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.

It was weird they brought the Rabbit name back for what, 1-2 years? I remember the peppy commerical with the Birds and Bees soundtrack. They're multiplying like Rabbits!

There’s been a million Volkswagens featured on UCOTD. Not a single Lexus to date. Variety much?

Slavuta "The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. " --- 1984
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh ""The 10L1000 transmissions are built by GM and vetted by Allison"" .. ewww for tranny? your not losing anything killing the brandingThe term "10L1000" refers to the Allison 10L1000 10-speed automatic transmission, used in 2020 and newer heavy-duty GM Silverado and Sierra trucks with the Duramax 6.6L diesel engine. It is a heavily modified version of a jointly developed Ford/GM 10-speed platform, engineered by Ford with Allison branding and designed to handle increased torque and offer better fuel economy compared to its predecessor, the 6-speed Allison 1000.
Wantahertzdonut Among my parent's friends (all engineer/teacher couples), they were friends with one couple that stood out because they were legitimately cool people. They had a 900 and I'll never forget getting a ride back from dinner on hilly roads in western NY in 1989. Everyone else had some rusty penalty box of a car, but that Saab proved to me then there's more to life than practical cars.
