You've found an 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI GLS Station Wagon that has lived it's one owner life in south Florida. The original owner is a VW guy, previous cars and the replacements to this were VW's. He was lucky enough to have lived near a dealership that is quite familiar with not only TDI's but Passat TDI's. When the engine started to show signs of a worn balance shaft chain they new just what to do. They replaced it with the factory fix for the weak link of these cars, a gear driven drive system. For those who don't know bad things can happen if this isn't done, don't buy a 04-05 Passat that has not had this addressed without budgeting around $3000.00 for repairs. Now that this has been done it is ready to be driven. These are one of VW's best driving cars in my opinion and the only years (04 & 05) you can get a TDI wagon without going back to a 96 or 97. These are actually a German built VW unlike most and yes, it does make a difference in quality and workmanship. The timing belt, water pump service and gear'ed balance shaft were all done at 83k miles so that should give you roughly 40k to 50k before needed. The reflex silver paint shows nicely and the body is in very good condition and looks to be all original, I would say it is well above average condition for an 2005. Inside the gray interior is clean and looks very presentable although the previous owner used his wagon as it was designed to be used. By this I mean he did haul things in it so the rear compartment does have minor scuff marks from sliding cargo in and out. The drivers compartment does show minor wear but nothing more than anyone would expect on a used car. The only flaw I would think to mention would be there is the smell of what I believe to be hay if the car sits for a couple of days with the windows up and then you turn on the A/C when starting. To me it's much less noticeable than a smokers car and the smell does go away shortly after driving. These cars are hard to find partly because they only imported so few of them and partly because they are Bio diesel friendly. The reason I enjoy the B5.5 series Passat's is that they are actually fun to drive, the 2.0l turbo diesel makes great power and is actually quick which in turn makes them great on the open road. There is no comparison to a jetta due to the larger size and much better ride. Many people report low 40MPG on the road and high 20's to low 30's in town. Bottom line, these are great cars and this is a nice example although not perfect it's priced right.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
