2004 VW Touareg, 125kMi, black, loaded, excellent, customized

V8, Air Suspension, GPS, Keyless entry/start, Premium Sound, Towing, Roof Rack, All Luxury Options
  
They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore.
Literally.

For Sale: 2004 VW Touareg with Computer Air Suspension, 306hp V8, plus Towing, Navigation, Roof Rack and Luxury Packages. 125k miles, excellent condition, nearly perfect mechanically, many custom extras, two (2) sets of alloy rims and tires.

This car is a beast.

For towing. In snow. Off road. Or as a user-friendly SUV.
And yet, when you get in, your first reaction to the wood and leather interior will be that it's as luxurious as the very best sedans you've been in.
Really nice.

So where's the BEAST? In the suspension. No springs, no shocks … instead four computer-controlled air pistons. Very competent but very costly. They aren't making it anymore. Too expensive. But, oh my, it delivers astounding performance. You can dial in the "Sport" or "Luxury" response. Or if you want to drive through a snow bank or cross a stream, it will go up like a funny truck. Or if you want to load a kayak or skis on top, it will kneel down like a sedan. Unreal to see it happen. On the performance tires, it will outperform a Porsche 911 through a slalom course … (!).

With the computer-controlled HI/LOW/LOCKING differential, it delivers the best off-road numbers available, short of a military vehicle. Approach/Departure 33 degrees. Breakover 27 degrees. Climb gradient 45 degrees. Fording depth 23 inches. This are real off-road credentials. The Touareg can handle the Baha Dessert. Most SUVs are good for a run though the Taco Bell.

Got horses? Or a big boat? Or a dump trailer? It tows 7 716 pounds! Best in class and better than many pickups. It has a Class IV 10000# hitch with 2" receiver. There's a YouTube showing the Touareg pulling a Boeing 747. No fooling.

Got to get through blizzard conditions no matter what? With all-season tires, the Touareg is very, very, very good in snow. With full "snowflake" tires, it feels like it can climb trees. It has FULL TIME four-wheel drive NOT "all-wheel drive". You will get through.

The other goodies: navigation, premium sound, premium Nappa leather, burl wood trim, custom keyless entry/start, custom dash, parking assist, dual climate system, tiptronic transmission, ABS, ESC, memory seats with power lumbar, premium mats/liner, moon roof, and more. The glove box is engineered as an adjustable wine cooler! Luxury that kicks ass ... and gets stuff done.

All season tires good on four (4) factory 18"x8" alloys. Summer performance tires fair on three (3) premium 20"x10" alloys (see pix). One (1) factory space saver spare mounted in vehicle. One (1) full-size spare mounted on matching factory 18" rim.

Includes factory-custom luggage carrier and aero-profile load bars, rated 220#. Longitudinal tracks are imbedded into the roof; the locking cross-members can be positioned fore and aft easily without tools. Load bars accept T-slot or clamping sport accessories. They can be left on and still clear virtually any garage door opening. Or they can be positioned to the rear as an attractive trim spoiler or removed completely for the seasons. Best of all, when you load something on top, the Touareg will drop to the height of a normal sedan on the air positions. Note the wheel well pix showing the range of motion over the tire.
The two pix showing the 20" rims mounted are not current. Everything else was taken hours ago. Dealer serviced, full maintenance record, clean CarFax, freshly serviced and detailed, not driven since. No known mechanical defects.

For the people who want this special capability, this is a really special car.

Did I mention BEAST?

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
