Year:2005 Mileage:171000
Location:

Saint-Edouard-de-Napierville, Quebec, Canada

Saint-Edouard-de-Napierville, Quebec, Canada

Up for sale here we have a Passat TDI 2005, 2.0L Direct Injection Diesel with 5 speed automatic transmission. It currently has 171000 miles or 273000km. Mechanically there is nothing wrong with the car, everything functions as intended with no exceptions including the A/C. I personally replaced the Timing belt, all idlers and water pump on the car so it is good for another 60k miles. Oil change has been done with proper 5w40 Synthetic oil from Germany. The alternator is very recent, one of the CV axles as well. The brakes have more than 80% life left, tires are also ok for another year or so. The transmission had also some issues which were corrected, i had the valve body rebuilt (bill can be provided ~800$) and I replaced the B clutch assembly (reverse gear) which is prone to failure. The transmission has also been cleaned up internally and new oil and filter put in. I did most of the repairs myself, I do all maintenance on my personal cars with meticulous care and attention to detail. The Passat also comes with a small trailer hitch and wiring already installed.

The interior is clean no stains, or tears in the leather, it is a non-smoker car, carpets are also very clean.

The only few imperfections on the car are:
-Small bubbled paint spot on driver's side door under trim
-Piece of trim missing on rear left door and signs of bubbled paint under trim
-Tiny spot of bubbled paint on rear left fender arch
-Front bumper has a parking lot scratch
-Few tiny stone chip locations on top of windscreen, they have been touched up with same color paint to prevent rust.


Note: These cars carry a 12 year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, it is highly likely the rust issues will be covered. If you want more information please contact your local VW dealer.

The winning bidder also will get a set of summer brand new original Schwaben carpets and the already in car Monster type winter mats. I will also include a set of winter tires made by Nokian in Finland (75% life left), mounted on 15" steel rims. 

The car is located in Quebec, Canada at very close proximity to the Champlain NY border.
It can be exported, the same car was sold in the USA as well, but as usual please check with local DMV and US Customs what this involves.

If you are looking for a very comfortable, quiet, large and ECONOMIC car then look no further as there is no car that will compare with the fuel economy of TDI Diesels. Also rest assured that with proper maintenance these cars do not lose their value as compared to their gasoline counterparts.

I have a local listing for this car as well, and reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

If you have any questions please ask before bidding. Serious bidders only.

Volkswagen completes design work on new EV platform

Tue, Jan 10 2017

Volkswagen has completed the design work for its modular, MEB platform that's geared specifically for electric-vehicle production, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments Volkswagen development head Frank Welsch made at CES in Las Vegas last week. Additionally, VW's Skoda and Seat divisions may use that platform for their own plug-in vehicle models. VW's Audi division is also considering employing the platform, though adoption by Volkswagen's Porsche unit is unlikely. VW expects to start selling its first model specifically designed as an EV (i.e., not converted from existing conventional models such as the Golf and Up!) by 2020. Welsch added that the MEB platform may be used as a base for updated electrified versions of Golf, Tiguan, and Passat. Meanwhile, Skoda will debut as many as five plug-in models by 2025. Europe's largest automaker is looking to further distance itself from the 2015 scandal that involved software that cheats diesel-emissions testing efforts and has cost the company more than $15 billion in US settlements alone. All told, VW and its divisions expect to debut as many as 30 plug-in vehicle models within the next decade. Volkswagen unveiled its I.D. concept vehicle, which is based on the MEB platform and looks somewhat like the BMW i3 electric-vehicle model, at last year's Paris Motor Show. VW said at the time that the vehicle could go as far as 373 miles on a single charge. Additionally, VW will show off an electric SUV concept model at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, and is unveiling a microbus version of the I.D. concept at the Detroit Auto Show this month.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
