This is my 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton W12 420 horsepower AWD sedan.  This car is the most luxurious vehicle ever produced by Volkswagen, and it was well over $100,000 new in 2004.  This car is built on the same platform as the Bentley Continental, and it also shares the W12 engine with the Bentley.

This is a beautiful, clean, smooth and quiet W12 Phaeton- one of only about 300 W12 Phaetons sold in 2004.

This is the 420HP W12 model, with AWD, heated and cooled front and rear seats, massaging seats, draftless 4-zone ventilation, navigation, adjustable suspension (ride height and shock stiffness), premium audio system with DSP, plus any and every luxury you could imagine on a vehicle.

This car has a very straight, clean body with excellent paint.  The car looks beautiful with no damage.

The interior is in beautiful clean condition- the leather, upholstery, carpets and interior panels are clean and in excellent condition.  This was a non-smoker's car.

This car has exactly one problem.  After 20-30 minutes of driving, the engine coolant will become hot.  This is caused by a head gasket allowing exhaust gases into the cooling system.  There is no oil in the coolant nor coolant in the oil, and no mechanical damage to the engine.  The engine has not been "cooked"- a head gasket needs to be replaced.  The engine runs butter-smooth and it runs perfectly.  Every single feature and option on the entire car works perfectly and there are no warning lights illuminated. Cosmetically the car is outstanding- the paint and body are clean and superb and in pristine condition with no damage.  The interior is very clean and in excellent condition. 

This is a clean, great-driving car in gorgeous cosmetic condition. Replace the head gasket and this car will be a dream car at a superb price.

This car is fully operable and driveable.  Every option and feature on the car works perfectly- the air conditioning, 270W premium sound system, heated and cooled seats, navigation, etc, etc.  This car can be driven reasonable distances with no trouble, and can obviously be driven onto a shipping truck or trailer.  For shipping, please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.  This is a fully operable vehicle.

This car is kept in my warehouse in Willoughby, OH.

Please call me at 440 339 4341 with any questions.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery

Tue, Apr 1 2014

When 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.
