2006 Volkswagen Touareg on 2040-cars
Pedricktown, New Jersey, United States
If you have any questions please email at: georgianngvvillacorta@ukmm.com . This is my second v-10 TDI. When i was blessed w 3 kids in a short period of time back in 2006 i made the mistake
of selling my 1st TDI and trying to pretend i could accept a minivan. The guy before me paid $85,000 sticker price.
There are only a couple hundred of these cars in existence in the U.S. and it is most definitely a collectors item.
The car has never been in an accident and over 28 years neither have I.
In addition to aforementioned options and maintenance last fall i had the drive shaft replaced which is a common
item to fail according to TDI forums around 75K miles. Also don't discount the 2 new batteries. Its an $1,900 job
to do w factory OEM batteries which this car has. The car needs nothing and has given me zero problems other than
the drive shaft breaking up. In Spring-14 i had new brakes and rotors all around done which was about 8K miles ago
rubber and pads are new all around.
This car is a monster and you wouldn't know it unless you had the guts to keep your foot to the floor. She pushes
620ft lb of torque as only a TDI does, as long as you can have the balls to keep your foot down. Unlike a gasoline
engine there are almost imperceptible shift points, the acceleration is unrelenting. And she will pull like that
with 2,5, or 10K lbs in tow just the same. For the record I only towed once for a friend and as i mentioned above
the hitch is factory and prewired.
Lets just say the AWD system mated to this twin turbo v-10 diesel is really impressive. The quality and
workmanship inside and out is very German. When the turbos spin up and you have the windows down you can hear the
whistle of these things spinning up anyone walking down the street knows this is not just another Toureg. I have
been stuck in 2-3' of snow up in NH or the Northeast on some fairly epic snowstorms the past two winters and this
truck at >6,000lbs is a tank in the snow. Holds the line and never ever gets stuck, not once. Even more
impressive to me is who she tracks at the limit in the ice and snow very assuring and easy to read. How well does
the AWD work? Watch a v-10 TDI pull a duramax monster truck down the road search toureg tdi truck pull on youtube.
The car is unmodified and as you can see by the pictures in showroom new condition. I am a pilot and well you can
expect this car has been treated like a private jet because it has. Why am i selling? Answer: I'm not sure
exactly yet. My kids have horses and well if i'm going to be towing a bunch or stinky horse people around its
probably not a great use of this high end luxury SUV.

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
