2000 VW Passat 2.8L V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. To view the video with a complete description of the car, listen to it run, etc: http://youtu.be/yagNxWvYXJA

Below is pretty much what I go over in the video, except you don't get to hear the car running, watch the windows go up and down, sunroof work, view my contact information, etc. I have tried to take as many pertinent pictures of the car as I could. If you have anything specific you want to see or need to know about please let me know. I did include several undercarriage pictures as my best friend has a lift.

 I used this car primarily to get my kids to and from school and their therapy appointments. I did drive it when I worked (competition staff) the 2013 Great Race (antique car rally) from Minnesota along the mighty Mississippi River to Mobile, Alabama. 

I'm selling it because in three weeks I am starting Nursing school and I don't have the time to continue preventive maintenance that still need to be done and also, I cannot get to places I need to go due to clearance issues. So, I have replaced it with a daily driving Jeep.  I have the parts, just not the time. The car does Run & Drive Good.

This car has 197,800 miles though that is likely to change as I still drive it at least every other day. It gets Great gas mileage, around 24-26 MPG. The interior is in Ok condition. Some of the leather is ripped or torn. Rear seat is really good behind the drivers seat, but has tears on the passenger side, carpet could use a cleaning in back, front seats have covers on them, glove box has been fixed three times. The way it is now is still functional, just not the prettiest. I have a black glove box I will include with the car.

Features:

A/C that will get you chilly

Leather Seats

Heated Seats in the front

Sunroof

Cruise Control

6 Disc CD Changer

AM/FM Radio & Cassette Player

Power Windows

Power Locks

Front cup holders

Defrost for the front and the back glass

There is an owners manual, however it is for a 99 that we picked up at a Pull A Part junkyard.

Extras: Spare key (key will unlock the door and trunk, remote part we've never been successful programming it); 2nd Full Size Spare Tire (other is in the car already); Extra center cap.

**IF the car is purchased through Buy It Now OR the price reaches $2400. I will include the Bentley Shop Manual ($100 value).**

Brakes (all four done just prior to my ownership in late 2012)

Control Arm (drivers side) (May 2014)

Flex pipe (drivers side) (Feb. 2013)

CV axle (Passenger side) ( Feb. 2014)

Windshield replaced by ABRA, Oct. 2013 after a trip to TX where an 18 wheeler kicked up metal debris cracking the windshield

Cabin Air Filter & Air Filter last Spring

Kumho Ecsta tires (put on June 2013)

Windshield wipers (May 2014)

Transmission Fluid (May 2014) * Old Fluid was still in great condition*

Oil Changes were done every 3-4 months, depending my traveling. Every other change we rotated the tires, inspected them & the brakes.


I would like to note that I was in a minor fender bender In October of last year. Everything has been fixed except the windshield fluid bottle & putting silicone beneath the ECM box.



What needs to be done (Preventive Maintenance):

Check Engine Light is ON:  It is on ONLY because of the air pump not working. I HAVE one I just don't have the time to install it. The codes are P1423 & P1411.

Windshield Fluid Light is ON:  Bottle has not been installed. I HAVE one again, I just don't have the time. This does require the lines that were severed in the accident to be spliced.

Some mornings when you crank the car, the cam chain rattles for a short time on the passenger side. I have the cam tensioner pads, valve cover gasket & the cam tensioner tool to do the job that I am including with the car. There is a slight oil leak, about six drops the size of quarters everyday that you drive it.

ECM box needs to be taken out and silicon put on the bottom of it as it shifted a little bit causing it to leak when it rains. 

All the drain holes were cleaned out back in April.


The car is Rust Free. Clearcoat is peeling in a few areas, primarily in front of the sunroof.

I've really enjoyed having the car, it gets great gas mileage and will get up and go! This car has saved me several mornings when getting my teen daughter to school before the bell rings :)

The Traction control works Great on this car. This past winter I got to experience it when the infamous weather that "paralyzed" Atlanta hit us as well. I watched cars slide in front of me and beside me, including a BMW that gave up, parked at a gas station. This car gracefully climbed up several hills allowing my kids and I to get home from their therapy appointments!

What my kids and I will miss most about this car are the heated seats, the heater itself and the defrosters. Usually within 15 minutes of driving down the road you're ready to strip layers of clothing off because it gets nice and toasty warm. The defrosters are by far the best I had ever had. It doesn't take very long for the ice to melt off the back glass or the windshield. Imagine that your neighbor who started their vehicle before you are still scrapping their windshield as you're driving off! 

We have really enjoyed the car and hope that someone else will enjoy the car as much as we have. 

The car has a clear title and is ready to be yours!

We can deliver the car within 100 miles

It is located 30 minutes from Chattanooga, 2 hours from Atlanta and 3 hours from Nashville.

A deposit of $250 (PayPal) is required within 72 hours of Auction End.  If you need my contact information to ask any specific questions, please view the video and toward the end it will be listed. Or you may message me through Ebay.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
