2004 Volkswagen Passat GLS TDI
Impeccably maintained by me and the one other original owner. Volkswagen imported this TDI model into the US only two years. They remain very desirable road cars and are well-built. Don't let the mileage scare you away from a great car with many years and miles ahead of it. I have all service records since the car was purchased new! It has been a good car but my wife wants a Lexus. Below are some of the highlights and features of this Passat:
Upgrades
Overhead dome light upgrade from a W8 Passat - red twilight illumination of console at night
Xenon headlights - these are true projector HIDs, not the blinding reflectors that some converted cars have
Balance Shaft Module replaced at 176,000 miles - if you dont know about the BSM, do a search on TDIclub.com. This replaces the chain driven BSM with a geared one.
VDO Boost gauge mounted in A-pillar pod. Gauge illuminates in correct VW blue.
Rocketchip RC1 Tune for improved fuel economy and acceleration
Maintenance Highlights
Only proper 505.01 full synthetic oil used since the car was new
Camshaft (OEM not cheap Chinese), camshaft bearings, followers and seal replaced this month and carries a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty from the service facility- cam broken in properly with Joe Gibbs break in oil
All four injectors replaced with Genuine VW PD earlier this month
Driveshafts replaced in November 2010. These are German rebuilt axles from Raxles, not the cheap Chinese knock-offs from the auto parts store that don't balance
Torque converter was replaced at 210,000 miles
Transmission was power flushed at 226,000 miles
Oil was just changed. I used Schaeffer's 9000 5W40 with a new filter. The buyer will be good on an oil change until 240,000 miles
Serpentine belt replaced this month
Timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and roller were replaced at 176,000 miles
Fan clutch replaced at 176,000 miles
New Kumho tires were installed less than 5000 miles ago.
AC compressor replaced three years ago-air blows cold
Everything on this car works- every switch, button, and light. But it is a 10-year old car with a few scratches, dings, etc. I have tried to represent these in my photos.

I welcome pre-purchase inspections and test drives. I have bought and sold several cars and motorcycles on eBay and desire a happy buyer with no surprises. I value my perfect feedback. I do reserve the right to end the auction early since it is for sale locally. Mileage may increase since it is my wife's daily driver. For the winning bidder, I can meet your shipper or pick you up at the ATL airport if you want to do a fly and drive.
Paypal is OK for the deposit but balance has to be cash or verifiable funds

VW takes world sales crown from Toyota for first half of 2015
Tue, Jul 28 2015Despite uncertainty in major markets like Russia and China, Volkswagen is wearing the global sales crown for the first half of the year to overtake Toyota. Through the first six months of 2015, VW sold 5.04 million vehicles, which only narrowly beat its Japanese rival's 5.02 million, Reuters reports. The half-year trophy also placed the German brand one step closer to the goal of being the world's largest automaker. VW can't just cruise through the second half of 2015 to continue wearing the crown, though. The company is a major player in China, and that might start to be a disadvantage soon. Auto demand there is expected to be weak for the rest of the year, which could mean dire effects for companies around the world. According to Reuters, the Western European market shows few signs of a sudden surge, either. To turn things around, VW is working on a massive realignment to be more responsive by organizing its 12 brands under four separate holding companies. One factor in VW's favor is that Toyota is facing its own sales struggles across the globe. In the last fiscal year, the Japanese automaker had growing profits but actual volume was down. At the time, the company predicted a drop to 8.9 million vehicles for the current fiscal period. According to Reuters, Toyota has had problems growing in emerging markets and dealing with higher taxes on small vehicles in Japan. For all of 2014, Toyota held the sales trophy with 10.23 million sales, and VW was in second place with 10.14 million. General Motors came in third with 9.92 million. The year was the first time that VW or Toyota had ever surpassed 10 million vehicles over the stretch of a calendar. Related Video:
Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally
Tue, May 19 2015Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
