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. |

Daimler says straight up it doesn't cheat on emissions tests
Mon, Sep 28 2015Distancing itself from VW and its diesel emissions scandal, Daimler has put out a statement saying that it has never installed devices on their vehicles that would artificially reduce emissions during a testing process. The company added that it "actively" supports European regulators' efforts to improve emissions-testing methods to better measure emissions during "real" driving conditions. BMW put out a similar statement last week, saying that its diesels are programmed to be tested properly. While Mercedes-Benz diesels were a fixture on US roads in past decades, the company's diesel sales are now concentrated overseas. "We categorically deny the accusation of manipulating emission tests regarding our vehicles," Daimler said in Friday's statement. "A defeat device, a function which illegitimately reduces emissions during testing, has never been and will never be used at Daimler." There's a reason for that sort of straightforward statement. Namely, heads continue to roll at VW after the automaker admitted it manipulated software in its diesel vehicles to pass US emissions testing. VW followed up by saying that as may as 11 million vehicles worldwide may contain that software and has set aside $7.3 billion to address the issue. VW CEO Martin Winterkorn stepped down as well. Take a look at Daimler's press release below. Daimler AG categorically denies any and all allegations of manipulation Stuttgart, Sep 25, 2015 In light of the ongoing assertions from the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), a non-government organisation, and the related speculation, Daimler AG once again clearly states that: We categorically deny the accusation of manipulating emission tests regarding our vehicles. A defeat device, a function which illegitimately reduces emissions during testing, has never been and will never be used at Daimler. This holds true for both diesel and petrol engines. Our engines meet and adhere to every legal requirement. In light of the written request by the DUH, which was sent to us this morning with a deadline to respond by 3:00 pm (CET), and the seven questions they posed, we can confirm that none of the allegations apply to our vehicles. The technical programming of our engines adheres to all legal requirements. We have no knowledge of measurements that indicate our vehicles did not meet legally required standards.
Berlin demanding costly German recall of 12 million diesel cars
Mon, Jun 26 2017BERLIN - Germany's Transport Ministry is in talks with car manufacturers about updating the engine management software of up to 12 million diesel vehicles, people familiar with the talks told Reuters on Monday. The cost of updating cars could amount to as much as 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion to $2.8 billion), and the ministry is demanding that vehicles with engines conforming to the euro-4, euro-5 and euro-6 standards be part of the recall, government sources said. The German government has demanded that the auto industry shoulder the costs of the update and is pushing for a solution to be presented before German elections on Sept. 24. The ministry is in talks with German auto industry associations VDA and VDIK as well as representatives from local governments to try and cut nitrogen oxide pollution by about 25 percent, the sources said. The talks come amid growing opposition to diesel in the wake of an emissions cheating scandal at Volkswagen. Several European cities including Stuttgart and Munich have considered banning some diesel vehicles because of emissions of nitrogen oxides, which are blamed for causing respiratory disease.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
