Up for sale is a 1982 Volkwagen Rabbit with a factory 1.6L NA diesel engine. Options from the factory on this car include: A/C, 5 speed manual transmission, 2 door LS trim, and rear window defrost. The car currently has 173,000 miles on it with lots of new parts, including:New air filter!Fresh oil and filter change!New fuel filter!Tires with less than 3000 miles on them!New clutch!New timing belt!New water pump!New oil pump!New rod bearings!New brake linings!New front grille!New hatch shock!New exhaust!New muffler!Brand New windshield!New windshield seal OEM!New hatch seal OEM!!!!NEW PAINT THE END OF 2012!!!Painting was done with the doors, hood, hatch, and windshield removed using an HVLP spray system in an enclosed paint booth. Primer was a professional grade urethane primer. Color was done using Nason Ful-thane single-stage paint.Right now I'd say the exterior is a 9/10! The interior I would rate as around a 6/10. There is a small tear on the drivers side seat upholstry against the door as well as the headliner is no longer in the car. The passenger and back seats are both in good condition with a few stains one would expect on a car of this vintage.Mechanically, this car is in excellent shape. It doesn't use or leak any coolant. Burns around 1 liter of oil in between oil change like all the diesels. Also has a mechanical oil pressure gauge installed and aftermarket cruise control wires run.Currently, I have been averaging around 50 mpg in this car for a mixture of city and highway driving. City only driving has gotten me the lowest of 42 mpg keeping up with normal traffic. The highest mileage I have achieved yet was an average of 52 on a tank! This car is very reliable and would make an excellent daily driver especially for someone with a longer commute or just plain tired of high fuel prices!Need to sell because of relocation to Alaska.
