2005 - Volkswagen Passat on 2040-cars
Brunswick, Georgia, United States

Mine is a outstanding example of the rare and very desirable 2005 VW Passat GLS TDI Wagon. Anyone who is familiar with this car, or has researched it, knows that it has all the advantages of a sleek wagon - power, speed, comfort, passenger and cargo roominess - combined with the stability and reliability of a truck. It easily gets 38 miles to the gallon on the HWY and sometimes as much as 45-48 MPGs. 100,000 miles on this car is the beginning of its capacity if its looked after well, as this has been. This car has has been attended to throughout its life, with exacting service, immediate repairs to any worn out parts, and all the correct fuels and synthetic oils. It has never been in any kind of accident or fence bender; tires have been rotated and changed regularly. The car has been driven regularly, occasionally on a long road trip, where it has always excelled. It's a diesel, so it idles slightly noisily with a small vibration that is entirely normal for this vehicle. Once you get the RPMs up and begin cruising the engine settles into a low and quiet hum. Because of the high torque to HP ratio, the car gives plenty of power, even fully loaded going uphill at speed. This is the kind of car that inspires real car love, with admiration for the craft of engineering and the pedigree of a brand like VW. Not all VWs are created equal, of course. Some that are made in Mexico or the US are inferior to German made VWs when it comes to reliability and longevity. This Passat TDI is a completely German made vehicle, on a rock solid chassis, with an engine the Germans have perfected. My car is the top of the line version of what I consider the best body style in history for Passat Wagons. I bought it in 2007 with approx. 18,000 miles on it. I live in California where they were never sold, and after researching widely, I bought my car at above market price - $32K- from a specialist in Texas, flew to pick it up, had it fully checked out and cleared at the main VW dealer In Lubbock, and then drove it home to Los Angeles. They only sold this car in the US in 2004 and 2005 so they are hard to find, especially in good condition. I am selling because I recently bought a 2014 Subaru Outback for my family, and don't have room or desire to park both. I give this VW up reluctantly. So what will you see if you're looking at my car. It's in very good condition. On the exterior, it has the very nice VW factory applied double thin white line on both sides to accent the gray metallic paint, with factory standard silver metal door protectors, wing mirror blinkers, daytime running lights and fog lamps, automatic moonroof, and mast antenna. There are 3-4 minor scratches (cosmetic and not easily visible), but they are real enough that I have not attempted to buff them out. To get rid of them would require re-painting properly and it is unnecessary. The front and rear bumpers had enough scuffs and bumps from LA drivers parking a little too carelessly that I went ahead and had both bumpers re-painted expertly, with the correct factory paint so that a buyer gets a nice looking clean start. They are perfect. The engine has been fully serviced in December 2013, has been driven only a few miles since then, and is ready to go in excellent condition. Front and rear all season tires are practically new. There is a spare in the rear. Front and rear 17" alloy wheels complete the exterior package. Two of the wheels have some minor scratches on them, again cosmetic. In the interior, you will see the fully optioned GLS package with the leather and wood grain package. This includes heated seats, heated washer, dark gray leather seat upholstery with additional vinyl; Leather covered multi-function steering wheel; Remote audio controls; Luxury trim wood/woodgrain on gear knob, wood/woodgrain on doors and wood/woodgrain on dashboard; Leather hand brake grip. The car has an in-dash CD and cassette player with the optional 8-speaker Monsoon stereo. The car is set up for a 6-CD loader option in the rear compartment but I never installed the option. 12V outlets are in front, passenger and cargo compartments. In summary, this is a car that dealers and even casual motor enthusiasts always get excited about. All the service guys at our VW dealer in Santa Monica love this car. They call it 'the tank', because it is super solid, heavy metal throughout, built old style German with none of the fragile plastics used in the new VWs. This model inspires admiration from anyone who knows about cars. We are frequently approached and asked about the car or given the thumbs up by passersby who know, so be prepared to chat with the occasional enthusiastic stranger. Please bid within your comfort zone. I would like a clean transaction and a good new home for a car that has been nothing but outstanding.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Volkswagen forced to sell stake in Suzuki
Mon, Aug 31 2015The six-year-long failed marriage between Volkswagen and Suzuki has finally come to an end. Almost. An arbitration panel in London issued its final verdict which, according to a VW press release, cleared Suzuki in terminating the agreement, so VW now needs to get rid of its 19.9-percent share. However, the tribunal's decision said VW performed all of its obligations and Suzuki didn't – the Japanese carmaker should have given VW last-call rights for a delivery of diesel engines, but failed to. The breach opens Suzuki up to damage claim, but so far VW only says it reserves the right to sue. Now that Suzuki has an outside investor to provide funds it meant to get from VW, perhaps both can get back to their reasons for being. The press release is below. Ruling in arbitration proceedings: Cooperation between Volkswagen and Suzuki deemed terminated - Arbitral tribunal confirms Volkswagen met contractual obligations and finds that Suzuki has ordinary right to terminate agreement based on reasonable notice - Volkswagen to dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects positive effect on Company's earnings and liquidity from transaction - Arbitrators also find that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has right to claim damages Wolfsburg, 30 August 2015 - An arbitral tribunal in London has announced its ruling in the dispute between Suzuki Motor Corporation and Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. As a result, cooperation between the two parties is deemed terminated. The arbitrators confirmed that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement and found that Suzuki has terminated the agreement upon reasonable notice. Volkswagen will therefore now dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects a positive effect on the Company's earnings and liquidity from the transaction. The arbitral tribunal also confirmed that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has the right to claim damages. "We welcome the clarity created by this ruling. The tribunal rejected Suzuki's claims of breach and found that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement. Nevertheless, the arbitrators found that termination of the cooperation agreement by Suzuki on reasonable notice was valid, and that Volkswagen must dispose of the shares purchased.
Audi, Porsche ensnared in new Volkswagen cheating allegations
Mon, Nov 2 2015The scope of the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal that has enveloped the global automaker for the past six weeks widened Monday. Now, some of the automaker's premium brands are further ensnared in the mess. Officials with the Environmental Protection Agency issued a second notice of violations Monday, accusing Volkswagen of violating the Clean Air Act by using defeat devices that circumvent emissions testing on diesel versions of certain vehicles equipped with 3.0-liter engines. Roughly 10,000 vehicles in the United States contain the illegal software, the EPA alleges. That's a far smaller number than the 482,000 vehicles affected by the first instances of cheating, which Volkswagen confessed to in September. But this latest violation alleges the cheating occurred broadly through the Volkswagen empire and includes vehicles from the Porsche and Audi brands. Audi had one model, the A3, involved in the first round of announced violations. But the brand, which has enjoyed skyrocketing sales in the US in recent years, is more extensively involved in violations announced Monday. The 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5 are among the cars which contain the illegal software, which permits the cars to emit nitrogen oxide at up to nine times the allowable thresholds set in the Clean Air Act, according to the EPA. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne and '14 Volkswagen Toureg SUV are also affected. "There is clear evidence of additional violations and it's important to put Volkswagen on notice and to inform the public." - Janet McCabe. "Audi, which has been on a roll in terms of sales, reputation and image of late, now is being drawn deeper into the quagmire," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for Autotrader. "Previously, only the low-volume A3 was under scrutiny, but now Audi's core models are under fire." Audi officials did not respond to a request for comment Monday. In a written statement issued late Monday afternoon, a Porsche spokesperson said, "We are surprised to learn this information. Until this notice, all our information was that the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is fully compliant." Porsche said it would cooperate with authorities.
