This is the perfect car for a Volkswagen enthusiast who wants to own a classic “sleeper.” The W8’s were only made for a few years, because the larger engine required a price point that competed too closely with Audi models. The interior was designed to keep up with the engine and has a luxurious feel.

From Edmunds.com:

"As the Passat's compact engine bay is unable to house a traditional V8, Volkswagen engineered a new W8. "W" refers to Volkswagen's new family of engines. The basic layout of the W8 is two narrow-angle four-valve V4 engines that share a common crankshaft and are configured at an angle of 72 degrees apart from each other. This layout could be described as a V-V arrangement, or a W. Displacing 4.0 liters and producing 270 ponies and 273 pound-feet of torque, the W8 is able to move the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.”

“The only outwardly signs that there are eight cylinders under the hood are badging and dual exhausts neatly tucked on either side of the rear fender… Inside, you'll find the high-quality soft-touch materials that we always rave about… the W8 comes with leather trim, lovely wood accents, heated and power front seats, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls, automatic climate control, a sunroof, rain-sensing wipers and a tilt-down passenger-side mirror that facilitates parallel parking.”

Current condition:

The car accelerates and handles great. No known problems with the drive train or overall function of the vehicle. That said, the car is for sale as is and there are some minor repairs you may wish to undertake. The AC is currently not functional without repair. The headlights are angled low and could be adjusted. Exterior of the car is in great condition, with a few dings and minor paint scratches (see pictures of bumpers). One of the alloy wheels is missing the small cap that goes over the wheel bolts, and there are some scratches on the wheels. A small plastic piece came loose from the lower part of the grill on the passenger side (see picture). It is also missing the plastic belly pan, which came loose from underneath the car (mechanic felt it was cosmetic and replacement not necessary). The leather interior is in excellent condition with minor wear. The faux-wood plastic coating on the gear shifter partially came loose and could be replaced (see picture). The cargo cover does not retract properly.

History highlights:

I purchased the vehicle used from a dealership back in 2005. Back in 2009 I went ahead with a significant engine repair replacing the Cam Shaft Adjusters. Replaced the battery this January 2014.

Regarding payment:

I am happy to accept a cashier’s check in person at public place in Massachusetts at which time I will be happy to sign over the title and provide you with the car keys/vehicle.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
