The Volkswagen Fox GL Wagon we featured last month is back up for sale at no reserve. For those who like their Volkswagens with a bit of South American flavor, these Fox Wagons are affordable and rather rare modern classics.

The Volkswagen Fox was another interesting Brazilian import; called the “Gol” in other markets, the Fox was the new entry level car for Volkswagen in the late 1980s. With a low base price, many were without options but they got great fuel economy and offered a taste of Germany (albeit flavored in Brazil) for little money. A favorite amongst enthusiasts were the somewhat rare 2-door wagons, which offered one of the largest rear quarter windows ever produced and plenty of space to haul your load – slowly:

When it rains, so the saying goes. From zero Audi Foxes to two in two weeks, unlike the rare but in need of some work Fox Avant comes this ready to drive Fox sedan. Not often do driver-quality Foxes come up for sale at all, and this one looks great in white over tan. With some later 14″ Audi Coupe alloys fitted, this is a smart looking alternative to a 320i for the Volkswagen or Audi faithful:

How rare is the VW Fox these days? As an aside, I went looking through the last several years of posts for the last time we featured one. Can you guess when it was? Never is correct. Though they do come up for sale from time to time and we’ve seen a few of the Fox’s bigger brother 100 and cousin Passat, we have never featured a Audi Fox. So that should tell you they’re quite rare, if nothing else does. Then, on top of that when you add in that this is the original Audi Avant – the first wagon Audi imported to the U.S. – you’ve got one seriously rare bird.
The Audi 80 was really a bit of a revolutionary design for Audi. Handsome, compact and reliable, it shared heavily with Volkswagen Passat underpinnings. It replaced the multi-engined F103 model (which was itself a DKW) named for their engine horsepower outputs – hence the Audi “80”. The 80 was brought to the U.S. in “Fox” form and sold in small numbers. The Avant was certainly the most rare of the offerings though, and it is downright rare to see one in any shape today. This particular offering has some needs, but is amazingly mostly rust free and comes from only its second owner:
