Basic info: 1999 Volkswagen Passat GLS 4-door sedan in very good condition. Relatively low mileage of 106,600 miles, 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo engine, 5-speed manual transmission, black exterior, powered sunroof, alloy wheels, dark-gray cloth interior. Front-wheel-drive, ABS, dual airbags, A/C, power windows and locks, cruise control.  Great mileage: 21-24mpg city, 31-34mpg highway (yep, higher than rated at 65-70mph).

Condition: No accidents in this car's history, and I have most maintenance records available.  Exterior has a few small dings of quarter-inch or less, otherwise clean and new-looking.  Interior is very clean: no smoking, no food, no drink spills in car, ever – so no smells. Some nicks on front inner door handles, and some sun bleaching at the back window tail-light, but still looks fine.  Two small night-lights for the center panel vents have gone dark, but they're not essential, and everything else electronic and mechanical works.  Absolutely ready to drive.

Maintenance: scheduled maintenance closely followed, oil changed very regularly and early (every 4k miles instead of 5k); Auto-RX engine cleaner has been used pro-actively. Timing belt and water pump were replaced at 77,000 miles.  Tires are a little over 2 years old, Hankook Optimo H727, and have about 20,000 miles on them.  This Passat has only been fed premium fuel all its life.  It's been taken care of by one very skilled local mechanic for many years, who always checked over the car with every visit. 

History: Car was assembled in VW's Germany factory.  I've been the only owner and driver of this car, and intended to keep it for at least another 100k miles, but am leaving the region and giving it up.  It's served me well for many years, and is a worthy example of German engineering – everything feels solid, and driving it is still a pleasure.  The car has always been driven gently: never red-lined the engine, and light touch on the brakes.  Clean title, of course.  VIN ready to check w/ CARFAX as you'd like.

I may end the auction early if necessary.  Any questions, please contact me.  Happy and safe motoring!

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
