2013 Vw Passat Se Tdi Diesel Loaded Navigation Media Leather Sunroof on 2040-cars

Hello!  Up for sale is my 2013 VW Passat SE TDI.  I am the original owner and purchased it in January of 2013 as my primary driver.  I selected the Passat TDI based upon previous experience with a Jetta TDI I owned.  The build quality and fuel efficiency of the TDI models is legendary.  In this Passat, I have seen Hwy mileage as high as 46mpg and a minimum of 35mpg it heavy stop and go city driving.  I average about 700 miles per tank.  Even with the higher price of diesel over gasoline, you will see a lower cost per mile than the Accord, Maxima, Camry, or any other car in its class.  The 2 liter Engine provides 140hp and 236 lbs-ft of torque, which results in a surprisingly quick ride.  You will have no trouble passing traffic when needed.  The added option of the 18” wheels and the 6 speed DSG transmission make for a sporty, well handling package.  I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway in last fall and was very surprised by the Passat’s ability to carve the curves.  It offers a driving experience that none of its competitors can match.

It currently has 25,111 miles on it and has only ever been serviced by the dealer I purchased it from, Owens Murphy VW in Little Rock.  The next service, due at 30,000 miles, is included with the car.  It has been garage kept, and regularly detailed.  There are no major defects, only the two scratches that are shown in the pictures.  The one on the passenger door happened when my mountain bike fell over in the garage, and the one under the left headlight occurred when a piece of wood fell off the back of an 18 wheeler and bounced off the roadway.  The car has never been involved in an accident in any capacity and is in excellent condition aside from the aforementioned blemishes.  It was last detailed a few months ago and has been in the garage since then, as I have been driving another vehicle.  I drive it at least once a week to keep the battery charged and ready to go.  I have decided to sell it for two reasons.  I am working on getting back down to one vehicle before my next job move, and I got a Siberian Husky and refuse to let her ride in it for fear of damaging the interior.  The car just does not suit my life anymore. 

The windows were tinted by Premier Tints with their top level Ceramic tint.  It has 15% on the rear window, 25% on the side windows, and 50% on the front window.  I always have my cars tinted all the way around as it makes the biggest difference for driver comfort and heat control.  This tint job was a $390 addition to the car and is worth the money.

The factory options over the standard SE trim level includes:

  • ·         18” alloy wheels with all-season tires
  • ·         V-Tex Leatherette seats
  • ·         Sirius XM satellite radio
  • ·         Bluetooth input
  • ·         Aux input
  • ·         Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod input/control
  • ·         Power tilt & Sliding Sunroof w/Sun-screen
  • ·         Radio Navigation system RNS-315 w/color touchscreen
The car is located in the Little Rock area, and is available for viewing if you wish.  Please give me some notice and I will do my best to accommodate your time line.  I have it financed, so the title can only be delivered after making payoff and clearing the loan.  Buyer is responsible for pick up, but I will help with reasonable circumstances.  Please do not hesitate to send questions and offers my way at Five Zero One, Seven Seven Two, Six One Zero Nine.

Thank you for your time.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.

VW recalls 220,000 Atlases, Atlas Cross Sports for airbag defect [Updated]

Thu, Mar 31 2022

[Update: Audi of America has confirmed that no U.S. models are among the recall population for plug-in hybrid fire issue.] Volkswagen has issued yet another recall for its Atlas SUV, this time for side airbags that may not deploy correctly in an accident due to a problematic connection in one of the vehicle's wiring harnesses. The campaign covers 222,892 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models built for the 2019-2023 model years.  The issue stems from a connection with the wiring harness that runs from the A-pillar into the door. VW says that harnesses produced by one of its suppliers were not built with additional measures to prevent movement at the connection point. Small movements can cause abrasion of the metal contacts which could lead to a whole host of electronic misadventures, including the potential for airbag deployment to be delayed in a crash.  "Micro-movement of the wire harness (terminal A-Pillar to front door) can result in damage to the wire terminal surface. Damage to the surface can [result] in fretting corrosion which may cause sporadic interruption in the electrical connection to the components of the front door," VW said in its defect notice. "The airbag warning light may illuminate if a malfunction is detected. Other symptoms of a sporadic interruption of the affected electrical connection can be: inadvertent rolling down windows, inadvertent park brake engagement at low speeds (below approx. 3km/h or 1.8mph), warning regarding faulty door sensor," VW said.  Not every model built within the range defined above is subject to the recall; terminals from other suppliers were manufactured with the necessary safeguards in place. If you own a 2019-2023 Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport, keep your eyes peeled for a notification from VW regarding the campaign, likely some time in early-mid May.  PHEV problems Across the Atlantic, the VW Group mothership confirmed that it will recall more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid models worldwide to address a fire risk. The recall was launched in response to 16 reported incidents of fires stemming from insufficient insulation of the PHEV battery pack that allows the engine cover to make contact if it is not completely secure. If that happens, the heat from the battery can ignite the engine cover. The recall will cover PHEVs build by VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda, Reuters reports, including the VW Passat, Golf, Tiguan and Arteon — plug-in variants of which are not sold in the United States.
