Fantastic vehicle with unbelievable torque, speed, acceleration and style. Great exterior and interior color combination. Best Touareg ever made, last year with that engine. If you Google the vehicle, you will see that it has a lot of history to it and it holds the Guiness World record in hauling etc..
It has ALL the options available from factory. It is the best AWD I have ever owned. I picked it up in October last year from the previous( and first owner ), as I needed a vehicle to drive through the winter in Indiana, and I always had exactly this vehicle on my list to own. Before me and after I bought it, it has been pampered and always stored inside in a heated garage. All service and maintenance has been performed on it at authorized VW dealership. Prior to when I bought it, it had two new turbos installed at VW plus some additional parts, as the engine was out. Invoices and documentation available on all of it. This car is set to last forever, many hundred thousands of miles and is a fantastic drive. It has never hauled anything. Since I bought it I have put a little less than 5.000 miles on it, and I have now moved to a place, where I will probably never use AWD again, plus that I now have limited space in my garage. So this car has to go. In the sales process I will still use it for smaller trips back and forth to the airport, so I might add some miles to it. I have set the reserve very low, taking year, condition and miles into consideration. Car can only be picked up locally. As to trades I might be interested in smaller car with low mileage, like a Porsche Boxter, Mecerdes SLK, Mercedes SL or some other cool, low-mileage car. Unique car in great condition. |

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
