2000 VW Passat 2.8L V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. To view the video with a complete description of the car, listen to it run, etc: http://youtu.be/yagNxWvYXJA
Below is pretty much what I go over in the video, except you don't get to hear the car running, watch the windows go up and down, sunroof work, view my contact information, etc. I have tried to take as many pertinent pictures of the car as I could. If you have anything specific you want to see or need to know about please let me know. I did include several undercarriage pictures as my best friend has a lift. I used this car primarily to get my kids to and from school and their therapy appointments. I did drive it when I worked (competition staff) the 2013 Great Race (antique car rally) from Minnesota along the mighty Mississippi River to Mobile, Alabama. I'm selling it because in three weeks I am starting Nursing school and I don't have the time to continue preventive maintenance that still need to be done and also, I cannot get to places I need to go due to clearance issues. So, I have replaced it with a daily driving Jeep. I have the parts, just not the time. The car does Run & Drive Good. This car has 197,800 miles though that is likely to change as I still drive it at least every other day. It gets Great gas mileage, around 24-26 MPG. The interior is in Ok condition. Some of the leather is ripped or torn. Rear seat is really good behind the drivers seat, but has tears on the passenger side, carpet could use a cleaning in back, front seats have covers on them, glove box has been fixed three times. The way it is now is still functional, just not the prettiest. I have a black glove box I will include with the car. Features: A/C that will get you chilly Leather Seats Heated Seats in the front Sunroof Cruise Control 6 Disc CD Changer AM/FM Radio & Cassette Player Power Windows Power Locks Front cup holders Defrost for the front and the back glass Rear Sunshade Full Size Spare Tire There is an owners manual, however it is for a 99 that we picked up at a Pull A Part junkyard. Extras: Spare key (key will unlock the door and trunk, remote part we've never been successful programming it); 2nd Full Size Spare Tire (other is in the car already); Extra center cap. **IF the car is purchased through Buy It Now OR the price reaches $2400. I will include the Bentley Shop Manual ($100 value).** Preventive Maintenance Performed: Timing Belt, Water Pump & Thermostat (June 2013, w/documentation) Cam Seals Cam Tensioner Gaskets Cam Position Sensor Spark Plugs Motor Mounts & Snub Mount (Sept. 2012) Coil Pack (Nov. 2013) Power Steering Pump (Nov. 2013) Radiator (Nov. 2013) ABS Module (rebuilt Jan. 2013) A/C was completely rebuilt (Spring 2013) Breather hose & PCV valve (March 2014) Brakes (all four done just prior to my ownership in late 2012) Control Arm (drivers side) (May 2014) Flex pipe (drivers side) (Feb. 2013) CV axle (Passenger side) ( Feb. 2014) Windshield replaced by ABRA, Oct. 2013 after a trip to TX where an 18 wheeler kicked up metal debris cracking the windshield Cabin Air Filter & Air Filter last Spring Kumho Ecsta tires (put on June 2013) Windshield wipers (May 2014) Transmission Fluid (May 2014) * Old Fluid was still in great condition* Oil Changes were done every 3-4 months, depending my traveling. Every other change we rotated the tires, inspected them & the brakes. I would like to note that I was in a minor fender bender In October of last year. Everything has been fixed except the windshield fluid bottle & putting silicone beneath the ECM box. What needs to be done (Preventive Maintenance): Check Engine Light is ON: It is on ONLY because of the air pump not working. I HAVE one I just don't have the time to install it. The codes are P1423 & P1411. Windshield Fluid Light is ON: Bottle has not been installed. I HAVE one again, I just don't have the time. This does require the lines that were severed in the accident to be spliced. Some mornings when you crank the car, the cam chain rattles for a short time on the passenger side. I have the cam tensioner pads, valve cover gasket & the cam tensioner tool to do the job that I am including with the car. There is a slight oil leak, about six drops the size of quarters everyday that you drive it. ECM box needs to be taken out and silicon put on the bottom of it as it shifted a little bit causing it to leak when it rains. All the drain holes were cleaned out back in April. The car is Rust Free. Clearcoat is peeling in a few areas, primarily in front of the sunroof. I've really enjoyed having the car, it gets great gas mileage and will get up and go! This car has saved me several mornings when getting my teen daughter to school before the bell rings :) The Traction control works Great on this car. This past winter I got to experience it when the infamous weather that "paralyzed" Atlanta hit us as well. I watched cars slide in front of me and beside me, including a BMW that gave up, parked at a gas station. This car gracefully climbed up several hills allowing my kids and I to get home from their therapy appointments! What my kids and I will miss most about this car are the heated seats, the heater itself and the defrosters. Usually within 15 minutes of driving down the road you're ready to strip layers of clothing off because it gets nice and toasty warm. The defrosters are by far the best I had ever had. It doesn't take very long for the ice to melt off the back glass or the windshield. Imagine that your neighbor who started their vehicle before you are still scrapping their windshield as you're driving off! We have really enjoyed the car and hope that someone else will enjoy the car as much as we have. The car has a clear title and is ready to be yours! We can deliver the car within 100 miles It is located 30 minutes from Chattanooga, 2 hours from Atlanta and 3 hours from Nashville. A deposit of $250 (PayPal) is required within 72 hours of Auction End. If you need my contact information to ask any specific questions, please view the video and toward the end it will be listed. Or you may message me through Ebay. |

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.

VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.
