This 2006 VW Passat has been a great car for us and we hate to see it go, but a new car purchase means we are out of space.  We are listing this car with no reserve, the winning bid buys this car.  I will try to be as detailed as possible, but if I miss something please feel free to ask.  The exterior of this Passat is beautiful Blue Graphite with sharp looking optional 17" factory sport wheels in satin silver, these larger wheels really make the car stand out from most other Passats on the market.  The car spent a good portion of its life inside the garage so the paint is not faded.  It does have a couple of rock chips and scratches, but certainly within normal wear.  The car is rust free and not driven in the snow.  The interior is black with the optional leather seats.  The seats are in perfect condition and show no wear at all, not even on the drivers seat.  In fact, the entire interior (including the trunk) is in amazing shape.  The car comes with the original unused floor mats, as well as the optional factory deep grooved rubber mats, the carpet is perfect.   The only signs of any wear in the interior are the lock buttons on the drivers door, these are cheap to replace if you want the interior to be perfect.  Non-smoker car.   The glass has no chips.  The car does have the optional power moonroof and in dash 6 CD changer with XM Radio.  Power locks, windows, mirrors, etc.  As mentioned, under condition, the AC does not currently work.  I read online these cars were notorious for having bad AC compressors.  I recently bought a used upgraded compressor here on ebay and installed it, but I have not charged the Freon so this will still likely have to be done as I doubt I'll get around to it... other than that, I believe everything works on the car.

The engine runs great and has had the oil changed religiously every 3,000 mile with the recommended synthetic oil and we always use 93 octane gas (it gets around 30 mpg on the highway).  We've never had any mechanical issues with the engine.  The 6 speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly, both manually and in the automatic mode.  The brakes are fine and free from any vibrations.  The tires are nether new, but don't need replacing either, I'd guess they have about 20,000 miles on them.  The car rides and drives nice.   We are the second owners and to the best of my knowledge the car has never been in any accidents or had any body work.  We bought it from an older gentleman and it has been driven by a middle aged woman since, this car has not been abused at all.

This Passat is a sharp looking car and is the latest generation body style, it looks like a 2010 model year... especially with the larger factory sport wheels.  Overall it's in great shape and will no doubt make someone a happy owner.  It's a lot of car for the money, there's no doubt about that.  We will be happy to work with the buyer to make the pickup or delivery as easy as possible for the new owner. If someone would like to see or test drive the car before the end of the auction we'd be happy to show it.  We have the clear title in hand.   We are listing this with no reserve simply because we need the room. Please do not bid if you don’t have cash ready.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
