Used Volkswagen Cars for Sale near Apache Junction, AZ

This car was fantastic when I first purchased it (new in 1988). I paid over $13,000 at the time which was bad enough, but the next year VW decided to drop the selling prices of the new models to $8,500. Overall the car was a champ, but I abused the heck out of it. It could easily attain the top speed on the odometer (120 mph) and did so once that I know of. The main drawback was that the tires were narrow and the car was very light, thus in the rain at speed the vehicle tended to brake long. It was wrecked once and suffered many ailments thereafter including a persistent incurable window leak.

I am the proud owner of a 1989 Volkswagen Fox GTS, That model comes with a 5-speed instead of a 4 speed transmission. The car has never left me stranded. The car is a 2 door and yes it is a 1.8L 4 cylinder with a factory 5 speed transmission, I have put a TT tuning 270 cam into it, a moddified Audi 200 Turbo intake manifold, Switched the CIS-E to Digifant fuel injection. The VW Fox wasnt the first fox. In North America and Australia, the 80 was sold as the Audi Fox for model years 1973–79. so a little history lesson.

I had in Edmonton I paid $250 for this 87 fox with 220,000kms it was badly rusted on the sides but the floors had no rust. This was not one of Volkswagens nicer models but the four speed standard was fun to drive, I drove the supreme hell of this vdub for 4 months and it never once let me down. I drove it to the scrap yard the day I flew home to Cape Breton from Edmonton.

Excellent beginners car. Easy to work on. Lovely body styling. Escellent gas milage. easy to upholster seating. You can find these cheap less than $1500.00 . Blast to drive. Wouldnt trade it in for anything. would do anything to own another 2 door fox for a play toy.

Had our 2-door wagon since new ($9,000 out the door). Still runs just fine, front seat back latch mechanism on driver's side died, upholstery panel on inside of rear hatch doesn't stay on well, and gas springs on hatch are marginal after 22 years. Other than that, it's been a great little car and I expect to get a lot more use out of it. Handles like a go kart. Plenty of space in back for our greyhound dog.
