1981 VW Rabbit Pickup
Sold
The included accident-free Carfax report starts in September 1988 and shows this Rabbit Pickup was registered in Connecticut with approximately 60,400 miles. The vehicle was moved to Pennsylvania in 1993 and appears to have stayed there through 2019, at which time it moved to New Jersey and later New York. A new, Pennsylvania-based owner was reported in November 2021. A number of attractive refurbishments, modifications, and upgrades have been added over the years. The selling dealer acquired the vehicle in May 2022 and has added less than 200 of the 74,700 miles shown. Two keys and an oil-change bundle are included.
The Rabbit Pickup was launched in the US in 1979 and produced at Volkswagen’s newly constructed manufacturing facility in New Stanton, Pennsylvania. This Volkswagen facility holds the distinction of being the first foreign automobile manufacturing plant in the US since 1931. The Rabbit Pickup was born of American ingenuity and was based on the front-engine, front-wheel drive Mk1 Golf platform. The Pickup was a back-to-basics vehicle offered with either a diesel- or gasoline-powered inline-four-cylinder engine with a manual gearbox. US series production ended in 1984, at which time the tooling was sent to South Africa.

My first Porsche, amazing car!
I bought my first Porsche from Courtney and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Courtney walked me through my first collector car purchase, giving my advice and confidence through the process. Not sure if I will be in the market anytime soon, but if so Courtney and Car Finders will be my go-to resource.
Streamline Process!
I sold my 1967 Corvette to Car Finders a few months ago, and just wanted to say thank you for the smooth process in letting my treasured Vette go. My wife and I had an unexpected expense hit us out of the blue, creating a lot of stress and uncertainty as to where we were going to get the money to cover it. I didn’t want to but knew my corvette could save us from this situation….. Jeremy and Phil took us step by step through the process, giving us multiple options for the sale throughout the process. As we came to an agreement that worked best for us, the guys at Car Finders were extremely fast with payment (same day) and respectful to the fact that this was an emotionally hard decision to part with my loved car. In the future when the time is right Car Finders will be my first choice when looking to replace my corvette…..Thanks Again!
I can’t say enough about my experience!
I’ve been in the market for a collector car for quite some time. I was tired of watching my money get sucked away in the stock market, and figured I would diversify some of my assets into the collector car world. Slightly apprehensive, I pulled out some money from my investment account and put it into a 1980 Porsche 911 Targa! My buyer’s remorse quickly vanished as I watched my value rise quite consistently in the following months of owning the car, and oh yeah….I also get to drive a 911!!!!! One of the smarter moves I’ve made. Thanks to the guys at Car Finders I was able to increase my assets while enjoying a beautiful german sports Car!
Great Selling Experience
My father passed away a few months ago, and I was left with an old MGB. I spent a few weeks trying to figure out what I was going to do with this inherited car, do I sell it or hold on to it and watch it slowly die in my driveway? I ran across a Car Finders ad on the internet to buy a car, and figured that this would be a good start….wow, was I right. Courtney was my first point of contact, not only was he a pleasure to speak with but was incredibly knowledgeable about MGB’s! Courtney showed me what the current market on my car was worth and offered me a more than generous offer on my car. As sad as it was to see a piece of my Dad’s legacy go away, I was confident that his loved car would be loved again by someone else…..instead of slowly deteriorating in my driveway. Thanks again Guys!
If there was 10 stars I’d give them a 10.
My husband turned 60 this year, and I wanted to surprise him with his dream offroad vehicle. I searched high and low on the internet to find a 1972 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I finally found one, but the next step I knew for me was going to be the hard part…who can I trust, I know nothing about old cars. As my first call to Car Finders was slightly nerve racking, it soon turned to a comfortable and informative experience. Courtney eased my stress as he informed me about how pain free the process of buying a vintage car could be. I purchased the FJ for my husband’s birthday and couldn’t have been more excited, my husband was ecstatic with his birthday present, loving his new FJ with every spare moment.
