2003 VW Passat W8 wagon with 4-motion all-wheel drive. Blue exterior with grey leather interior. 18" VW Phaeton wheels with top of the line 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires with 1/2 -3/4 tread remaining.
Wife has new vehicle so the Passat has to go. Currently has around 118k miles on the ODO and runs great. Air conditioning blows cold and there are no mechanical issues with the car what so ever. I have recently, within the last several thousand miles had the ignition coils replaced (VW recall) and installed all new spark plugs. At around that same time I had the valve cover gaskets replaced and spark plug tube seals done due to a common issue of them leaking into the coil chamber. The serpentine belt was replaced (fun job) and the front torque strut mount upgraded to much better designed poly bushing approximately 4k miles ago. I replaced the brittle plastic pcv hoses with rubber vacuum lines. The headliner was starting to sag above the rear cargo area and that has been recovered in VW specific material within the last 6 months. Front brake pads replaced several thousand miles ago and have purchased the rear pads just have not found time to replace. Details on the car: This Passat was purchased around 5 years ago as a Certified VW with around 65,000 miles on the ODO from a VW dealer in Austin, Texas. I went through the research to find a Blue W8 wagon that had the VW recommended Cam Tensioners replaced and found this one had just been certified and came with a 2 year/24,000k mile extended warranty being that it was being sold through VW's certified program. The engine had been pulled and the cam tensioners replaced right before being put on their lot. I paid top dollar at that time because it was exactly what I was looking for even though it was going to be my wife's car. This sweet ride drives as good as it looks and drives like a dream due to the all-wheel drive and sure footedness on the road. Powered by a 4.0L 8 cylinder engine the W8 has 32 Valves with variable valve timing and produces 273 ft-lbs. of torque @ 2750 rpm and 270 hp @ 6000 rpm. The 4-motion and the German construction make this car drive very solid and corners as if it were on rails. Everything works on the car and I would list the overall condition as very good. The Bad: Roof needs to be painted as the clear coat has peeled. The rest of the car paint is in very good shape and looks great for a 10+ year old car. I have received a few quotes of around $500 to have this done from local auto body shops. Rear drivers side tail light has a crack in it. I am willing to listen to offers but not willing to give away. The car is also being listed locally |

Chief designer Walter de Silva out at Volkswagen
Fri, Nov 6 2015After decades of penning beautiful machines, Volkswagen Group design boss Walter de Silva will retire at the end of November but will still hold an advisory role. He has led the styling for the automotive giant's brands since 2007. The company's statement didn't announce a successor for him. De Silva began his design career at Fiat in 1972 and led styling at Alfa Romeo from 1986 to 1998. He first joined VW Group with Seat but made a big splash at Audi in 2002. His work there included the sixth-generation A6, A5, and the fantastic R8. Later, he created a great take on the classic Leica M9 camera, too. VW praised de Silva's creation of a design culture that spanned its division but still allowed for creativity within each one. "Walter de Silva epitomizes creativity and the Italian sense of beauty and style on the one hand and thoroughness, a systematic approach and discipline on the other," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. De Silva's retirement could bring a major change in the way VW Group organizes its studios, according to Automotive News. The automaker reportedly wants to cut its annual styling budget and might not seek a replacement for him. Walter Maria de Silva takes retirement Head of Group Design established common design culture across all brands while retaining creative autonomy of each individual brand Walter Maria de Silva Walter Maria de Silva Walter Maria de Silva (64), Head of Group Design, is retiring with effect from the end of November. De Silva assumed design responsibility for all passenger car brands within the Volkswagen Group in February 2007. Walter de Silva will continue his links with the Group in an advisory capacity. Walter Maria de Silva was born in Lecco (Italy) on February 27, 1951 and joined the Volkswagen Group 17 years ago when he became Head of the SEAT Design Centre in 1998. He was put in charge of the design of the Audi brand group, including the brands Audi, Lamborghini and SEAT, in 2002. His new design language with Audi was epitomised by the 6th generation of the Audi A6 and Audi A5 Coupe. He was appointed Head of Group Design at Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft in 2007. Walter de Silva saw the main focus of his work as design chief in establishing and nurturing a common design culture across all brands, which nevertheless allows each brand to retain a high degree of creative autonomy.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
