2005 VW Touareg Premium Package II V6 Nav/DVD/Sat Radio

 

Up for bid is my wife’s 2005 Touareg fully loaded with 156,381 miles. We bought it used 2 years ago when my wife wanted a larger vehicle. We do not smoke and no pets and have been in vehicle since we have owned it. We are getting ready to move in April and need another vehicle that gets better gas mileage similar to our TDI or close. The Reserve is set low at the trade in offer we recently received. Please note the vehicle will have a bit higher mileage than listed, I do drive it daily to work at about 16 miles round trip, other than work, we do not plan on driving any significant distance except if the winning bidder wants us to meet them at the airport. If the vehicle does not sell before our move, we will move with the vehicle and trade it in at our new location. The vehicle runs good and does have typical signs of wear for a vehicle this old and high mileage, however does have some issues listed below and pictured, please note before bidding.

 

*** Please note bid winner MUST arrange for pick up of vehicle “prior” to April 10th Vehicle is for local pick up here in Kevil, KY or arrangements can be made for  pick up if you fly into local airport Paducah, KY(PAH) or Nashville, TN (BNA)***

 

KNOWN ISSUES – Please read before bidding and note pictures

 

  • Intermittent Electrical problem – In the past 2 years we have had the car not start after sitting for a week, this happened 2 times in the 2 year period. . The battery was drained and the car troubleshot with no “smoking gun” or apparent problem found. The battery has been replaced. The car does have a “Parrot” aftermarket Bluetooth system installed that does not work, has not worked since we owned the vehicle and has been suspect to the problem, all though we could not get it to reoccur, even leaving it with the mechanic for a week to see if we could get the condition to repeat.

 

  • Emissions light is on as of a week ago, my local mechanic troubleshot and believes it to be a solenoid that is stuck associated with the charcoal canister in the emissions system. The location of this is behind the engine and will require a bit of labor to get to and further troubleshoot / repair. He estimated around $600 in parts and labor. Since we are looking at other vehicles and relocating shortly, we do not want to spend that kind of money on repairs. He stated that this should only affect the emissions and therefor, if you are in a State that requires Emissions Testing, it probably will not pass inspection and will require repair, otherwise the repair could wait.

 

  • Airbag Fault light is on – This has happened twice since we owned the vehicle and happened when we hit a good size pot hole. Mechanic did not find a lose connection or anything else with the system and the light cleared when reset. Just recently came back on.

 

  • Driver’s Head Rest has wear – appears previous owner may have been wearing a hair clip that wore a bit into the head rest.

 

  • Stain on speaker cover – Please note picture .

 

  • Privacy screen on rear passenger drivers side has small tear – see picture

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.
