2001 Vw Passat Wagon Gxl 4motion - Dark Metalic Blue Exterior, Tan Leather, B5 on 2040-cars
Hickory, North Carolina, United States
|
Here's a nice 2001 Passat Wagon. The car is in good shape for its age. It is very roomy yet sporty. It has been my wife's daily driver for the last year and a half, but we've decided to look for something that is a little less powerful and a little more fuel efficient. We installed the OEM LATCH child seat lower anchors in the back seat, and the car is still equipped with the OEM Monsoon radio and 6-disk CD changer. We have maintained the car well, including a new timing belt at around 100k miles, tires, batteries, overhauled ABS module, and a new electric cooling fan. I have saved records for all of this and more. We had a new key fob made when we purchased the car, so two are included in the auction. Here are the non-critical items that we have chosen not to fix, just because they weren't worth the cost:
The driver's seat leather is torn on the left side It sounds like there is a vacuum leak (hissing after shutdown) Radio LCD is intermittent Red center information display (shows driver messages, average MPG, etc) occasionally shows partially There is a small oil leak coming from somewhere- too small for us to bother troubleshooting The plastic cowling piece is cracked and missing a few small pieces Sometimes there is a groaning in the steering system There is a scratch on the black panel just behind the driver's window on the driver's door (see pics) As you can see, I want to be completely honest about the condition of the car, because it doesn't do either of us any good for you to come pick up the car and find it to be described inaccurately. In return I ask that you read the description carefully and bid only if you are a serious buyer. The car has a clear North Carolina title in my name, but please be advised- NC titles require a notary on the seller's signature. This can be a big hassle if you intend to pick up the car outside of regular business hours. I can't sign the title until it has a buyer's name on it, and I can't put the buyer's name on it until after payment. So option one is to pick up the car during business hours, and accompany me to a notary after purchasing the car. Option 2 is to pick up the car outside of business hours, write your name and address on the title, and leave the title with me as you take the car away. In this case, I will send the title to you after I can get it notarized, at my expense, via a tracked shipping service. In any case, I will cover the notary fee. |

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
