Amazing car and performance with this 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton - Black

Perfect sedan, adult driven, V8 engine tuned to 360HP, Black, Bentley OEM wheels (19"), 140,000 well taken care miles. Clean title, Leather seats, humongous trunk, Amazing sound system, front and rear massage chairs and front and rear climate controls. The most amazing car VW has ever built. Has been rock solid for me. Perfect for a large family. The back seat space will fit anything! All buttons working, windows, etc...

Small cosmetic issues in passenger seat (small rip, fixable) and a small scratch in passenger fender and bumper. (very small). Annoying TPMS, that's it. No dings,  No leaks, still looks sharp. 

Get the performance of an Audi RS6 with the size of an Audi A8L or Audi RS6 and the Luxury and feel of a Bentley Flying Spur. Better than a BMW 7 Series or Mercedes S class. 

I am the 2nd owner of the Phaeton, and have taken good care of it for the last 6 years. It is a late MY 2004, 5 seater, with rear climate control and massage seats. It has 140,000 miles. Here is what it has in extras:

- Added in the Stage 1 chip software to boost HP to 356HP and removed the limiter 3 years ago. I have documentation & videos! 

- Facelifted OEM front that added 2007 chrome bits to the foglights (not available in other US cars)

- Has extra OEM wooden handles and wooden covers for the cupholders

- 19" OEM Bentleys from a 2005 Bentley Flying Spur

- 2010 full set of navigation discs - BMW

- Everything works inside - all buttons.


Work already done this year:

- Thermostat, Timing Belt and Starter were all done at dealership at 135K miles (1st timing belt was done at 80K miles)

- New Kessy unit 

- New Brake Pads

- Fresh Auxiliary Battery


Needs attention later:

- Small rip on the leather seat (front passenger seat) right at the very edge, so its very fixable - quoted $120

- Will need new tires and fresh control arms (optional). 

- A small scratch at the very bottom of the passenger side front fender and a tiny one in front bumper - will need retouching. No dings.

- The wheels still look amazing, if you can, a small refinish would make you smile. 

Car has always been taken care at dealer or small issues at specialized VW independent places. 

This is a perfect way to get started on a Phaeton. Price is very reasonable. I already have purchased another car, so I'd like to sell my Phaeton and I'm not in a rush. Please ping me and let me know your Q's. Reserve is very reasonable.   If you use BUY IT NOW - Will get it detailed again for you prior to purchase. 

Selling because I've already purchased other vehicle and have very limited parking. 

Have all service records from VW Dealership. Major services all done this Summer already (yes, timing belt, brakes, starter, fresh battery) and have owned this car as the 2nd owner for the last 5 years. 

Buy it now with a very reasonable reserve price –  

Payment via Paypal and I require an immediate deposit of $500 same day as auction ends. (Refundable after 10 days if not buying car) Full payment within 3 days of auction end. NO EXCEPTIONS. Will help drive to transport company. 

Motivated to sell but not in a rush.

You can see the car in Milpitas, San Jose or Sunnyvale if you are a local of the Bay Area.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch

Mon, Jul 14 2014

Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
