2005 Vw Touareg V6 Fully Equipped! 75k Miles Silver/black Leather! Super Clean!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Offered for sale is my wife's 2005 VW Touareg. I had no intention of selling it until I went to the dealer recently to get it serviced. I happened to sit inside the new 2014 Touareg...I found myself driving it home a few hours later...
This was my wife's vehicle and it only has 75K on it because she never used it for anything more than groceries or dropping off and picking up our 3 kids at school, camp, sports...etc. We also took a couple of road trips in it around Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. I bought it because although it isn't huge, It is quite roomy and built like a tank. It has been very reliable, is clean, very safe and runs very strong. The engine and transmission are excellent and it has been very well maintained. There are no strange noises, rattles or shakes of any kind. Just solid, smooth and quiet. It has the 3.2 VR6 motor which has an impressive power band, good torque and loves the highway. It's also very comfortable, attractive and very well optioned. Every single thing in the car works well and the AC blows freezing cold. It does need a little TLC though to make it perfect again. The headliner is beginning to sag a little in the trunk area but nothing too serious, my daughter Maya had a red crayon incident on one of the rear pillars but I'm working on that with a Clorox wipe as I type this. Carfax will show this vehicle was involved in a collision but NO METAL or body panel on the vehicle was ever damaged or hit. There was very light damage that occurred to the passenger side, lower front bumper area which was dealer repaired. They repainted the bumper and replaced some plastic molding and a fog light. That's it. I recently took it to my VW dealer for service and maintenance, they've always been very reasonable and decent with me, I've been buying from them since 2000 and also own a GTI...this latest Touareg makes this our 9th VW. I had a light come on the dash recently and was told that I need to replace a (small electrical) stepper motor in the front differential, it is associated with "Hill Descent Control" and does not affect the way the car drives but is a common fault on this SUV. The driveshaft on this SUV can also be a problem but I already replaced it with an upgraded Porsche Cayenne driveshaft. Bear in mind these two vehicles share the same chassis platform, along with many of their parts. The battery was replaced 6 months ago. Aside from tires, fresh brake pads and an oil change which I was about to do, my service advisor diagnosed and fully examined the vehicle and here is exactly and only what it needs: Nothing more. He explained these are not critically urgent items that need to be replaced, but for best performance, they should be done within the next 6 months. Vacuum Lines - $20 @ any auto parts store Brake Booster Hose - $87 OEM Part # 7L6611931AN jimellisvwparts website Stepper Motor - $465 OEM Part # 0AD341601C koperformance website All used vehicles will need something, they always do, at least here you know exactly what it is. No surprises, no excuses, no disappointments, just a good car that will not let you down. With everything I have disclosed, this vehicle runs excellent and would still drive you across the US and back if you took it tomorrow morning. You can drive it anywhere. I guarantee it. (I WILL EITHER BUY THE STEPPER MOTOR OR THE TIRES w INSTALLATION FOR THE WINNING BIDDER) Please let me know which you prefer at end of listing. I have disclosed all known issues and described this vehicle to the best of my ability, please feel free to call Dan @ 305-495-1942 if you have any additional questions I have not addressed. I am happy to help. Thank you for your consideration. |

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
