1984 Volkswagen Quantum Sedan w/ 5-speed manual transmission.
Odometer reads 187k, not sure if those are original
This is truly the Mercedes of old diesel VWs.
It's been my daily driver for about 5 months and I recently drove it down to San Francisco and back.
In the past I've had a diesel Rabbit, a diesel Dasher, and a diesel Mercedes. I like this car better than all three.
It's got power windows, power locks, power steering, and it rides so much smoother.
It's wider and heavier so it turns and goes over bumps and around turns so much nicer than the lighter weight VWs (Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, Caddy).
It's also much roomier and has a bigger backseat and trunk than those other cars, while still being small on the outside. So it's still easy to drive and park.
Black w/ grey and black interior
Original 68HP Turbo Diesel Engine was recently replaced with a German Remanufactured (not just rebuilt) 52HP non-turbo diesel engine that has less than 50k miles on it and a newly rebuilt superior performace injection pump (from Giles) that has less than 5k miles on it since it was rebuilt.
Injectors rebuilt 20k miles ago.
Within the past year (mostly in the past 6 months) it has:
-New clutch disc
-New timing belt and tensioner
-New alternator belt
-New alternator
-New front shocks
-New water pump and power steering belts
-Resurfaced flyheel
-New oil pan
-New motor mounts
-New headgasket
-New valve cover gasket
-New fuel filter
-New fuel lines
-New air filter
-New performance glass-packed muffler
-New CV axle and boot
-New front brake pads and discs
-New radiator
-New AC compressor (still needs to be charged for AC to work)
-Brand new Alpine CD Player and kenwood and pioneer speakers (w/ 6x9 speakers in the back!)
Interior is pretty good.
Dash is cracked.
Body is in great shape. No rust and only one small dent. Original paint is pretty good except faded on the hood and trunk lid.
The trunk has been getting water in it. I think it's from the passenger's side rear door seal being torn. I got a new seal to put in it. I might have that done in the next few days.
The rear driver's window needs to be greased before it will work.
It needs a new CV boot on the left side and it might need new rear brakes, but that's it. It runs great.
I will consider other vehicles as partial trade (half or less).
