FS 79' Rabbit 4 door. make offer.
« on: January 20, 2010, 01:07:56 am »
Ha make an offer cuz my dads tired of it being on his driveway. Current has no engine or trans. I have them just the block is junk. You can have them if you take the car. The FF trans works good. If no ones interested in it it will go to pick n pull soon. Cars located in Manteca California 95336.  Its pretty rusty and what not heres some pics. Title is clean. Windshield leaks and theres a good dent in the rear driver door. Interior is pretty clean. I kinda just need the car gone cuz I give up.  :'( PM me with any questions Im on all the time. obviously car would need to be towed.

I agree mines more of a skin cancer. I sanded part of it down to hit good bare metal. Little concern on the windshield part though. The gentlman I bought the car from use silicone to seal the windshield it looks bad. Also the vent windows are pretty much held in with RTV. I really want someone to take the car to rebuild her. I always wanted to fix her up and paint her silver and put some small euro bumpers on it but funds are gone. This wont stop my addiction though to the vw diesel. I want a tdi. Ive seen two diesels at the local pick n pull and they just sat there and rotted away. No one wanted them.

pretty rusty is when your car starts losing weight from all the cancer...

my grandpa has a 80 rabbit that the windshield is almost completely rusted out of the car.

I wish I was on the west coast. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Someone please buy this car.

A rabbit with rounds for $150 is a steal.
worst part is I have a running 1.6 NA with a giles pump sitting in a box.

You guys don't think of getting it floated by a car carrier. Look at a few car trucking companies and it might cost 500 to 600$ to ship it. I would buy it in a heart beat, but there is too much paper work to cross the border

I also wanted to add that I paid 600$ for this sucker and it lasted me like 3 years before I screwed it up. Im seriously up for offers if you cant tell. Pick n pull is cheaping out. My dad wants it out of his driveway by this friday!

I was seriously considering the motor offer there. good price by the way but I think i need to give up. I live in an appartment and cant keep it here. My dad really hates it there.

Edit. There is also new tires on her. I just put them on a month or two before I broke it. I think I paid more for the tires then Im asking for the car.

I have requested a quote from a shipping company. I fear it will be very expensive though. I can't believe I am even considering this

yep, I got 5 quotes or so all range from $750 to $1100. Regrettably I am going to have to back away from this one.
