2004 Vw Passat W8 4motion Sedan. Excellent Condition! on 2040-cars
Spring Grove, Illinois, United States
|
It is with a heavy heart that I am forced to sell my first W8. I purchased the vehicle from a husband and wife in Vermont back in 2010. The vehicle had ~50,000 miles on it at the time and the wife only drove the car a few miles back and forth to work every day. Her husband was a construction worker with extreme attention to detail in his house, cars, and yard. In the four years that have gone by since then, I have put almost another 50,000 miles on the vehicle and fell in love with everything about the W8 motor as I got to drive it more and more. It should be made clear that the only reason I am selling the vehicle is because I recently picked up and identical W8 with the manual transmission that I have been searching for since I realized how fantastic this car really is.
Since taking ownership of the vehicle it has always been garage kept (heated garage for the winters) and washed weekly. There is ZERO rust on the body and no check engine lights, strange noises, rattles, etc.. Oil changes have been done every 5,000 miles with Royal Purple 5w-40. Headlights are crystal clear and provide excellent visibility at night. The BBS rims were recently refinished through Alloy Wheel Repair Company and look good as new. New rotors and pads were installed less than 10,000 miles ago. All in all the vehicle has been maintained to the highest standards and it shows in how the vehicle looks and drives. It should be noted that this is Passat is no slouch either. Vw produced the all wheel drive Passat W8 from 2002-2004 and there car has a top speed of 175 mph! The W8 engine runs as smooth as silk and has great low end torque for being a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. (peak torque comes on at ~2750 rpms) If you've been on the lookout for a well kept W8 to get back into or experience for the first time, then I have to say this is the one. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions about the vehicle and I will be happy to answer them! If you would like to see more pictures of the vehicle I can email you the link to the photo bucket album or take more photos per request. |

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
