First, if you don’t know allot about the Phaeton here is a link to a thorough review:

www.acarplace.com/reviews/2005/phaeton.html

THIS IS A EXTREMELY RARE, SUPER LOW MILEAGE 2004 aubergine nocturne Volkswagen Phaeton.  I am the proud third owner of this beautiful VW vehicle.  The Phaeton just passed PA emissions and inspection last week.  I planed on trading the Phaeton in on our the new vehicle for our family, but I feel based on the service history, extraordinary low mileage, great condition, color combo rarity, and care put into this vehicle the dealerships offer of $10k trade was quite low and I could do better selling it outright. 

How rare you ask?  Well, there is only ONE, YES ONE aubergine nocturne for sale in all of North America with lower miles (51,000).  TOTAL, there are only THREE Phaetons under 60,000 miles for sale in NA, with the lowest asking price at $19k.

It goes without saying that a vehicle with low of mileage rarely comes along.  Better yet, it will easily qualify for a extended warranty.  For instance, when we bought the car a couple years ago we purchased a extended warranty for just over a grand, and it was good for 5 years, or 100 ODO.  This existing warrenty we have may be transferable to the new owner, but we will have to check on that and can't guarantee it will.    

That being said, within the last 3,000 miles the following items have been serviced by our local Audi/VW dealers certified Phaeton technician:

  1. Factory wheels have been chromed.  Yes, these are OEM Phaeton wheels that are load support bearing for the extensive weight of this vehicle.  This is the only Phaeton I have ever seen with chrome wheels and it really completes the high end look.
  2. Transmission mechatronics unit was replaced
  3. All transmission fluids flushed
  4. Two rear window regulators replaced
  5. Rear factory door speaker replaced
  6. Oil & air filter changed on schedule
  7. Billet aluminum oil cap (A MUST for changing oil since the factory plastic one can strip!!!)
  8. New brake pads front and rear
  9. New spark plugs
  10. 4 New all Season Michelin Tires
  11. New wiper blades
  12. New HID headlamp Bulbs
  13. Both batteries in the rear replaced with heavy duty AGM batteries
  14. LLumar (very light) window film
  15. All season VW factory Phaeton front floor mats (very hard to find)
  16. All season rear long wheel base floor mats (very hard to find as well)
  17. 70% window film all around
  18. Refrigerator Cool Box upgrade in rear center arm rest (REALLY NEAT FEATURE)!
  19. All CD-roms for the navigation are available, including the compatible 2013 BMW update CD-roms.
  20. Finally, the car has adjustable billet aluminum lowering links from the UK.  The factory arms have been kept as well for the new owner.  Lowers the car 2”-3” for a nice clean look.

To the very best of my knowledge, all electronic features work on this vehicle (i.e. interior lights, buttons, mirrors, etc.).  In addition, there is practically no wear on any surfaces, and even the driver seat looks great (i.e. the love handle rubbing from getting in/out is about 95% non existent).  In full disclosure, the only item that requires attention is the windshield washer squirter since it is not pushing out enough fluid (i.e. loss of pressure in the line somewhere, but the motor sounds strong).  Perhaps the nozzle need replaced or lines checked?  Should be a simple fix for someone handy so I will not attend to it before selling at such a low price due to the hassle.  Otherwise, all she needs is a good home and caring new owner. 

Good luck and happy bidding!  Feel free to contact me for a phone number to discuss through ebay too.  I AM NOT DEALER, and tire kickers not appreciated. NO TRADES, again, only selling to do a little better than the dealer trade in offer and get quick cash.  Clear title, but note…the lein has been paid off as of 1-10-14, but it may still show since the title is in process from our financial institution to us.  Please, do not let this become a concern, we will verify the lien is paid in full for interested parties.  All factory VW service receipts dating back to around 2007 included in sale as well. No pets, no smoking, no odors, garage kept.  Exceptionally clean throughout. THANK YOU!!!!

I reserve the right to end the auction early, so if interested, please make me a (reasonable) offer.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.

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.

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.
