    What's a really cool used vehicle worth? Yesterday, 60% of you opined that 300 grand was too much for a beautiful Citroën DS21 Chapron Palm Beach, so today we're going with another much-beloved, yet more affordable, machine: a 1982 VW Rabbit Diesel pickup.

    It's had an engine upgrade and a ton of new parts, the interior is authentic Malaise Turquoise, and the whole package looks great. No doubt about it, this is the nicest example of a Rabbitamino we've seen in a long time. But… $12,000? What do you think?

    Why Tall People Can’t Drive VWs: It’s the Key, Stupid

    For over a year I've had huge problems with every VW I've driven. The alarm goes off seemingly at random while I'm driving. I've finally figured out why, it's the damn key. I've actually hesitated to review several cars because of the problem. More »
