I am the SECOND OWNER of this beautiful W8 wagon. First owner was a middle aged woman who dealer serviced it all of its life. I bought it earlier this year completely stock. Not even tinted. The car has always been pampered. ZERO mechanical issues!! Car runs fantastic, I use it every day, and would not hesitate to drive cross country and back 100x. To be honest, I absolutely LOVE this car. I just have a few too many cars right now, and need to clear a few out...


This car is a lot more Audi than it is VW. Its bigger than an A4, with almost as much space & rear leg room as my A6. Definitely more than my old A4. Its much better equipped than even other Passats from the same years. The 4motion system is exactly the same as the Audi Quattro system. It is rear-wheel biased, full time, all wheel drive. Not like the newer VW 4motion system, which is the Haldex design. The Haldex awd is front wheel drive, and power is electronically sent to the rear wheels when the front wheels begin to slip. A very unpredictable and inferior design to the Quattro based system in this car. The suspension is also different from 4 & 6 cylinder Passats of the generation. It is the same part #s as the A6. The W8 model also has additional bracing & welding, which you can really feel by how solid this car is. The brakes are the HP2 321mm setup, from the factory, which is the same as the B5 Audi S4 and the A6 2.7T. The rears are also larger 269mm. Even larger than the S4's 255mm. The W8 engine is incredibly smooth and powerful (270hp/273tq) at all revs, and makes an astonishing sound.


W8 specific features- Bi-Xenon HID headlights (W8 only), heated leather with power & memory, Monsoon stereo with 8 speakers, projector fog lights with yellow Lamin-X, power moonroof, 12v ports in hatch, dual exhaust with quad tips stock, chrome roof rails, wood interior trim, auto-dim rear view mirror, and others.


Never hit, body is all original and it GREAT shape for its age! All panels line up straight and clean. One very small dent by passenger wheel well, seen in pics. Small scratch on hood by pass headlight. Some minor parking dimples on rear bumper from previous owner. All mods & replaced parts listed are less than 3k miles ago. ST Coilovers with less than 2k miles, followed by fresh alignment within spec! No rubbing at all. Rear mufflers replaced with Magnaflows & stainless quad tips slightly bigger than factory. I still have the factory sections with stock mufflers & tips in great condition. I will include these free upon request. The Magnaflow setup really sets that INCREDIBLE W8 sound free!! It seriously sounds like a Ferrari meets a VR6 meets a conventional V8. Turns a lot of heads when a sound like that comes from a wagon!

Fresh oil change 750 miles ago with Mobil 1 European formula & Bosch filter. New front drivers axle. New front upper control arms. New rear brake pads & resurfaced rotors. Tints are also only a few months old, 35% all around.

The height of the car is fully adjustable if you wish it was a different height. It can go significantly lower or higher than the photos. For those not familiar with coilover suspensions..

The car will come with factory wheels, shown in one of the photos. The 17x8 C5 A6 4.2 wheels are *NOT* included. All other mods & parts listed, and as seen in photos, are included. Factory W8 wheels with good all seasons are included in the sale of the vehicle.

Test drives or inspections are welcome, but no joyriding or tire kickers. Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions you may have. Pickup is preferred. If you need to ship the car, that is your responsibility to arrange, but I will accomodate however I can..

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Volkswagen calls its 2015 Jetta "refined, redesigned," and countless man-hours have gone into its re-engineering, but you'd need to crawl all over the car, unbolt most of the body, drive it or spend some time on VW's website to fathom the changes. That's why we wrote, "2015 Volkswagen Jetta is new, we promise," when we first saw the car in New York last April. While we wait for a sweeping next-generation overhaul to come, the marquee elements for now are the new structure underneath designed to win an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, fuel economy increases and a heavily reworked 2.0 TDI diesel engine. Plus, there's ornamental detailing around the body and updated interior, and the revamped trim package and accessories matrix promises to provide more value. That makes it a better buy than the 2014 model, assuming it can find buyers ready to appreciate the subtleties. Outside, improved aerodynamic prowess is the primary goal, and almost all of the visual refresh works to further that aim. A new grille with three cross fins sits atop a slipperier bumper and air intakes. On models with the 1.8T gas engine and new 2.0 TDI diesel, the grille is fitted with a shutter to decrease drag and, on the diesel, speed up the engine warming. There are sleeker rain gutters inside the A-pillars and paneling under the body by the rear axles. Attending to airflow in back is an altered decklid reshaped with an integrated spoiler. Among the other changes are optional adaptive bi-Xenon headlights lined with 15 LED running lights and a chrome strip of brightwork. New fog lights are set in the flanks of the lower lip, and LED taillights can be had on the GLI and Hybrid models, with a tweaked VW logo sitting in between. The illuminating upgrades continue inside with ambient lighting and a crisper dash cluster display. Those cabin changes are joined by an optional "tunnel" theme for the gauges, a new steering wheel design with piano black accents and chrome, redesigned vent controls and new fabric options. Changes to the front substructure from the bumper to the front doors, and strengthened A-pillars combined to win the 2015 sedan a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're here to focus on the diesel model, and the updated EA288 2.0 TDI engine and its modular packaging is the most visceral highlight for 2015, inserting new numbers on every line of the spec sheet compared to its predecessor, save for cylinder bore spacing.

Winterkorn receives support of VW board, leadership battle continues

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Strange things have been happening - in public, that is - at Volkswagen over the past few weeks, kicked off when VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piech reportedly said he didn't want Group CEO Martin Winterkorn to be the next company chairman, and that he was keeping Winterkorn "at a distance." Winterkorn's ascension was widely believed to be a fait accompli. We were really just waiting for office furniture and desk plaques to be moved around. That led to a meeting of the six-member supervisory board's leadership committee in Piech's office in Salzburg, Austria, not at Group HQ in Wolfsburg, Germany, where the five other members of the committee came out in support of Winterkorn. They also suggested they might extend his contract when it ends in 2016, and then gave Piech an ultimatum to agree to public support of the CEO or they would demand Piech's resignation. At the same time, the company's labor reps and the German state of Lower Saxony issued statements supporting Winterkorn. It's said that the chairman has a number of gripes with the CEO, prime among them being the state of the company's US business for the core Volkswagen brand. Market share has dropped to two percent in the United States and Winterkorn admitted that his team hasn't been properly engaged with our market. Years of effort put into a budget car haven't resulted in much except the company saying it finally knew how to do one, and that was a year ago. It's losing share in Brazil, overall profit margins are down, BMW is taking possession of the green-car credentials among German brands, and it's said that Piech doesn't believe Winterkorn has the vision to do what's necessary. Having agreed to play along and now in "diplomacy phase," some say a little light has gone out of Piech's star inside the company, while others wonder if this battle is truly over.
