Find of the Day: 1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI Oettinger 16S

To those in the know, the Oettinger 16S GTI is easily considered the ‘holy grail’ when it comes to first generation cars.  Equipped with an in-house developed 16 valve engine producing more than 130hp, Oettinger 16S converted GTIs were fast enough to outrun many BMWs of the day, and easily outpaced other hot hatches on the market.  So when one of these super rare cars pops up for sale, it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.

Recently popping up on German eBay, this 16S appears to be more of a driver than a concours winner even though it has traveled just 107,000 miles since new.  The seller also claims that the vehicle has never been in an accident, but aside from that, there really isn’t a whole lot of information given on its current state. What we can deduce, however, is that all of the Oettinger bits are still installed on the car, meaning that it will be a great addition to the next owner’s collection.

This Oettinger 16S is currently available on German eBay for 27,500 Euros ($30,764.25 USD), located just outside of Luxembourg, Germany.  Check out the full ad, right here.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
