Up for auction is my beloved MK1 Rabbit Diesel, it gets lots of oohs and aahs along with 40-50 MPG. Car has always been garaged and taken well care, but it needs to find a home that will drive it more often. Only 1,500 miles have been put on this car going to shows and VW car meets. Rabbit will come with original stock wheels and not the ones on the picture! Body is in great condition and the interior as well. No reserve auction Repairs include the following by myself or the previous owner: Current odometer 139,200 Rebuilt 1.6L diesel engine installed @ 114,000 miles.Professionally built by RPM Performance Engines.

"Rabbit is located in Westchester, Illinois.She is for sale locally also, but this car needs to go to Miami or California to be driven as original or customized. The car can be shipped or is road ready for a trip. My reserve is less than what has been spent on professional repairs. Deposit of 500.00 24 hours after auction ends and the rest by check or cash, I can help you ship this car to it's new home Good Luck bidding!
