Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit is a heavily modified 1.8T build featuring a turbocharged 20-valve engine, 5-speed manual, and upgraded suspension and wheels. Despite numerous performance enhancements and a clean Carfax report, the listing points out rust in multiple locations and an inaccurate odometer reading.
Condition
6
The car has undergone significant modifications and upgrades, but the description notes rust in several areas (underside of spare tire well, bottom of right-rear quarter panel, top of right-front door). While the engine and mechanical components appear to have been well-maintained or replaced, the presence of rust indicates it is not in excellent or outstanding condition. The seller also notes that the odometer mileage is inaccurate.
