This 2006 VW Passat has been a great car for us and we hate to see it go, but a new car purchase means we are out of space.  We are listing this car with no reserve, the winning bid buys this car.  I will try to be as detailed as possible, but if I miss something please feel free to ask.  The exterior of this Passat is beautiful Blue Graphite with sharp looking optional 17" factory sport wheels in satin silver, these larger wheels really make the car stand out from most other Passats on the market.  The car spent a good portion of its life inside the garage so the paint is not faded.  It does have a couple of rock chips and scratches, but certainly within normal wear.  The car is rust free and not driven in the snow.  The interior is black with the optional leather seats.  The seats are in perfect condition and show no wear at all, not even on the drivers seat.  In fact, the entire interior (including the trunk) is in amazing shape.  The car comes with the original unused floor mats, as well as the optional factory deep grooved rubber mats, the carpet is perfect.   The only signs of any wear in the interior are the lock buttons on the drivers door, these are cheap to replace if you want the interior to be perfect.  Non-smoker car.   The glass has no chips.  The car does have the optional power moonroof and in dash 6 CD changer with XM Radio.  Power locks, windows, mirrors, etc.  As mentioned, under condition, the AC does not currently work.  I read online these cars were notorious for having bad AC compressors.  I recently bought a used upgraded compressor here on ebay and installed it, but I have not charged the Freon so this will still likely have to be done as I doubt I'll get around to it... other than that, I believe everything works on the car.

The engine runs great and has had the oil changed religiously every 3,000 mile with the recommended synthetic oil and we always use 93 octane gas (it gets around 30 mpg on the highway).  We've never had any mechanical issues with the engine.  The 6 speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly, both manually and in the automatic mode.  The brakes are fine and free from any vibrations.  The tires are nether new, but don't need replacing either, I'd guess they have about 20,000 miles on them.  The car rides and drives nice.   We are the second owners and to the best of my knowledge the car has never been in any accidents or had any body work.  We bought it from an older gentleman and it has been driven by a middle aged woman since, this car has not been abused at all.

This Passat is a sharp looking car and is the latest generation body style, it looks like a 2010 model year... especially with the larger factory sport wheels.  Overall it's in great shape and will no doubt make someone a happy owner.  It's a lot of car for the money, there's no doubt about that.  We will be happy to work with the buyer to make the pickup or delivery as easy as possible for the new owner. If someone would like to see or test drive the car before the end of the auction we'd be happy to show it.  We have the clear title in hand.   We are listing this with no reserve simply because we need the room. Please do not bid if you don’t have cash ready.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
