It is with a heavy heart that I post this car up for sale. I love this car, but financially this is the best option for me. The car has been well kept by Pasadena Volkswagen. It has had all services done in a timely manner and recently had its brakes done and major 80k service. Only synthetic oil has been used at all services. Mechanically, this car is completely flawless! Car Facts: *Car includes all original tools, jack, and spare tire under hatch floor. *New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with less than 10k miles on them (over $1,000 on tires alone!) These tires are awesome! Simply the best tires for this car. Period. *Car has both original keys plus the original valet key. *It has all of its maintenance records. *Just got a new battery. *Car has both the rubber monster floor mats (currently installed) and the regular carpet floor mats (with custom aluminum foot plate) not installed but included. Car History: *Third owner of car. Purchased the car with only 12k miles on it back in 2008. The second owner only used it on the weekends and kept it in his garage most of the time. He purchased it from the original owner, who was a VW dealer employee. * It has been involved in two "accidents," both of which were minor fender-benders. Both times the car was hit from the back; the first time, the back bumper was replaced with an OEM bumper and painted the original black color. The second time, both the back bumper and rear hatch were replaced with OEM parts and painted to match the rest of the car. Both times the repairs were done at a local repair shop (M1 Autobody in El Monte) which did a fantastic job. You couldn't tell just by looking at the car. Externally, the car is in very good shape. Small dings and scratches can be located around the exterior of the car, but nothing major. Perhaps the worst defect is a small dent on the front of the hood. Someone must have backed up into the car while parked at a parking lot, leaving a small dent on the front of the hood, but again, nothing major. It also has some scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper due to dips and steep driveways, but nothing drastic. And this is on stock suspension! I can't imagine how it would be if it were lowered. Internally, the car is basically in mint condition. The full leather front seats have very minor wear (no rips or tears), and the back seats are perfect. The only things that keep the car from having a perfect interior is that the handle for the glove box is broken and will have to be replaced, and one of the buttons for the Passat dome light kit is broken. Again, its nothing major, but its still being listed for full disclosure. For a complete car history, feel free to run a Carfax report. The car's vin is: WVWKG61J04D099755 I can also take pictures of whatever you would like to see more up close, so please don't hesitate to message me for more detailed pictures. Extras: Due to the car's limited availability, it has been keep almost fully stock, with only a few modifications done to it. The overall theme to the car's mods has been of the OEM+ style, keeping it as original looking as possible. Some aftermarket parts included are: -OEM HID replica Euro R32 headlights (Helix) which retain the built-in fog lights feature (original headlights also included) -OEM Euro R32 RSSR taillights (Hella) (original taillights also included) -White LED city lights -Clear side indicators -Passat dome light kit (in black) -White LED license plate lights -Tint on all windows (75% on front three, 20% on back three) -Euro Polo rear wiper (original also included) -OEM stubby antenna (original also included) -R32 center caps (original VW center caps also included) -EIP cold air intake (w/ K&N air filter) (original air box also included) -VF Engineering engine mounts -H&R Rear sway bar (original sway bar also included) -OEM 6 CD changer in rear -Infinity Subwoofer (500W) with individual control under radio The car is super clean, has always been a non-smoker, adult-driven, and been very well taken care of. It runs, shifts, and drives beautifully, and has plenty of torque. Long story short, this car is tons of fun and will always leave you with a smile on your face. You won't believe how much positive attention you'll get in one of these! It is not uncommon to be asked questions when you're at the gas station filling up, parking at the store, or just driving down the street. You'll constantly be turning heads. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a rare and wonderful car! You will fall in love with it, guaranteed! Thanks for looking. |

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
South Korea to file criminal charges against VW exec
Wed, Jan 20 2016South Korea has tossed out Volkswagen's recall plans and is preparing to level criminal charges over its handling of the diesel emissions catastrophe, The Wall Street Journal reports. "Recall plans the company submitted to us earlier this month were insufficient and lacked key information, and thus are unacceptable," the South Korean Ministry of Environment said in a statement obtained by the WSJ. A ministry official hinted at the possibility of criminal charges earlier this month if VW's recall plan wasn't satisfactory, the Yonhap News Agency reports, and now it looks like it will actually follow through. According to the WSJ, South Korea has already ordered VW to recall 125,000 vehicles and slapped the automaker with a $12.3 million fine – one of the many countries to do so – but if it follows through with criminal charges against the company or its employees, it'd be among the earliest to so. Other countries, including the United States, are still exploring the possibility of criminal charges. Charges would likely come against both Audi Volkswagen Korea and its managing director, Johannes Thammer. It's not clear what the actual charge would be, but the WSJ claims Thammer could be facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 30 million won (around $24,700 at today's rates). For its part, VW officials in South Korea maintains that it is "doing its utmost to resolve the emissions issue" and that it plans to "offer further explanation" to authorities regarding its proposal for an emissions and fuel mileage fix in that country.
This classic VW bus packs Porsche power
Thu, May 14 2015Appearances can be deceiving. The rolling embodiments of that principal we call "sleeper cars": ordinary-looking vehicles that pack a much bigger punch than you'd get by just looking at them. Take this classic VW bus, for example. Sure, it may have some racing graphics and upgraded rolling stock to tell you this isn't just any old van, but looking at it, you'd still have no idea what lies beneath the surface. That's where you'll find oily bits sourced from Porsches. And not from a 914, either. (That was as much a Volkswagen as it was a Porsche anyway.) No, this vintage 1962 VW T1 "Bulli" van packs the air-cooled, forced-induction flat-six from a 993 Turbo, driving 530 horsepower and 558 pound-feet of torque through the six-speed manual transmission from a 996 GT3 to 18-inch BBS alloys. It's the obsessive six-year project of Swiss customizer Fred Bernhard, who also used carbon fiber to cut the curb weight down to 3,300 pounds. The resulting light sleeper can top out at 143 miles per hour, in a vehicle with the aerodynamic profile of, well, a bus. It's called the T1 Race Taxi and is being showcased by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles at the GTI-Treffen at Worthersee this year. Short of maybe the Renault Espace F1 concept, we can hardly imagine any other van we'd rather drive around the Nordschleife. Or just to pick up the kids from school.
