2000 VW Passat 2.8L V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. To view the video with a complete description of the car, listen to it run, etc: http://youtu.be/yagNxWvYXJA

Below is pretty much what I go over in the video, except you don't get to hear the car running, watch the windows go up and down, sunroof work, view my contact information, etc. I have tried to take as many pertinent pictures of the car as I could. If you have anything specific you want to see or need to know about please let me know. I did include several undercarriage pictures as my best friend has a lift.

 I used this car primarily to get my kids to and from school and their therapy appointments. I did drive it when I worked (competition staff) the 2013 Great Race (antique car rally) from Minnesota along the mighty Mississippi River to Mobile, Alabama. 

I'm selling it because in three weeks I am starting Nursing school and I don't have the time to continue preventive maintenance that still need to be done and also, I cannot get to places I need to go due to clearance issues. So, I have replaced it with a daily driving Jeep.  I have the parts, just not the time. The car does Run & Drive Good.

This car has 197,800 miles though that is likely to change as I still drive it at least every other day. It gets Great gas mileage, around 24-26 MPG. The interior is in Ok condition. Some of the leather is ripped or torn. Rear seat is really good behind the drivers seat, but has tears on the passenger side, carpet could use a cleaning in back, front seats have covers on them, glove box has been fixed three times. The way it is now is still functional, just not the prettiest. I have a black glove box I will include with the car.

Features:

A/C that will get you chilly

Leather Seats

Heated Seats in the front

Cruise Control

6 Disc CD Changer

AM/FM Radio & Cassette Player

Power Windows

**IF the car is purchased through Buy It Now OR the price reaches $2400. I will include the Bentley Shop Manual ($100 value).**

Flex pipe (drivers side) (Feb. 2013)

CV axle (Passenger side) ( Feb. 2014)

Windshield replaced by ABRA, Oct. 2013 after a trip to TX where an 18 wheeler kicked up metal debris cracking the windshield

Cabin Air Filter & Air Filter last Spring

Kumho Ecsta tires (put on June 2013)

Windshield wipers (May 2014)

Transmission Fluid (May 2014) * Old Fluid was still in great condition*

Oil Changes were done every 3-4 months, depending my traveling. Every other change we rotated the tires, inspected them & the brakes.


I would like to note that I was in a minor fender bender In October of last year. Everything has been fixed except the windshield fluid bottle & putting silicone beneath the ECM box.



What needs to be done (Preventive Maintenance):

Check Engine Light is ON:  It is on ONLY because of the air pump not working. I HAVE one I just don't have the time to install it. The codes are P1423 & P1411.

Windshield Fluid Light is ON:  Bottle has not been installed. I HAVE one again, I just don't have the time. This does require the lines that were severed in the accident to be spliced.

Some mornings when you crank the car, the cam chain rattles for a short time on the passenger side. I have the cam tensioner pads, valve cover gasket & the cam tensioner tool to do the job that I am including with the car. There is a slight oil leak, about six drops the size of quarters everyday that you drive it.

ECM box needs to be taken out and silicon put on the bottom of it as it shifted a little bit causing it to leak when it rains. 

All the drain holes were cleaned out back in April.


The car is Rust Free. Clearcoat is peeling in a few areas, primarily in front of the sunroof.

I've really enjoyed having the car, it gets great gas mileage and will get up and go! This car has saved me several mornings when getting my teen daughter to school before the bell rings :)

The Traction control works Great on this car. This past winter I got to experience it when the infamous weather that "paralyzed" Atlanta hit us as well. I watched cars slide in front of me and beside me, including a BMW that gave up, parked at a gas station. This car gracefully climbed up several hills allowing my kids and I to get home from their therapy appointments!

What my kids and I will miss most about this car are the heated seats, the heater itself and the defrosters. Usually within 15 minutes of driving down the road you're ready to strip layers of clothing off because it gets nice and toasty warm. The defrosters are by far the best I had ever had. It doesn't take very long for the ice to melt off the back glass or the windshield. Imagine that your neighbor who started their vehicle before you are still scrapping their windshield as you're driving off! 

We have really enjoyed the car and hope that someone else will enjoy the car as much as we have. 

The car has a clear title and is ready to be yours!

We can deliver the car within 100 miles

It is located 30 minutes from Chattanooga, 2 hours from Atlanta and 3 hours from Nashville.

A deposit of $250 (PayPal) is required within 72 hours of Auction End.  If you need my contact information to ask any specific questions, please view the video and toward the end it will be listed. Or you may message me through Ebay.

A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below.

Volkswagen Golf GTE Sport Concept debuts at Worthersee

Thu, May 14 2015

Do you like hot Volkswagens? So do we. And that's why the annual Worthersee festival in Austria is a treat. It's where the Volkswagen Group shows off some performance-minded concept cars, like the GTI Clubsport or the 600-horsepower Audi TT. But VW wants to show that it's possible to increase performance while still maintaining some eco-friendly dignity. And that's where this striking Golf GTE Sport Concept comes in. The concept is powered by a three-motor plug-in hybrid system. There's a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four up front, with electric motors mounted at each axle. Total output is said to be 396 horsepower, which is enough to move the all-wheel-drive hatch to 62 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 174 mph. It can drive under full electric power, act as a traditional hybrid, or go into full "GTE" mode, where the engine and both motors are on full assault. Its styling is definitely forward-thinking, with angles and creases abound. But it still retains that signature Golf C-pillar design, with a two-tier adaptation first seen on the outrageous GTI W12-650 concept from 2007. The body is largely constructed from carbon fiber and has doors that swing forward and up (think BMW i8). Volkswagen says the Golf GTE Sport Concept "bridges the gap between road cars and racing sport cars." That's evident inside the car, too. There's a rakish dashboard with a three-tier instrument display setup, and a very aggressive cockpit design for the two-seat cabin. Five-point seatbelts on each chair and a racing-inspired steering wheel really drive home the performance mindset of this concept. There's a lot more to learn in the detailed press release below. Check it out, but not before scrolling through the image gallery above. This one's certainly a looker. World premiere of the Golf GTE Sport: Plug-in hybrid sports car catapults the GT idea to the future - Lightweight and high-strength body of the Golf GTE Sport is made of carbon - Concept car with a top speed of 280 km/h is a zero emission vehicle and a race car in one Five key facts about the Golf GTE Sport: 1. Golf GTE Sport is powered by a 295 kW / 400 PS plug-in hybrid system 2. Progressive Golf GTE Sport bridges the gap between road cars and racing sport cars 3. Avant-garde exterior design of the Golf GTE Sport perfects the idea of C-pillars with two-level construction 4. Golf GTE Sport debuts with digital instruments arranged on three levels and tailored to motor racing 5.
