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. 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. A light came 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.
