2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8, 140k Miles, 19' Bentley Wheels, Fully Loaded on 2040-cars
Sunnyvale, California, United States
Amazing car and
performance with this 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton - Black I am the 2nd owner of the Phaeton, and have taken good care of it for the last 6 years. It is a late MY 2004, 5 seater, with rear climate control and massage seats. It has 140,000 miles. Here is what it has in extras: - Added in the Stage 1 chip software to boost HP to 356HP and removed the limiter 3 years ago. I have documentation & videos! - Facelifted OEM front that added 2007 chrome bits to the foglights (not available in other US cars) - Has extra OEM wooden handles and wooden covers for the cupholders - 19" OEM Bentleys from a 2005 Bentley Flying Spur - 2010 full set of navigation discs - BMW - Everything works inside - all buttons. Work already done this year: - Thermostat, Timing Belt and Starter were all done at dealership at 135K miles (1st timing belt was done at 80K miles) - New Kessy unit - New Brake Pads - Fresh Auxiliary Battery Needs attention later: - Small rip on the leather seat (front passenger seat) right at the very edge, so its very fixable - quoted $120 - Will need new tires and fresh control arms (optional). - A small scratch at the very bottom of the passenger side front fender and a tiny one in front bumper - will need retouching. No dings. - The wheels still look amazing, if you can, a small refinish would make you smile. Car has always been taken care at dealer or small issues at specialized VW independent places. This is a perfect way to get started on a Phaeton. Price is very reasonable. I already have purchased another car, so I'd like to sell my Phaeton and I'm not in a rush. Please ping me and let me know your Q's. Reserve is very reasonable. If you use BUY IT NOW - Will get it detailed again for you prior to purchase.
Selling because I've
already purchased other vehicle and have very limited parking. Payment via Paypal and I require an immediate deposit of $500 same day as auction ends. (Refundable after 10 days if not buying car) Full payment within 3 days of auction end. NO EXCEPTIONS. Will help drive to transport company. Motivated to sell but not in a rush.
You can see the car in Milpitas, San Jose or Sunnyvale if you are a local of
the Bay Area. |

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche
Fri, Feb 27 2015Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award
Thu, Dec 22 2016NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry."

So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon.

The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.
