In my opinion, overall, this is a "good condition" vehicle, especially when considering the mileage.  It has been fantastic for me and a pleasure to drive.  I have been the sole owner and I assure all interested parties there have been no accidents.  Also, if you are familiar with 2002 Passats, you'll be happy to know this vehicle has been fully serviced with all VW recommended maintenance thru 100k miles including timing belt replacement and cooling pump replacement.  Currently, the exhaust sounds a little louder than usual, suggesting a new muffler is required.  Also, the dash shows a "check engine" light which has been identified by VW Service as requiring a first-stage oxygen sensor replacement.  I am including the oxygen sensor part, however, I currently live too far from a dealership/service center to reasonably submit the vehicle for service.  Therefore, cost of parts and labor for replacing the muffler, and labor for replacing the sensor, will be the responsibility of the auction winner.  VW also recommends replacing the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal to resolve a minor oil leak. I am not including parts for this as, in my opinion, the leak is too minor to require maintenance.  Cost of parts and service for replacement of the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal will be at the discretion of, and at the expense of, the auction winner.  I estimate the brakes will need servicing in the next 15k miles.  The tires are mid-life with another 30k miles of expected use under normal driving conditions.  Finally, the Homelink panel for garage door opening/closing has come loose from the visor and requires replacement.  I have always used a separate system, but if you like or need to use Homelink you may want to consider this.  I do not have estimated costs for any of the above.  I have made every effort to fully disclose any issues with this vehicle.  I think if you are looking for a good, reliable vehicle for a low price, this will be perfect for you.  Please consider this vehicle for auction AS IS.  There is no warranty, expressed or implied.  Now you know everything I know about this awesome little sedan, except for what it's like to drive... I hope you get to find out.  Good luck on your bid!

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
