US $7,999.00
Year:2003 Mileage:92111
Location:

 This 2003 VW Passat W8 4 Motion is in very good condition. It only has 92,111 miles on it and has been well maintained, I've owned the car since April of 2011 and have the service records since I've owned it. It has all the standard equipment that the W8 Passat came with.
 The body is in excellent condition, there are a couple of light scratches on the hood and the trunk lid, no rust and the color is Shadow Blue Metallic. The car has been in 2 accidents since I've owned it, a driveway scrape on the right front and rear doors they were repaired and repainted, and a front end damage (replaced bumper, grill, left headlight assembly), the body work was performed by Rife's Auto Body (one of the best body shops in central Ohio).
 The interior is in very good condition, the drivers seat and front passenger seat have the standard wear for an 11 year old car. Right rear seat has a small burn on it about a 1/4 of an inch. No rips or tears anywhere. There is a chip of wood missing on the center console(see photo).
 The engine light comes on some times (don't know what it is, I've had it checked several times), the hood support rod needs to be replaced (about $35.00), sunroof sticks, missing antenna, and the steering wheel controls for the radio are disabled due to the upgraded stereo. Those are the problems, everything else works great. The mufflers are custom and you get the original mufflers, the wheels are 18" X 8" with new tires (around 1500 miles on them), I also have the original OEM BBS upgraded wheels (1 is cracked but might be repairable). Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

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.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
