2005 Volkwagen Passat Gls Tdi Wagon on 2040-cars

This 2005 Volkswagen Passat was purchased from a previous owner on eBay on 8/18/2006 with 16,200 miles on it; not even broken-in yet. It has since been used as a commuter car by my non-smoking wife to attend classes at universities in Indiana and Pennsylvania. The car is clean both inside and out, with minimal wear and tear owing to normal use. The leather interior is clean and without defect, except for two small tears in the driver door panel, the result of a smash-and-dash purse robbery that shattered the driver side window. The windows are tinted an amber shade, and match the car nicely. A small rectangle of tinting has been removed from the right lower rear window to accommodate a parking sticker, and I have left the parking sticker in place so that no explanation is needed as to why a small rectangle of tinting is missing. Added options from the previous owner are mudflaps and side window guards. The Monsoon Sound system works perfectly, and includes a 6 disc CD changer located behind a side panel in the left cargo area. An auxiliary audio input is available via the cassette tape function, and is included with the car. All maintenance, both routine and repair, is well-documented, performed by certified mechanics to OEM specs, and will be supplied with the vehicle. Additionally, an excel file containing the maintenance, fuel data, purchase price and mileage history is available via email for those who wish to review that information prior to bidding. Feel free to request it. The timing belt was replaced at 106,000 miles, along with the associated rollers, tensioners and water pump. The 16-inch tires are still in good shape, with about 50% tread left. All of the features and equipment are in working condition, including bulbs, fans, etc. The 5-speed Automatic Tiptronic transmission works perfectly. The pictures associated with this ad depict all of the previously-listed defects and should be self-explanatory. The car will comfortably seat 4 people, and 5 is not that much of a squeeze. It is both heavier and larger than the Jetta wagon, with a smoother, quieter ride. As a result, it is not quite as good with fuel mileage as the Jetta. The MPGs are very good on the interstate, however. Overall, the average MPG achieved with this car during the period of ownership was 34 MPG, info extracted from the excel file. The owner's manual, two remote access keys, a valet key, all service records, the original build sheet, a new air filter and two new oil filters are included with the car. To reiterate the car's defects: There is a small area of rust developing in the wheel well of the front left fender; both plastic headlight covers are clouded and show some oxidation; the antenna roof gasket is cracked and has been repaired with clear silicone; the removable plastic trim that normally covers the indentation for the jacking point is missing from the right side; the alloy wheels are curb-scuffed, particularly on the right side, and one wheel is missing the center VW emblem; there are two small tears in the leather driver door panel; both right and left leading edge bumpers have been scuffed. There is a pictorial representation of these defects.
Good luck, and if you have any questions, please ask. |

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
2015 VW Passat Limited Edition priced from $23,995*
Sun, Mar 8 2015Volkswagen is doing some rearranging of its lineup for the Passat sedan, ditching a pair of trims on the entry level, 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and replacing them with a new Limited Edition trim level. Gone are the Wolfsburg and SE trims from model year 2014, which rung up at $24,375 and $26,280, respectively. The new Limited Edition will start at $23,995, not including $820 in destination charging. According to VW, the new trim level packages $2,755 of extras over the base Passat S, but only demands an extra $1,555 of cash. Not a bad bargain, particularly as the Limited Edition adds some desirable features. An intelligent key with push-button start, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, heated leatherette seats with power controls on the driver's side and a touchscreen radio with an eight-speaker stereo, along with a few lesser options, like fog lights, chrome window trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Beyond the new list of standard equipment, this is still the same competent German sedan. The 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is paired up with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic, as with other trim levels. Check out VW's press release on the new Passat Limited Edition, available below. VOLKSWAGEN RELEASES PRICING ON 2015 PASSAT LIMITED EDITION MODEL Mar 6, 2015 Passat Limited Edition model starts at $23,995 Fuel-efficient 1.8-liter TSI® engine and six-speed automatic transmission standard Value-laden model has a host of standard features, including KESSY® keyless access with push-button start, V-tex leatherette seating surfaces, heatable front seats,17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, touchscreen radio and rearview camera Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced pricing on the 2015 Passat Limited Edition model. The Limited Edition model will have a starting MSRP of $23,995 (plus transportation) and supersedes the Wolfsburg and SE models from the current model year. The new Limited Edition model offers a great value: compared with the automatic transmission S model, it has $2,755 of additional equipment, but costs just $1,555 more.
