2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8, 140k Miles, 19' Bentley Wheels, Fully Loaded on 2040-cars
Sunnyvale, California, United States
Amazing car and
performance with this 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton - Black I am the 2nd owner of the Phaeton, and have taken good care of it for the last 6 years. It is a late MY 2004, 5 seater, with rear climate control and massage seats. It has 140,000 miles. Here is what it has in extras: - Added in the Stage 1 chip software to boost HP to 356HP and removed the limiter 3 years ago. I have documentation & videos! - Facelifted OEM front that added 2007 chrome bits to the foglights (not available in other US cars) - Has extra OEM wooden handles and wooden covers for the cupholders - 19" OEM Bentleys from a 2005 Bentley Flying Spur - 2010 full set of navigation discs - BMW - Everything works inside - all buttons. Work already done this year: - Thermostat, Timing Belt and Starter were all done at dealership at 135K miles (1st timing belt was done at 80K miles) - New Kessy unit - New Brake Pads - Fresh Auxiliary Battery Needs attention later: - Small rip on the leather seat (front passenger seat) right at the very edge, so its very fixable - quoted $120 - Will need new tires and fresh control arms (optional). - A small scratch at the very bottom of the passenger side front fender and a tiny one in front bumper - will need retouching. No dings. - The wheels still look amazing, if you can, a small refinish would make you smile. Car has always been taken care at dealer or small issues at specialized VW independent places. This is a perfect way to get started on a Phaeton. Price is very reasonable. I already have purchased another car, so I'd like to sell my Phaeton and I'm not in a rush. Please ping me and let me know your Q's. Reserve is very reasonable. If you use BUY IT NOW - Will get it detailed again for you prior to purchase.
Selling because I've
already purchased other vehicle and have very limited parking. Payment via Paypal and I require an immediate deposit of $500 same day as auction ends. (Refundable after 10 days if not buying car) Full payment within 3 days of auction end. NO EXCEPTIONS. Will help drive to transport company. Motivated to sell but not in a rush.
You can see the car in Milpitas, San Jose or Sunnyvale if you are a local of
the Bay Area. |

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
