Night Blue Metallic Automatic 2.5 Se Passat With Moonroof, Alloy Wheels, Leather on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
|
I am a wholesale dealer and owner of an auto body shop in Arizona, who has been selling to dealers only since 2001. I visit many auctions and buy cars and trucks to customize or repair and resell them back to retail dealers. My company almost never offers cars or trucks to the public ( four in 13 yrs) but I very rarely deal in salvage title vehicles. However, I ran across this Passat at the auction in Las Vegas, Hertz had this car for sale and after inspecting it, I was amazed that they salvaged this title. But Hertz, unlike the other rental companies is known to do this often. The vehicle took a hit on the front passenger side and triggered the airbag system. Being in the auto repair business, I am aware that sometimes even if it is not a bad accident, all it has to do is trigger the sensor. Knowing the car needed very little in regards of the fix, I purchased it and brought it back to my shop. I replaced the airbags with factory OEM ones, and fixed the bodywork. After finishing the car, I liked it so much I have made it my daily driver back and forth to my shop. (23 miles across Phoenix each way) therefore the miles will go up a few hundred by the end of the auction.
This Passat is loaded with options and looks and drives like brand new. After driving it to the shop and back a few times, I decided that this car would be perfect for someone wanting to get a practically new car for a lot less . So I am offering this one to the public instead of me passing it on to an independent dealer. I welcome any questions and inspections on this unit. Just message me on ebay, and I will get back to you. I also deal with shipping companies throughout the country so shipping ( at my cost) will not be a problem. If the winner bidder is from Arizona, sales tax has to be added, but being that I never sale to the public- I'm not going to charge a document fee. Thanks for looking and happy bidding, but please do not bid if you do not have the funds to pay for it. Also I reserve the right to end the auction before the ending time if sold locally. |

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen 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.
