For Sale

This is a 2002 Volkswagen Passat GLS 1.8T 183,430 actual miles on it.  Nice mid-size car. It is in nice condition. It has all leather seats, Front two seats are heated and they work. It has a moon roof/sun roof as well which is electric and works. 

 It has a Monsoon Factory radio in it which is tape and cd both and they both work. 

 This car has Two NEW front tires. The back tires will need to be replaced in short time, maybe 8-10,000 miles longer. I just simply replace them two at a time. This car is Front wheel drive not all wheel drive.  

Power locks and windows. They all work and function completely EXCEPT the Driver's door. The motor runs but needs a new regulator which new is approx. $100.00. 

 It gets excellent gas mileage. Since we have had it and driven it I have not gotten any under 28mpg. that has been in town and highway miles. I drive 30miles one way to work everyday.  It is a 4cylnder turbo charged 1.8T engine which is automatic or has the ability to be shifted manually which I think they call it Triptontic.  It does shift hard out of 3rd gear sometimes. Not all the time which I have been told is a common issue with these cars. I have not had any trouble with Sludge issues. Just the glitch from time to time out of third and if you manually shift it, it is smoother but still does it some. I did recently have the ignition coil replaced which has made an improvement with the car's idle and running. It has some minor leaks as it does have 183430 miles on it but it runs good and does not burn oil.

 The timing belt is fairly new. Good solid condition no cracks.

 

The rear defrost works. The two mirrors are electric motion however I think a fuse is out possibly because they do not move. The car comes with a like new owners manual which has proven to be helpful. It has a small missing chrome piece on the passenger side of the trim.

 

I would be glad to take any pictures that are not shown and post them.  Just email or call me with ANY Questions.

The car also comes with the attachment to change the tires. It comes with a spare tire in the trunk. 

The vehicle comes with one key which has the keyless entry for the power locks. Which works as well.

The car is being sold AS-IS.  The asking price is negotiable. I am willing to bend a little on the asking price.

Thank you for looking.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW

Tue, Aug 4 2015

After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.
