YOUR HIGHEST BID WILL GET YOU THE VEHICLE! If you wanted a Passat wagon for very cheap, now is your opportunity. This 2001 Volkswagen Passat GLS V6 is now available for NO RESERVE. The wagon is perfect for anyone that needs cargo room, passenger room, and wants good fuel economy. You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other anymore! Please read the full description.

INTERIOR: The cloth seats are in good shape with no rips or tares. The sunroof works perfectly and the heat blows hot. The heated seats are very effective and feel great. The radio is showing signs of no power so it will not come on. The driver master switch is missing; a new or used one will plug right up and work just fine, the other windows work. There are no offensive odors coming from the interior. The unique wood grain is still in great shape. The fabric on the door panels is not adhering on the door properly. A simple labor charge by a professional can glue this right back together. The original window sticker is still with the vehicle along with the owner’s manual. This is usually a good sign.

EXTERIOR: The body is straight and there isn’t any rotting from any rust. There are some close ups on the minor imperfections below. Other than a few bumps and dings, the body is still presentable. The tires are in good shape with a lot of tread left, and I haven’t noticed any slow leaks. These will not need replacing anytime soon.

MOTOR/HANDLING: I drove this wagon for 30 minutes without any issues. The Passat was difficult to jump start after is sat for a couple weeks. After the car warmed up, it stayed idling with no issues. It was hard to see but there was some very light smoke coming from the engine bay. This didn’t have a strong odor, but it went away after some time and then came back. When the car is warmed up it ceases to stall, rpms are steady, and it starts accepting a charge from the alternator. Putting it into gear has a slight jerk to it sometimes and the acceleration is not all that responsive at very low RPM’s. After about 2k rpm’s the car acts normal. The acceleration is fine, the transmission shifts very smooth and when it should. The brakes are quiet and are very effective. The powered steering is smooth and quiet, same with the suspension.

Currently the brake warning light, abs, and check engine light are on. The brake light will flash. We do not know what the issues are and we are willing to let the car go to anyone who has the patience or time. This is not far from being a great car, a little bit of time and this could be a great deal to the right person. If you are interested in purchasing it, feel free to message me so we can create a deal. Please remember, I am not a mechanic. Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well." 

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
