I am the SECOND OWNER of this beautiful W8 wagon. First owner was a middle aged woman who dealer serviced it all of its life. I bought it earlier this year completely stock. Not even tinted. The car has always been pampered. ZERO mechanical issues!! Car runs fantastic, I use it every day, and would not hesitate to drive cross country and back 100x. To be honest, I absolutely LOVE this car. I just have a few too many cars right now, and need to clear a few out...

This car is a lot more Audi than it is VW. Its bigger than an A4, with almost as much space & rear leg room as my A6. Definitely more than my old A4. Its much better equipped than even other Passats from the same years. The 4motion system is exactly the same as the Audi Quattro system. It is rear-wheel biased, full time, all wheel drive. Not like the newer VW 4motion system, which is the Haldex design. The Haldex awd is front wheel drive, and power is electronically sent to the rear wheels when the front wheels begin to slip. The Haldex system is very unpredictable and inferior design to the Quattro based system in this car. The suspension is also different from 4 & 6 cylinder Passats of the generation. It is the same part #s as the A6. The W8 model also has additional bracing & welding, which you can really feel by how solid this car is. The brakes are the HP2 321mm setup, from the factory, which is the same as the B5 Audi S4 and the A6 2.7T. The rears are also larger 269mm. Even larger than the S4's 255mm. The W8 engine is incredibly smooth and powerful (270hp/273tq) at all revs, and makes an astonishing sound.

W8 specific features- Bi-Xenon HID headlights (W8 only), heated leather with power & memory, Monsoon stereo with 8 speakers, projector fog lights with yellow Lamin-X, power moonroof, 12v ports in hatch, dual exhaust with quad tips stock, chrome roof rails, wood interior trim, auto-dim rear view mirror, and others.

Never hit, body is all original and it GREAT shape for its age! All panels line up straight and clean. One very small dent by passenger wheel well, seen in pics. Small scratch on hood by pass headlight. Some minor parking dimples on rear bumper from previous owner. All mods & replaced parts listed are less than 3k miles ago. ST Coilovers with less than 2k miles, followed by fresh alignment within spec! No rubbing at all. Rear mufflers replaced with Magnaflows & stainless quad tips slightly bigger than factory. I still have the factory sections with stock mufflers & tips in great condition. I will include these free upon request. The Magnaflow setup really sets that INCREDIBLE W8 sound free!! It seriously sounds like a Ferrari meets a VR6 meets a conventional V8. Turns a lot of heads when a sound like that comes from a wagon!

Fresh oil change 750 miles ago with Mobil 1 European formula & Bosch filter. New front drivers axle. New front upper control arms. New rear brake pads & resurfaced rotors. Tints are also only a few months old, 35% all around.

The height of the car is fully adjustable if you wish it was a different height. It can adjust to rest significantly lower or higher than the photos. (For those not familiar with coilover suspensions..)

The car will come with factory wheels, shown in one of the photos. The 17x8 C5 A6 4.2 wheels are *NOT* included. All other mods & parts listed, and as seen in photos, are included. Factory W8 wheels with good all seasons are included in the sale of the vehicle.

Test drives or inspections are welcome, but no joyriding or tire kickers. Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions you may have. Pickup is preferred. If you need to ship the car, that is your responsibility to arrange, but I will accomodate however I can.. Also willing to deliver within approx 1 hour radius, as long as there is a train near by for me to get back home. Contact me, we can work things out. Please do not contact me regarding low ball offers or trades..

Car is for sale locally & on other sites, so I reserve the right to end early if sold another way.

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
