2005 Vw Touareg V6 Fully Equipped! 75k Miles Silver/black Leather! Super Clean!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Offered for sale is my wife's 2005 VW Touareg. I had no intention of selling it until I went to the dealer recently to get it serviced. I happened to sit inside the new 2014 Touareg...I found myself driving it home a few hours later...
This was my wife's vehicle and it only has 75K on it because she never used it for anything more than groceries or dropping off and picking up our 3 kids at school, camp, sports...etc. We also took a couple of road trips in it around Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. I bought it because although it isn't huge, It is quite roomy and built like a tank. It has been very reliable, is clean, very safe and runs very strong. The engine and transmission are excellent and it has been very well maintained. There are no strange noises, rattles or shakes of any kind. Just solid, smooth and quiet. It has the 3.2 VR6 motor which has an impressive power band, good torque and loves the highway. It's also very comfortable, attractive and very well optioned. Every single thing in the car works well and the AC blows freezing cold. It does need a little TLC though to make it perfect again. The headliner is beginning to sag a little in the trunk area but nothing too serious, my daughter Maya had a red crayon incident on one of the rear pillars but I'm working on that with a Clorox wipe as I type this. Carfax will show this vehicle was involved in a collision but NO METAL or body panel on the vehicle was ever damaged or hit. There was very light damage that occurred to the passenger side, lower front bumper area which was dealer repaired. They repainted the bumper and replaced some plastic molding and a fog light. That's it. I recently took it to my VW dealer for service and maintenance, they've always been very reasonable and decent with me, I've been buying from them since 2000 and also own a GTI...this latest Touareg makes this our 9th VW. I had a light come on the dash recently and was told that I need to replace a (small electrical) stepper motor in the front differential, it is associated with "Hill Descent Control" and does not affect the way the car drives but is a common fault on this SUV. The driveshaft on this SUV can also be a problem but I already replaced it with an upgraded Porsche Cayenne driveshaft. Bear in mind these two vehicles share the same chassis platform, along with many of their parts. The battery was replaced 6 months ago. Aside from tires, fresh brake pads and an oil change which I was about to do, my service advisor diagnosed and fully examined the vehicle and here is exactly and only what it needs: Nothing more. He explained these are not critically urgent items that need to be replaced, but for best performance, they should be done within the next 6 months. Vacuum Lines - $20 @ any auto parts store Brake Booster Hose - $87 OEM Part # 7L6611931AN jimellisvwparts website Stepper Motor - $465 OEM Part # 0AD341601C koperformance website All used vehicles will need something, they always do, at least here you know exactly what it is. No surprises, no excuses, no disappointments, just a good car that will not let you down. With everything I have disclosed, this vehicle runs excellent and would still drive you across the US and back if you took it tomorrow morning. You can drive it anywhere. I guarantee it. (I WILL EITHER BUY THE STEPPER MOTOR OR THE TIRES w INSTALLATION FOR THE WINNING BIDDER) Please let me know which you prefer at end of listing. I have disclosed all known issues and described this vehicle to the best of my ability, please feel free to call Dan @ 305-495-1942 if you have any additional questions I have not addressed. I am happy to help. Thank you for your consideration. |

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success
Tue, Mar 25 2014Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp
Tue, Jan 6 2015Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.
