2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 4 Motion 92,111 Miles Very Good Condition on 2040-cars
Columbus, Ohio, United States
|
This 2003 VW Passat W8 4 Motion is in very good condition. It only has 92,111 miles on it and has been well maintained, I've owned the car since April of 2011 and have the service records since I've owned it. It has all the standard equipment that the W8 Passat came with.
The body is in excellent condition, there are a couple of light scratches on the hood and the trunk lid, no rust and the color is Indigo Blue Pearl. The car has been in 2 accidents since I've owned it, a driveway scrape on the right front and rear doors they were repaired and repainted, and a front end damage (replaced bumper, grill, left headlight assembly), the body work was performed by Rife's Auto Body (one of the best body shops in central Ohio). The interior is in very good condition, the drivers seat and front passenger seat have the standard wear for an 11 year old car. Right rear seat has a small burn on it about a 1/4 of an inch. No rips or tears anywhere. There is a chip of wood missing on the center console(see photo). The engine light comes on some times (don't know what it is, I've had it checked several times), the hood support rod needs to be replaced (about $35.00), sunroof sticks, missing antenna, and the steering wheel controls for the radio are disabled due to the upgraded stereo. Those are the problems, everything else works great. The mufflers are custom and you get the original mufflers, the wheels are 18" X 8" with new tires (around 1500 miles on them), I also have the original OEM BBS upgraded wheels (1 is cracked but might be repairable). The car is prewired for a subwoofer in the trunk. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
