2001 VW PASSAT 1.8T! 

THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD NO RESERVE! THE TOP BIDDER TAKES THIS CAR!

 

This vehicle is the 2001 1/2 Volkswagen Passat GLS 1.8 Turbo.  The car runs beautifully and has far lower miles than is typical for these cars.  This car has leather interior, heated seats, power sunroof and an upgraded sound system with auxiliary input for your personal music device. This car comes with the valet key. 

Car and Driver wrote about this vehicle "The familiar 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 20 more horsepower, thanks to increased turbo boost (10.2 psi rather than 8.4). That additional power combined with the shorter (numerically higher) gears for first through third in the standard five-speed manual is good for a half-second drop in the Passat GLS's 0-to-60 time. Our test car, equipped with the five-speed, hit 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. That bests four-cylinder mid-size competitors by two to three seconds and is roughly equal to competitors with V-6s and automatic powertrains. This despite a weight gain of about 150 pounds to a still-reasonable-for-the-class 3238.

Torque steer is nonexistent. Chalk one up for the Audi-sourced multilink front suspension.

More important--in the world outside the test track--is the 11 more pound-feet of torque the higher-boost turbo provides. Before the turbo starts spinning in earnest, the little 1.8-liter has its work cut out for it. Once the turbo segues into the power-delivery business, though, the GLS moves out with authority. So much so, in fact, that we wonder why anyone would pay the extra money for the optional 190-hp, 2.8-liter V-6.

Also largely unchanged is the interior, which is fine by us. The '98 Passat set a new standard in the segment for materials quality and lovely little touches such as soft-return grab handles and heated seats.

There are more baby steps along the upmarket trek for the interior. VW replaced the utterly useless, flimsy swing-out cup holders for two proper holes in the new center console. (Rejoice!) There are new bezels around the four analog gauges. They are, of course, shiny. Otherwise, the interior remains the same as always, with supportive seats, an elegant design, and roomy rear quarters. And all 20011/2 Passats come with a standard side-curtain airbag system.

 

Expect normal wear and tear for the year and mileage. Don't miss out; please feel free to email or call us with any questions you might have 954-319-6363. We are here to help and want you to bid with confidence. As always we welcome pre end of auction inspections, and remember that this is a used vehicle and to expect to always have to do something to your new car. Also if you would like a picture of something specific feel free to ask.

You are entering into a legal and binding contract to purchase this vehicle described above. Winning bidder MUST contact us within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for FULL payment at that time. Pickup times must be scheduled with 72 hours notice, due to getting the vehicles fully detailed, paperwork ready, etc.

If no contact is made within 48 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Appropriate feedback will be left at the end of all transactions! There is a $199 dealer services fee added to all transactions.

Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipment of this vehicle within 14 days of auction end and PAYS ALL SHIPPING COSTS. All vehicles not picked up after 14 days from the close of auction will be subjected to a $20.00 per day storage fee, unless satisfactory prior arrangements are made and full payment has been received. We works with several local and national auto transport shipping companies. If you need shipping you may contact us for a listing of quality and reliable transporters. You may also locate shippers by doing a web search for “auto shippers”.

We guaranty that this unit comes with a clean and lien free title.

All vehicles are sold "AS-IS, WHERE-IS." No warranty is expressed, written or implied from the seller whatsoever; however, there may be a manufacturers’ factory warranty remaining on the vehicle. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value of this vehicle and to bid based upon that judgment solely.

Pre-sale inspections are not only welcome, but are recommended and encouraged. We will make every available effort to accommodate a time for either you or a certified mechanic of your choice to inspect this vehicle at our location. Please have all inspections done prior to bidding. Inspections companies are listed on our page and easily found on the web as well as within eBay. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Please remember the age of the unit that you are purchasing and expect to spend for repairs accordingly.

If you have any questions about this vehicle - please ASK. Never assume anything not listed is included. We reserve the right to end this listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale and to notify bidders and cancel this auction at any time. Additionally, we reserve the right to cancel bids placed from those with excessive negative feedbacks or zero feedbacks.

PLEASE be realistic and realize that these are used vehicles and although we only buy the cleanest cars available, a nick or chip is always possible. All used cars including this one may have dings, nicks and chips, scratches and any other marks that are associated with use consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle. Obviously, a car that is 10 years old will show more wear and have more flaws than one that is only 2 years old. Classic cars will show difference in their condition based on whether original or restored expect normal wear and tear. Most cars are sold at wholesale prices, many, way below book prices. Therefore, there is minimum profit, especially on "no reserve" auctions. As such, we cannot afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it for full list price. We strongly recommend that all buyers purchase the Extended Service Warranty (available on most cars). This will help defray the cost of mechanical repairs should any become necessary in the future. 

Remember some of these cars are near a decade old and they may be new to you, but that does not change the fact that they are used vehicles and repairs may be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. All basic maintenance should be done to start off from scratch with your new vehicle we will check all fluids. While we try to service any known defects it is always possible for any used vehicles to need service or repairs in the first days or weeks of ownership; NOT likely, but possible! Since these vehicles are used, please remember that books, extra keys, remote entry keys, CD cartridges, etc....do not always remain with the vehicle throughout their life. We will not be responsible for these minor accessories. These items are all replaceable at any local Factory Dealer or here on eBay for a few dollars.

Placing your bid on this auction constitutes your agreement and acceptance of these terms and conditions. In addition, all non paying bidders will be held liable for a $500.00 re-listing fee that, if not paid, WILL be filed with all 3 major credit bureaus.

ONLY BID WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY. IF A RESERVE IS PLACED AND NOT MET, WE MAY CONTACT THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER TO OFFER A SECOND CHANCE OPTION.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
