. You will not receive your deposit back. I will require an immediate deposit of $500 via paypal, with the balance in cash/cashier's check at time of pick up.

So with all that said good luck and happy bidding !

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle

Sat, 27 Jul 2013

Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
