Detailed Description;
Pros for the car, this baby's a cruiser. Careful not to speed! It's easy to do in this thing. It's got a smooth running six-cylinder engine that practically glides along the highway. She just had new tires put on her, and just came back from the mechanic with all systems go. The car is in good condition with average wear. She runs well, with a slew of features for a comfortable ride. All of its features work like a charm, or at least the ones I'm aware of. The owners' manual went missing (sorry folks), so there's all kinds of bells and whistles I've never tapped into. There's a pull up shade for the rear window (if you can see it, it's up in the pics). The windshield wipers are automated and go faster or slower depending on the rainfall. The rearview mirror does this neat trick when its dark; it dims the oncoming headlights so they don't blind you while you drive. The climate control is a great feature, allowing for very precise heating and cooling. The air conditioner was repaired last month and blows icy cold. For the winter time there's heated seats. Everything in this car is powered, from rearranging the mirrors to your snazzy memory settings on the powered seats. Note the pretty blue and red light show on your dashboard when the headlights are turned on, as well as the lovely wood finishes. Your dashboard includes a little analog display that tells you how many miles you have left in your gas tank, as well as the miles you're getting to the gallon (average of about 26-28 MPG), and the ever-so-polite 'Please Refuel' message when the time comes. The back middle seat folds down into cup holders/table setting for the kiddies or your friends on those long road trips. The car is clean, with all of the carpets stain free and lookin' good accept for the little place beneath the accelerator. It just looks like stubborn dirt, so a good scrub would get it out. The car has a moon roof and very large trunk, which is also unscathed. I put the seats down to fit a bicycle in there no problem. Another interesting feature, it drives as an automatic, but has the option to shift manually. I could never get the hang of the manual drive because the car doesn't have a clutch, but it's there if you want to use it! The interior is fully functional with all the lights working, etc. See below for the things that are worn on the car.

The exterior paint has a few very minor scratches, the worst of which is on the left rear bumper and is a dark scuff mark about 4-inches long. There's a tiny ding on the passenger side door. Everything else was small enough that I had a hard time finding them again. The rest of the exterior checks out. Biggest cons of the car, there's some wear on the interior. In no way has it affected my enjoyment of the car, nor its overall appearance. I just want to present an honest listing. It's still a very comfortable ride and I recently scrubbed it to a shine, but the drivers' seat has a worn tear in it, and the passenger seat is worn and the leather has cracked. It's not ripped on the passenger side, just cracked. The back seats are in fine condition, and the luxury leather finishes are still in good shape. I noticed a very small (less than 1/4 inch) slit in the leather finish on the left rear door, and the wood finish is cracked a bit on the passenger side door. The window button on the drivers' side that operates the passenger window will roll the passenger window down but not up...to be clear, the window button on the passenger side works fine both ways. The cover for the bass knob on the stereo is missing (see pics), though it doesn't affect its function. The floor mat in the back seat on the right side used to be anchored down to a plastic disk, kind of like a really big button. It popped off somehow, and I never 'buttoned' it back on because it would take a little bit of force to do this. Lastly, the sealant (??? not sure what to call this. It seems to be a thin, clear coating that makes the plastic in the car appear satiny) has worn away where there was the most friction (around the drivers' side window buttons, the glove compartment, etc.). 

Aaaaand, that's it. No cons to report otherwise. This car belonged to my dad, and he recently gave it to me after buying a new one. All of the bazillion options on it just really aren't my style. I have my heart set on an old 1989 convertible, and so I'm trying to get the cost of the car I want covered. My dad primarily used the Passat to drive to and from work for the past 10 years. He's a non-smoker. The car has never been in a single accident and the title is clear. He's been the only owner besides myself, and I just got the car two weeks ago. I wouldn't even be selling it if I didn't have my heart set on this old convertible I found. 


So there you have it. I'm a private owner, and so the car is being sold as is. If you have any questions, please email me at cecemakarewicz@gmail.com, and I'll do my best to answer. I'll take inquires for people who are interested in buying the car outright, and if the price is right, I'll end the auction early. If you're in the St. Louis area, give me a buzz and you can come see the car for yourself! If you're far away and you need the car shipped, that's on you, my friends.

Happy bidding!

VW spending $10 million on EV infrastructure, calls on Congress for help

Tue, Feb 10 2015

It must be the season of big EV infrastructure announcements. In the last few days, we've heard from Bollore in France, PG&E in California and now VW. The German automaker says it will spend a total of $10 million on electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 2016. That includes the previously announced ChargePoint investment VW made with BMW and work the automaker is doing to get chargers for cars like the e-Golf installed as its dealerships. But Jorg Sommer, Volkswagen of America'sl VP of product marketing and strategy, said today in Washington, DC that automakers need help from the federal, state and local governments to turn electric mobility into a thing. Speaking at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress, Sommer said VW would like the Feds to support fast charging networks in urban areas as well as interstate corridors and that governments should "commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority," he said. He also suggested that the plug-in vehicle multiplier credits under the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations should be extended beyond the 2021 model year. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO INVEST $10 MILLION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2016 Feb 10, 2015 Washington, D.C., February 10, 2015 – Jorg Sommer, vice president, product marketing and strategy, Volkswagen of America, today presented Volkswagen's holistic approach to e-mobility surrounding the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions 2015 e-Golf, including a $10 million commitment to support electric vehicle infrastructure by 2016. During a presentation delivered at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress in Washington D.C., Sommer stated that Volkswagen believes continued legislative support is needed to reach the next level of electric vehicle adoption. "Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers," said Sommer. "In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see Federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We'd like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a U.S. Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need," Sommer said.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements. View 3 Photos Automobile Advertising of the Year Winners Announced New York, NY (January 13, 2015) – The One Club (www.oneclub.org), producers of the prestigious One Show Awards and Creative Week, today announced the winners for the 2nd Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards. In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.
