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..

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise

Thu, Jan 10 2019

Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

Automakers not currently promoting EVs are probably doomed

Mon, Feb 22 2016

Okay, let's be honest. The sky isn't falling – gas prices are. In fact, some experts say that prices at the pump will remain depressed for the next decade. Consumers have flocked to SUVs and CUVs, reversing the upward trend in US fuel economy seen over the last several years. A sudden push into electric vehicles seems ridiculous when gas guzzlers are selling so well. Make hay while the sun shines, right? A quick glance at some facts and figures provides evidence that the automakers currently doubling down on internal combustion probably have some rocky years ahead of them. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a prime example of a volume manufacturer devoted to incremental gains for existing powertrains. Though FCA will kill off some of its more fuel-efficient models, part of its business plan involves replacing four- and five-speed transmissions with eight- and nine-speed units, yielding a fuel efficiency boost in the vicinity of ten percent over the next few years. Recent developments by battery startups have led some to suggest that efficiency and capacity could increase by over 100 percent in the same time. Research and development budgets paint a grim picture for old guard companies like Fiat Chrysler: In 2014, FCA spent about $1,026 per car sold on R&D, compared with about $24,783 per car sold for Tesla. To be fair, FCA can't be expected to match Tesla's efforts when its entry-level cars list for little more than half that much. But even more so than R&D, the area in which newcomers like Tesla have the industry licked is infrastructure. We often forget that our vehicles are mostly useless metal boxes without access to the network of fueling stations that keep them rolling. While EVs can always be plugged in at home, their proliferation depends on a similar network of charging stations that can allow for prolonged travel. Tesla already has 597 of its 480-volt Superchargers installed worldwide, and that figure will continue to rise. Porsche has also proposed a new 800-volt "Turbo Charging Station" to support the production version of its Mission E concept, and perhaps other VW Auto Group vehicles. As EVs grow in popularity, investment in these proprietary networks will pay off — who would buy a Chevy if the gas stations served only Ford owners? If anyone missed the importance of infrastructure, it's Toyota.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
