2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 4 Motion 92,111 Miles Very Good Condition on 2040-cars
This 2003 VW Passat W8 4 Motion is in very good condition. It only has 92,111 miles on it and has been well maintained, I've owned the car since April of 2011 and have the service records since I've owned it. It has all the standard equipment that the W8 Passat came with.
The body is in excellent condition, there are a couple of light scratches on the hood and the trunk lid, no rust and the color is Shadow Blue Metallic. The car has been in 2 accidents since I've owned it, a driveway scrape on the right front and rear doors they were repaired and repainted, and a front end damage (replaced bumper, grill, left headlight assembly), the body work was performed by Rife's Auto Body (one of the best body shops in central Ohio). The interior is in very good condition, the drivers seat and front passenger seat have the standard wear for an 11 year old car. Right rear seat has a small burn on it about a 1/4 of an inch. No rips or tears anywhere. There is a chip of wood missing on the center console(see photo). The engine light comes on some times (don't know what it is, I've had it checked several times), the hood support rod needs to be replaced (about $35.00), sunroof sticks, missing antenna, and the steering wheel controls for the radio are disabled due to the upgraded stereo. Those are the problems, everything else works great. The mufflers are custom and you get the original mufflers, the wheels are 18" X 8" with new tires (around 1500 miles on them), I also have the original OEM BBS upgraded wheels (1 is cracked but might be repairable). Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
