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 all the components are there and 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 failed 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 and 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. I don't see any other rust spots other than in the pictures. So I think this is a pretty solid car. 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.
