Hello!  Up for sale is my 2013 VW Passat SE TDI.  I am the original owner and purchased it in January of 2013 as my primary driver.  I selected the Passat TDI based upon previous experience with a Jetta TDI I owned.  The build quality and fuel efficiency of the TDI models is legendary.  In this Passat, I have seen Hwy mileage as high as 46mpg and a minimum of 35mpg it heavy stop and go city driving.  I average about 700 miles per tank.  Even with the higher price of diesel over gasoline, you will see a lower cost per mile than the Accord, Maxima, Camry, or any other car in its class.  The 2 liter Engine provides 140hp and 236 lbs-ft of torque, which results in a surprisingly quick ride.  You will have no trouble passing traffic when needed.  The added option of the 18” wheels and the 6 speed DSG transmission make for a sporty, well handling package.  I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway in last fall and was very surprised by the Passat’s ability to carve the curves.  It offers a driving experience that none of its competitors can match.

It currently has 25,111 miles on it and has only ever been serviced by the dealer I purchased it from, Owens Murphy VW in Little Rock.  The next service, due at 30,000 miles, is included with the car.  It has been garage kept, and regularly detailed.  There are no major defects, only the two scratches that are shown in the pictures.  The one on the passenger door happened when my mountain bike fell over in the garage, and the one under the left headlight occurred when a piece of wood fell off the back of an 18 wheeler and bounced off the roadway.  The car has never been involved in an accident in any capacity and is in excellent condition aside from the aforementioned blemishes.  It was last detailed a few months ago and has been in the garage since then, as I have been driving another vehicle.  I drive it at least once a week to keep the battery charged and ready to go.  I have decided to sell it for two reasons.  I am working on getting back down to one vehicle before my next job move, and I got a Siberian Husky and refuse to let her ride in it for fear of damaging the interior.  The car just does not suit my life anymore. 

The windows were tinted by Premier Tints with their top level Ceramic tint.  It has 15% on the rear window, 25% on the side windows, and 50% on the front window.  I always have my cars tinted all the way around as it makes the biggest difference for driver comfort and heat control.  This tint job was a $390 addition to the car and is worth the money.

The factory options over the standard SE trim level includes:

  • ·         18” alloy wheels with all-season tires
  • ·         V-Tex Leatherette seats
  • ·         Sirius XM satellite radio
  • ·         Bluetooth input
  • ·         Aux input
  • ·         Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod input/control
  • ·         Power tilt & Sliding Sunroof w/Sun-screen
  • ·         Radio Navigation system RNS-315 w/color touchscreen
The car is located in the Little Rock area, and is available for viewing if you wish.  Please give me some notice and I will do my best to accommodate your time line.  I have it financed, so the title can only be delivered after making payoff and clearing the loan.  Buyer is responsible for pick up, but I will help with reasonable circumstances.  Please do not hesitate to send questions and offers my way at Five Zero One, Seven Seven Two, Six One Zero Nine.

Thank you for your time.

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents

Tue, Dec 22 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar.  Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.

Chrysler recalls 112k family-haulers over airbag controllers

Sun, Feb 7 2016

The Basics: Chrysler has issued a recall for an array of minivans and crossovers manufactured in 2007 and 2008. The models affected include the 2009 Dodge Journey, 2008-09 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2008-09 Chrysler Town and Country. The 2009 Volkswagen Routan, which was manufactured by Chrysler, is also being recalled by FCA. The automaker estimates that 112,001 units in the United States are affected, all told. The Problem: Corrosion in the air bag control unit could prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, or alternatively deploy prematurely. Chrysler points out that "none of the affected vehicles are equipped with ammonium-nitrate inflators" like those fitted by Takata. Injuries/Deaths: The manufacturer reports seven minor injuries (but no accidents) potentially related to this issue. The fix: Chrysler will replace the air bag control unit, though it has not yet outlined a timeframe for doing so. If you own one: Look for a recall notice in the mail and then schedule service with your local dealership. If you don't receive one, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number S07.

In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail. CONSEQUENCE: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
