2002 Volkswagen Passat Glx - No Reserve - Great Shape - One Owner - Every Option on 2040-cars
Rome, New York, United States
Up for sale is my 2002 VW Passat GLX V6 with 160k miles on it. Car has had one owner and has been serviced by VW since new.
Pennsylvania car, no rust whatsoever. Runs excellent. Shifts flawlessly. No check engine lights or anything like that. Steering is tight, suspension has no clunks or vibration, handles like a new Passat. Every possible option including heated leather, CD, Monsoon sound system, sunroof, and even power mirrors that fold in automatically when you park. Has all original keys and manuals. Had the timing and waterpump done, along with a transmission flush at 105k at the VW dealer in PA. Interior is excellent as seen in the pictures. Seats have little to no wear, and appears as if no one ever sat in the backseat. Exterior is great for the year/mileage. Has dents and dings, scratches, but no rust and as you can see in the pictures for what it is it looks great. I just had the car detailed including a compound of the paint, leather conditioned, they even 'restored' the headlights which was an extra $40. The car has a brand new drivers window regulator ($110) and battery ($140) this past week alone. If I didn't just buy a new truck and was going to keep this car, I would have two things done: -One was recommended by VW and is a Valve Cover Gasket at the next oil change, which has been done before but apparently it's a common maintenance item for VW's. I was quoted $130 from a local shop. -The other is to reprogram what's called the P71 flap, which controls the heat/A/C mixture in the glovebox. The A/C has been working intermittently since the battery was replaced, and I was told the P71 flap motor has to be re-programmed by Volkswagen to the tune of $36. Apparently because the battery was dead for more than 48 hours, it lost it's default setting and needs to be flashed. Again I'm being as picky as possible to give a detailed description to out of state buyers who can't come to look at the car before bidding. Books for over $4,300 in good shape. The car is located in Rome, NY and I can be reached on my cell anytime for questions at (315) 464-0636. $500 Non-refundable deposit due within 48hrs of auction end, full payment due within 5 days. Bid with confidence as I have 100% feedback. Please call with any questions or shipping quotes. Thanks and good luck bidding. |

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery
Tue, Apr 1 2014When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
