  We understand that buying a vehicle online can sometimes leave you un-easy. We are aware that there are other dealers online that do not fully describe the vehicles listed. They might leave important information out, or not have a thorough description of that item.

  Our goal is simple. We aim to be honest and fair with all of our deals. Word of mouth and return business is something we take very serious! We achieve this by providing you with all of the information YOU need to make a comfortable decision, and hopefully proceeding to your investment, a vehicle! We strive for A+ satisfaction. We do not want to waste anyone’s time, and definitely don’t want to mislead you. This is why we inform you of EVERYTHING we know, and provide you with detailed descriptions and conditions of the item for sale.

YOUR HIGHEST BID WILL GET YOU THE VEHICLE! If you wanted a Passat wagon for very cheap, now is your opportunity. This 2001 Volkswagen Passat GLS V6 is now available for NO RESERVE. The wagon is perfect for anyone that needs cargo room, passenger room, and wants good fuel economy. You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other anymore! Please read the full description.

INTERIOR: The cloth seats are in good shape with no rips or tares. The sunroof works perfectly and the heat blows hot. The heated seats are very effective and feel great. The radio is showing signs of no power so it will not come on. The driver master switch is missing; a new or used one will plug right up and work just fine, the other windows work. There are no offensive odors coming from the interior. The unique wood grain is still in great shape. The fabric on the door panels is not adhering on the door properly. A simple labor charge by a professional can glue this right back together. The original window sticker is still with the vehicle along with the owner’s manual. This is usually a good sign.

EXTERIOR: The body is straight and there isn’t any rotting from any rust. There are some close ups on the minor imperfections below. Other than a few bumps and dings, the body is still presentable. The tires are in good shape with a lot of tread left, and I haven’t noticed any slow leaks. These will not need replacing anytime soon.

MOTOR/HANDLING: I drove this wagon for 30 minutes without any issues. The Passat was difficult to jump start after is sat for a couple weeks. After the car warmed up, it stayed idling with no issues. It was hard to see but there was some very light smoke coming from the engine bay. This didn’t have a strong odor, but it went away after some time and then came back. When the car is warmed up it ceases to stall, rpms are steady, and it starts accepting a charge from the alternator. Putting it into gear has a slight jerk to it sometimes and the acceleration is not all that responsive at very low RPM’s. After about 2k rpm’s the car acts normal. The acceleration is fine, the transmission shifts very smooth and when it should. The brakes are quiet and are very effective. The powered steering is smooth and quiet, same with the suspension.

Currently the brake warning light, abs, and check engine light are on. The brake light will flash. We do not know what the issues are and we are willing to let the car go to anyone who has the patience or time. This is not far from being a great car, a little bit of time and this could be a great deal to the right person. If you are interested in purchasing it, feel free to message me so we can create a deal. Please remember, I am not a mechanic. Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus

Tue, Feb 3 2015

We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
