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's new Passat Alltrack ready to scale the Alps

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Volvo may be stepping up its off-roading game with a greater variety of Cross Country models tumbling out the factory in Gothenburg, but the other (larger) European automaker whose name starts with the letters V-O-L is also broadening and updating its range of road-going automobiles equipped to handle a little soft-road duty. Aside from Audi's Allroad line, Skoda's Scout models and the new Seat Leon X-Perience, the Volkswagen brand itself has recently showcased Alltrack versions of the Golf, Multivan and of course the Passat. And now it's announced a new version of the latter for the European market. Based on the Euro-spec Passat Variant, the new VW Passat Alltrack follows a familiar formula: take a station wagon, equip it with all-wheel drive, jack up the suspension, add some lower body cladding and some new trim and – voila! Â– you've got a pseudo rough-roader on your hands. Set to debut in just a couple of weeks from now at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the new Passat Alltrack is visually distinguished by its new bumpers, underbody protection, beefed-up wheel arch moldings and a ride height increased by over an inch to the benefit of ground clearance as well as approach and departure angles. European buyers who like to leave the road every once in a while (or give the impression that they do) will be able to choose from a range of five engines: two burning gasoline with either 148 horsepower or 217, and three diesels available in 148-, 187- or 237-hp states of tune. The base TSI and TDI engines are mated to a six-speed manual, while the top three are hooked up to a six-speed DCT, but they all come with 4Motion all-wheel drive as standard. All but the base TSI model boast a towing capacity of 1,800 kg, enhanced by a Trailer Assist system that automatically lines the vehicle up to a trailer. It even comes equipped with an off-road mode that incorporates Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Assist to make any journey across the Alps a breeze. Wolfsburg / Geneva, 19 February 2015 World premiere of the new Passat Alltrack All-wheel drive all-rounder combines the best of on-road and off-road driving - Passat Alltrack: 100 per cent 4MOTION Â– from 150 PS to 240 PS - Superior off-road performance with off-road mode and all-wheel drive Ten important facts about the world premiere of the Passat Alltrack: 1. Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard. 2. Distinctive off-road look with new bumpers, underbody protection, door sill and wheel arch trims. 3.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.Â A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.
