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 Sunroof Cruise Control 6 Disc CD Changer AM/FM Radio & Cassette Player Power Windows Power Locks Front cup holders Defrost for the front and the back glass Rear Sunshade Full Size Spare Tire There is an owners manual, however it is for a 99 that we picked up at a Pull A Part junkyard. Extras: Spare key (key will unlock the door and trunk, remote part we've never been successful programming it); 2nd Full Size Spare Tire (other is in the car already); Extra center cap. **IF the car is purchased through Buy It Now OR the price reaches $2400. I will include the Bentley Shop Manual ($100 value).** Preventive Maintenance Performed: Timing Belt, Water Pump & Thermostat (June 2013, w/documentation) Cam Seals Cam Tensioner Gaskets Cam Position Sensor Spark Plugs Motor Mounts & Snub Mount (Sept. 2012) Coil Pack (Nov. 2013) Power Steering Pump (Nov. 2013) Radiator (Nov. 2013) ABS Module (rebuilt Jan. 2013) A/C was completely rebuilt (Spring 2013) Breather hose & PCV valve (March 2014) Brakes (all four done just prior to my ownership in late 2012) Control Arm (drivers side) (May 2014) 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. |

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
