Used Car of the Day: 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
Yeah, yeah, two Volkswagens in two days. Two hatchback VWs, nonetheless. I know, I get it, but I can't control what is and isn't listed in our forums. And this 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit isn't the same as the GTI featured yesterday, anyway.
This one has about 140K miles on it and has a manual transmission.
Our seller says it has had little exposure to salt and there is minimal surface rust. They also seem to have kept up with regular maintenance.
It also appears that there have also been more than a few small modifications and non-maintenance repairs.
The car does need some work -- mostly cosmetic on the inside and out, including some paint work and interior button replacement.
If this one interests you, you can find it in Kansas for $2,000. Click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

There’s been a million Volkswagens featured on UCOTD. Not a single Lexus to date. Variety much?
I actually had a 2007 Rabbit a few years back, also manual, and it was one of the most fun little cars I’ve owned. Mine needed a bit of cosmetic love too, but the engine was solid as long as I kept up with the basics. If this one has been maintained and the rust is minimal, it could still be a great daily. Anyone else here owned one long-term?
