If
you want to talk deal,
pick up the phone
and make your serious offer.
702-353-7500
I don't respond messages such as:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What is your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What is your bottom
dollar?"
"Do you have a
Buy-it-Now?"
"What's it take to buy
it?"
"What is you asking
price?"
I will not email
you a figure but we can talk about it.
It's an Auction! That means . . .
it's your
number that counts . . . not mine.
Also, if yours is among the hundreds of emails I get with
any of the above lame questions, I will immediately
assume that you(r):
•
have not
taken time to read the listing
•
have
zero intent to purchase
• are
clueless about relevant market values
• forthcoming "offer" will be completely detached from
reality
26
years in the business has proven beyond all doubt that serious buyers
read every line, look at every picture, research well
enough on their own and feel confident making a real
offer.
Our presentations are unequalled, on eBay or anywhere
else.
We are therefore, usually able to choose from among
quality buyers that actually want to
purchase a vehicle.
THE ONLY WAY TO WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME!
My
vehicles are so unique and so rare,
knowing how much they will or should sell for is nearly impossible.
That is the magic of an eBay auction . . . serious
buyers making a serious offer.
If
I'm in the
black,
you will own this vehicle!

Backstory
from the owner...
You are
looking for the nicest, best
maintained Passat you can find. You are
here because the quality found in your neck of
the woods, by any measure, is a
joke. I know exactly how you feel. I
attend specialty and dealer-only auctions searching for the best of the best in what
my assistant (Foy) and I call "niche
autos." I scan lists of over 3,000
vehicles locally each week and select cars I've
come to know are hard to find and that fit my
business model of marketing exclusively on eBay.
Diesel Volkswagens make it onto my own list
every time they show up and a very small number will appear at one of the
three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or
perhaps in a local classifieds. Over the
past 12 years doing business, I'll see maybe 20-30
each year and what that means for you is; I have
looked at,
touched, smelled and walked away from a lot of
Volkswagens.
I am extremely picky about what to buy and this
turbo-diesel
Passat is one of just a handful worthy my hard
earned money. Past ownership, service history and
condition, condition, condition are what
matters. High demand vehicles are not
always treated well, but a precious few are
taken care of and given proper respect. This particular Passat is one
of those rare finds and you will not want to pass
it
up. Beautiful paint, spectacular interior,
service history
and an absolute knock-out to see in person. What
else could you want? A great deal? I
have that covered too but you will not be
purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or
even low book value. You already know you
get what you pay for and if you want unmatched
quality, service, care and just an all around
exceptional car, this Passat is a rare find
indeed. Read what Foy
has to say about his time driving this Diesel
Volkswagen. Examine
every picture in detail, see the amazing
condition, up close and personal and then make
your call and give me an offer. I promise,
you will not be disappointed.
Doug - Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. |
2-owner, 2005 Volkswagen Passat GL TDI
with just 79,617 well cared for miles. Paint is
outstanding, interior is beautiful, the car starts, runs
like new and drives like new. We acquired this
turbo-diesel rocket nearly a year ago. The plan was;
(as it always is) fix whatever small issues we find (we
did, see above list) give it a pro-level detail (that too, including undercarriage power wash) and sell
the dang thing, probably on the first listing because TDIs
are in such high demand. Problem is; what makes
Volkswagen diesels such a red hot commodity are the
things we like too. So much so in fact, we kept
putting off selling our 59,000 mile dream-puff until
"next week." Now, 51 next-weeks later, the car has
79,617 miles. Over 20,000 miles of love from all
that drive it, including the boss, his wife, his two
boys and your humble scribe . .
.
People that know and love Volkswagen
diesels would recognize my smile the first time I leaned
into the throttle on this car. Two liters and 134
horsepower looks down right pathetic on paper. But,
advertised 247 ft-lbs of torque is worth noting.
Consider this; a 1976 Corvette Stingray (5.7 liter V8) made 255 ft-lbs
torque at 2,400 RPM. Many V6 sedans on the road today
have similar figures with a bigger engine and, of
course, worse mileage. This Passat has similar torque at
1,600 RPM, all the way to 3,500 . . .

Is a TDIs surprising performance the reason
these are so strong in the market? For me, the
powerful shove to the backside is merely a happy bonus, on
top of fuel mileage normally associated with a gutless pig
of a car. For example; a 2005 Toyota Corolla has four
less horsepower than this TDI and makes a paltry 125 ft-lb of
torque. The mileage "upside" for driving a car that can't get out of its
own way . . . 28 mpg city and 37 highway. The Passat
is rated 34 highway but we regularly drove over 600 miles
between fill ups. Something over 40 mpg was our real
world number on trips, of which we took plenty in this very
comfortable cruiser . . .
Besides amazing condition and low miles, the
other reason we bought this Passat is its great service
history. (see above provenance) Our contribution maintaining this tradition
includes: new brakes, air conditioner evac/recharge, a new
thermostat, vacuum pump, fuel pump, fan clutch and drive belts.
Also, somebody swiped the antenna so we sourced a new one from
Findlay Volkswagen in Henderson. It's tenure with us
includes a few
synthetic oil changes, we ponied up for tires in November
and just before Christmas, Doug had all the windows tinted,
including the windshield. As far as service goes, it
doesn't get any better than this . . .
Most people are impressed their first time
behind the wheel of this generation Passat. I think it feels
like an E-class Mercedes and at 6'4", legroom is
important to me; this Passat is among the few cars in
the world I actually have to nudge the seat forward a
bit. No exaggeration; this car has more front seat
legroom than a Lincoln Town Car. I know, because I
worked at a Lincoln dealership for years . . .
When talking/writing about our vehicles, it
sometimes takes considerable effort finding enthusiasm for
certain vehicles.
I can honestly say, this Passat is more fun to drive than a
lot pricier and/or sportier vehicles you can think of and
my affection toward this incredible Volkswagen is real.
I love its low end grunt, its luxurious amenities, its
thundering Monsoon audio system and how un-diesel like it
sounds and behaves. What I like most however, is the
performance of a larger, modern V6 (and even many older V8s)
with the fuel mileage of a tiny, no power, no options, no
fun "economy" car. Direct
injection technology has made them quieter and cleaner at
the tailpipe and intercooled turbo-charging delivers serious
performance from a relatively small engine. This
2005 Volkswagen Passat GL TDI sedan comes with very low
miles, documented service history and spectacular condition,
inside and out. All of us love this car and will miss
it. You will love it too . . .
