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.

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

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.

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.
