2003 Passat W8 Wagon Awd 4-motion 5spd Tiptronic Auto on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
|
2003 VW Passat W8 wagon with 4-motion all-wheel drive. Blue exterior with grey leather interior. 18" VW Phaeton wheels with top of the line 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires with 1/2 -3/4 tread remaining.
Wife has new vehicle so the Passat has to go. Currently has around 118k miles on the ODO and runs great. Air conditioning blows cold and there are no mechanical issues with the car what so ever. I have recently, within the last several thousand miles had the ignition coils replaced (VW recall) and installed all new spark plugs. At around that same time I had the valve cover gaskets replaced and spark plug tube seals done due to a common issue of them leaking into the coil chamber. The serpentine belt was replaced (fun job) and the front torque strut mount upgraded to much better designed poly bushing approximately 4k miles ago. I replaced the brittle plastic pcv hoses with rubber vacuum lines. The headliner was starting to sag above the rear cargo area and that has been recovered in VW specific material within the last 6 months. Front brake pads replaced several thousand miles ago and have purchased the rear pads just have not found time to replace. Details on the car: This Passat was purchased around 5 years ago as a Certified VW with around 65,000 miles on the ODO from a VW dealer in Austin, Texas. I went through the research to find a Blue W8 wagon that had the VW recommended Cam Tensioners replaced and found this one had just been certified and came with a 2 year/24,000k mile extended warranty being that it was being sold through VW's certified program. The engine had been pulled and the cam tensioners replaced right before being put on their lot. I paid top dollar at that time because it was exactly what I was looking for even though it was going to be my wife's car. This sweet ride drives as good as it looks and drives like a dream due to the all-wheel drive and sure footedness on the road. Powered by a 4.0L 8 cylinder engine the W8 has 32 Valves with variable valve timing and produces 273 ft-lbs. of torque @ 2750 rpm and 270 hp @ 6000 rpm. The 4-motion and the German construction make this car drive very solid and corners as if it were on rails. Everything works on the car and I would list the overall condition as very good. The Bad: Roof needs to be painted as the clear coat has peeled. The rest of the car paint is in very good shape and looks great for a 10+ year old car. I have received a few quotes of around $500 to have this done from local auto body shops. Rear drivers side tail light has a crack in it. I am willing to listen to offers but not willing to give away. The car is also being listed locally |

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
