Up for sale here we have a Passat TDI 2005, 2.0L Direct Injection Diesel with 5 speed automatic transmission. It currently has 171000 miles or 273000km. Mechanically there is nothing wrong with the car, everything functions as intended with no exceptions including the A/C. I personally replaced the Timing belt, all idlers and water pump on the car so it is good for another 60k miles. Oil change has been done with proper 5w40 Synthetic oil from Germany. The alternator is very recent, one of the CV axles as well. The brakes have more than 80% life left, tires are also ok for another year or so. The transmission had also some issues which were corrected, i had the valve body rebuilt (bill can be provided ~800$) and I replaced the B clutch assembly (reverse gear) which is prone to failure. The transmission has also been cleaned up internally and new oil and filter put in. I did most of the repairs myself, I do all maintenance on my personal cars with meticulous care and attention to detail. The Passat also comes with a small trailer hitch and wiring already installed.

The interior is clean no stains, or tears in the leather, it is a non-smoker car, carpets are also very clean.

The only few imperfections on the car are:
-Small bubbled paint spot on driver's side door under trim
-Piece of trim missing on rear left door and signs of bubbled paint under trim
-Tiny spot of bubbled paint on rear left fender arch
-Front bumper has a parking lot scratch
-Few tiny stone chip locations on top of windscreen, they have been touched up with same color paint to prevent rust.


Note: These cars carry a 12 year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, it is highly likely the rust issues will be covered. If you want more information please contact your local VW dealer.

The winning bidder also will get a set of summer brand new original Schwaben carpets and the already in car Monster type winter mats. I will also include a set of winter tires made by Nokian in Finland (75% life left), mounted on 15" steel rims. 

The car is located in Quebec, Canada at very close proximity to the Champlain NY border.
It can be exported, the same car was sold in the USA as well, but as usual please check with local DMV and US Customs what this involves.

If you are looking for a very comfortable, quiet, large and ECONOMIC car then look no further as there is no car that will compare with the fuel economy of TDI Diesels. Also rest assured that with proper maintenance these cars do not lose their value as compared to their gasoline counterparts.

I have a local listing for this car as well, and reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

If you have any questions please ask before bidding. Serious bidders only.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
