Germantown, Tennessee, United States

2002 VW Passat. Car runs and drives and has been a daily driver but it does need some work to be 100%. This is a great car for someone to drive and fix as they go along. Here is the deal. Over the last few weeks I decided to sell the car and buy a new one. This car has been good but it needs more work than I'd like to get into and I just want a new car so its time for it to go. I'm ready to buy, like buy now.....this weekend. SO I need this sold, preferably by this weekend and its priced as such.  

Pwr and Heated seats
Pwr Windows and locks with keyless entry

Runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission shifts good, no slipping. Sometimes shifts a little funny but nothing that seems too concerning. Interior is clean and consistent with the age. Leather heated seats are in great condition. Body is solid with no rust and the paint shines nice. Does have a few dings and some paint work to the hood and both fenders. The paint work looks ok but the color doesn't match 100%. The damage was from a deer. Hood and one fender were damaged. No air bag deployment.

The tires are decent, probably needs two right away, it has a vibration at highway speeds that seems to be coming from the rear tire. Needs rear brakes and rotors, The front brakes and rotors are new. Drivers side door lock only works with the key. And just yesterday we noticed an oil leak, which at best glance appears to be coming from the oil pan, looks to have a very small crack in the pan. The check engine light is on.  A few of the Radio knobs are missing. The A/C unit isn't blowing very cold but who needs that this time of the year.

Recent new parts are both front exhaust pipes and 02 sensors, Belt and frt brakes and rotors. 

Its still a Passat!. A great car that just needs some work, perfect for a handy person to fix up.

The Car is located in Germantown TN. Clear PA title in hand ready to txfr, the car is from PA. Paypal deposit of $200 due within 24hrs of auction end. Cash balance due by Saturday 2/1. I would like the pick up to be on Fri or sat next week. This works best because its when I get my other car.

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.

Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
