Up for sale is my 2002 VW Passat GLX V6 with 160k miles on it. Car has had one owner and has been serviced by VW since new.

Pennsylvania car, no rust whatsoever. Runs excellent. Shifts flawlessly. No check engine lights or anything like that. Steering is tight, suspension has no clunks or vibration, handles like a new Passat. Every possible option including heated leather, CD, Monsoon sound system, sunroof, and even power mirrors that fold in automatically when you park. Has all original keys and manuals. Had the timing and waterpump done, along with a transmission flush at 105k at the VW dealer in PA. Interior is excellent as seen in the pictures. Seats have little to no wear, and appears as if no one ever sat in the backseat. Exterior is great for the year/mileage. Has dents and dings, scratches, but no rust and as you can see in the pictures for what it is it looks great. I just had the car detailed including a compound of the paint, leather conditioned, they even 'restored' the headlights which was an extra $40. The car has a brand new drivers window regulator ($110) and battery ($140) this past week alone.

If I didn't just buy a new truck and was going to keep this car, I would have two things done:

-One was recommended by VW and is a Valve Cover Gasket at the next oil change, which has been done before but apparently it's a common maintenance item for VW's. I was quoted $130 from a local shop.

-The other is to reprogram what's called the P71 flap, which controls the heat/A/C mixture in the glovebox. The A/C has been working intermittently since the battery was replaced, and I was told the P71 flap motor has to be re-programmed by Volkswagen to the tune of $36. Apparently because the battery was dead for more than 48 hours, it lost it's default setting and needs to be flashed.

Again I'm being as picky as possible to give a detailed description to out of state buyers who can't come to look at the car before bidding. Books for over $4,300 in good shape. The car is located in Rome, NY and I can be reached on my cell anytime for questions at (315) 464-0636.

$500 Non-refundable deposit due within 48hrs of auction end, full payment due within 5 days. Bid with confidence as I have 100% feedback. Please call with any questions or shipping quotes. Thanks and good luck bidding.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

Volkswagen promises more aggressive design for sedans, crossovers

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Every one of our Volkswagen Jetta and Passat reviews is guaranteed to include this word in the comments, aimed at its exterior design: "Boring." The brand says that's all about to change, telling a group of journalists during a tour of its design studio in Wolfsburg that designs will be more market specific; as Automotive News put it, that means "more aggressive" designs for the US that "will bare their teeth and flex their muscles," since the solid-yet-unoffensive look hasn't got VW past its two-percent market share here. Yes, we've heard this before from the Volkswagen Group - Audi has been promising to pump up the volume on its designs for years now, we're still waiting to hear that music. But VW brand head designer Klaus Bischoff says that the look of the coming midsize crossover that will come in around the size of the Audi Q7 "has to be bold. It has to be a statement," and the results of US focus groups have already dictated design changes to the original idea. AN said it takes cues from the Cross Coupe GTE, with a notched grille, sculpted hood, and deep character lines along the flanks. It sounds like baby steps for other models, though. The Passat gets a brand new design forward of the A-pillar, and new taillights. The new Tiguan has a shorter front overhang and a longer rear overhang, rounded wheel arches, and gets 2.2 inches longer. There'll be a long-wheelbase version of the Tiguan that grows by eight inches, which should give it livable room for four passengers in front and back. Beneath that will be a Golf-based crossover to compete in the compact segment with the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3.
