Night Blue Metallic Automatic 2.5 Se Passat With Moonroof, Alloy Wheels, Leather on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
I am a wholesale dealer and owner of an auto body shop in Arizona, who has been selling to dealers only since 2001. I visit many auctions and buy cars and trucks to customize or repair and resell them back to retail dealers. My company almost never offers cars or trucks to the public ( four in 13 yrs) but I very rarely deal in salvage title vehicles. However, I ran across this Passat at the auction in Las Vegas, Hertz had this car for sale and after inspecting it, I was amazed that they salvaged this title. But Hertz, unlike the other rental companies is known to do this often. The vehicle took a hit on the front passenger side and triggered the airbag system. Being in the auto repair business, I am aware that sometimes even if it is not a bad accident, all it has to do is trigger the sensor. Knowing the car needed very little in regards of the fix, I purchased it and brought it back to my shop. I replaced the airbags with factory OEM ones, and fixed the bodywork. After finishing the car, I liked it so much I have made it my daily driver back and forth to my shop. (23 miles across Phoenix each way) therefore the miles will go up a few hundred by the end of the auction.
This Passat is loaded with options and looks and drives like brand new. After driving it to the shop and back a few times, I decided that this car would be perfect for someone wanting to get a practically new car for a lot less . So I am offering this one to the public instead of me passing it on to an independent dealer. I welcome any questions and inspections on this unit. Just message me on ebay, and I will get back to you. I also deal with shipping companies throughout the country so shipping ( at my cost) will not be a problem. If the winner bidder is from Arizona, sales tax has to be added, but being that I never sale to the public- I'm not going to charge a document fee. Thanks for looking and happy bidding, but please do not bid if you do not have the funds to pay for it. Also I reserve the right to end the auction before the ending time if sold locally. |

Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

The downtown line will run 3.8 miles between Zoologischer Garten Station and Sudkreuz. The transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will use four of the Solaris e-buses for the test, each about 39 feet long. The buses use a 200-kilowatt inductive charging system at the ends of the line to recharge in just a few minutes. The government-funded test runs through 2016, but BVG pans to use the electric buses beyond that timeline. Read more at Green Car Congress. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is worried that the Obama administration will use ethanol requirements to influence a Senate race in Iowa. In the midst of a close race against Republican Joni Ernst, Representative Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate, is urging Obama to reject a cut in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The November election approaches, meanwhile the EPA continues to delay issuing an ethanol requirement for the year, with or without its proposed 16-percent reduction. Rejecting the cut could help get farmers and ethanol producers on the side of Braley. "We are very concerned that the signals we are seeing from the administration is that the political calculations are outweighing sound fuels policy," says API's Bob Greco. Read more at Businessweek. Project Ain't Fuelin' aims to fix up old cars to return them to original fuel economy, and then surpass it. Episode 3 of Valvoline's Under The Hood video series features Daniel Gray of MPGomatic, who is doing just that to a 1999 Honda Civic HX Coupe. He aims to get 50 mpg out of the old Civic by tuning it up, tinkering with the aerodynamics, switching to more efficient tires and other modifications.
