1981 VW Rabbit Pickup / Caddy--NO RESERVE -- HIGH BID WINS-- Hello! thanks for looking at my auction. This little truck belongs to my neighbor, and good friend of almost 10 years. He bought the truck with intentions of "fixing it up" and using it to commute with. Being that he works out of town, and is only home 3-5 days a month; he's come to the conclusion he won't get around to working on it any time soon. Hopefully you understand that this truck is over 30 years old. Although the truck will be represented exactly as it sits, please be reasonable in your expectations. The truck is less than 500 yards from my home, and I can check on anything you would like me to. I can get a hold of the owner anytime, and will be happy to assist in having your questions answered in a timely manner. You can also call me with your questions if you would rather not email. I encourage you to ask any questions that would help you make an educated decision about buying this truck. It is sold in as-is, where is condition. No warranty or guarantee expressed or implied. 1981 volkswagen truck / caddy1.6L diesel4 speed manual transmissionfiberglass camper shellclean utah title.really clean body, only real rust spot is shown in a close up picture"strut" towers look greatdoes not appear to have been in an accident, ever. bed is super nice, dark areas in pic are leaves not rust. new batteryclutch seem strongbrakes workstarts greatnew batteryhas plug-in electric block heatertrue mileage is unknown. I had to enter a value for the listing template. Mileage is not 100,000. I dont know if odometer is accurate. due to age, title reflects "0" milestires hold air fine, however need replacedOriginal owners manual in gloveboxTruck starts and drives around just fine. I guess you could simply put new tires on it and use as is. Major systems seem to all work properly. Has been driven around town as recently as last week. Exterior seems to be original paint and still retains original decals/graphics. Interior is worn, see pics for best evaluation. there are interior pieces missing, i.e. arm rest, misc knobs, etc. The camper top is a really great fit. looks nice. there is one dent in front right fender. Electric cooling fan is operated by a toggle switch. All in all, a great little truck for someone to tinker with. Not being into VW's, I was intrigued that there is quite a following for these trucks. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, ASK ASK ASK! I don't know the ins&outs of these vehicles. If there are common flaws or areas that need to be addressed to help you make a decision or would be beneficial to the buying public, please let me know! I believe in full disclosure! I have been selling on ebay since 1999, and intend to sell this truck while maintaining my great feedback rating. Truck is located in Washington, Utah. about an hour and a half north of las vegas or about 3.5 hours south of Salt lake city. I will be happy to help with shipping arrangements, at YOUR expense. I would even consider delivering to las vegas for a small fee. $300 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of your winning bid. balance due at time of pick up, or prior to shipping. thanks! Pete 435-668-9669 NO RESERVE - HIGH BID WINS On Feb-11-13 at 07:07:02 PST, seller added the following information: *Someone has asked if I would assist in obtaining a temporary tag for vehicle transport. I would be happy to take care of that. Our DMV charges around $25 for a 3day permit. The cost would be the buyers responsibility. I would recommend a thorough inspection of the truck, along with other routine maintenance (oil change, etc) before I would attempt to transport this vehicle any significant distance. -Pete On Feb-12-13 at 07:31:30 PST, seller added the following information: *Additional information: the following information should be considered by prospective buyers:Odometer reads 145,000 milesVehicle appears to have been treated with "undercoating" when new. The underside looks really good, no rust that I could see.It is my understanding that it is a 5 speed transmission, not a 4 as listed above. On Feb-13-13 at 08:52:25 PST, seller added the following information: *Additional information: the following information should be considered by prospective buyers:The interior of the truck is tan. The listing incorrectly states that it is blue.There is NOT a buy it now price for this truck. Please do not call and ask. On Feb-15-13 at 09:34:56 PST, seller added the following information: *Additional information: the following information should be considered by prospective buyers:An ebay user asked if the lights worked, and if there was a spare tire and jack.I just went by and looked at the truck again, as of this morning all of the lights were working. There is a spare tire mounted underneath the bed. Although it was full of air, it is worn and needs to be replaced. I could not locate a jack anywhere. Thanks !On Feb-16-13 at 19:09:54 PST, seller added the following information: Somone sent me an email asking what brand the camper shell is. I believe its a "glasslite", or something along those lines. It fits so well, I believe it was designed specifically for this truck, not a universal unit. thanks!
