2002 VW Passat. Car runs and drives and has been a daily driver but it does need some work to be 100%. This is a great car for someone to drive and fix as they go along. Here is the deal. Over the last few weeks I decided to sell the car and buy a new one. This car has been good but it needs more work than I'd like to get into and I just want a new car so its time for it to go. I'm ready to buy, like buy now.....this weekend. SO I need this sold, preferably by this weekend and its priced as such.  

Pwr and Heated seats
Pwr Windows and locks with keyless entry

Runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission shifts good, no slipping. Sometimes shifts a little funny but nothing that seems too concerning. Interior is clean and consistent with the age. Leather heated seats are in great condition. Body is solid with no rust and the paint shines nice. Does have a few dings and some paint work to the hood and both fenders. The paint work looks ok but the color doesn't match 100%. The damage was from a deer. Hood and one fender were damaged. No air bag deployment.

The tires are decent, probably needs two right away, it has a vibration at highway speeds that seems to be coming from the rear tire. Needs rear brakes and rotors, The front brakes and rotors are new. Drivers side door lock only works with the key. And just yesterday we noticed an oil leak, which at best glance appears to be coming from the oil pan, looks to have a very small crack in the pan. The check engine light is on.  A few of the Radio knobs are missing. The A/C unit isn't blowing very cold but who needs that this time of the year.

Recent new parts are both front exhaust pipes and 02 sensors, Belt and frt brakes and rotors. 

Its still a Passat!. A great car that just needs some work, perfect for a handy person to fix up.

The Car is located in Germantown TN. Clear PA title in hand ready to txfr, the car is from PA. Paypal deposit of $200 due within 24hrs of auction end. Cash balance due by Saturday 2/1. I would like the pick up to be on Fri or sat next week. This works best because its when I get my other car.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
