2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 Cheap Sport Utility

Like I said in an earlier posting, sometimes staring at traffic takes all my time. Last time I teased you with some tidbits about a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg I'm going to list on eBay. I said I would post some pictures and that is what this post is for.


I've been driving this VW Touareg for about a week now and I'm quite impressed. Compared to it's cousin, the Porsche Cayenne, the Touareg actually seems more refined. Volkswagen came up with a body design that successfully combines a rugged stance with a classy appearance. This Touareg is one of those rare sport utilities that is equally at home out in the woods or out on the town. Volkswagen's signature blue and red interior lighting really makes a statement on this 2004 Touareg!



Unlike many vehicles on the road today there is no bad angle for this Touareg. It has that "complete" look right out of the box and based on the looks and glances I get driving it around town this is one SUV that will look good long into the future. The 18" split-spoke wheels have a satin like finish look great. Yes, you could put bigger wheels onto the Touareg if that is your desire but the eighteens look good and still allow for that occasional off-road romp.

2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 Cheap Cheater SUV

What? I'm doing what? Yep, I'm pitching a car to you, faithful reader. Not just any old car either. That just wouldn't do you any justice at all. An intelligent person like yourself deserves to drive a car that is squarely above average.

Actually I'm not pitching a car. I'm pitching a genuine SUV. A V8, 4x4, German SUV. Co-developed with that hallmark of performance, Porsche. Powered by possibly one of the best V8's on the market today. Coupled to an honest-to-goodness real, live, capable 4x4 drive-train complete with a locking differential, automatic hill decent, full time four-wheel drive, and approach and departure angles that would make a Hummer H2 look over it's shoulder in open jealousy. Best of all, this SUV comes from a manufacturer that will likely cut short any negative comments from your sure to be growing list of green oriented friends.

That's right, the same folks who married flower power to the automobile way back in the sixties and did it all over again in the late nineties just happen to make one of the best SUV's on the planet. Who ever would have thought Volkswagen had it in them? Not me, that's for sure.

Pardon me a moment while I slip into my favorite polyester three-piece and fake snake-skin boots. You know what they say about clothes making the man. I'm trying to sell y'all an absolutely phenomenal used truck here and in order to do it justice I have to slip into my used car sales guy role and there is just something about those boots ya know.

What I've got for you is an almost pristine 04 Volkswagen Touareg V8. In a little while there'll be some pictures for you to stare longingly at but until then you'll have to trust me that its a metallic soft green/gray color with chrome in all the right places and sporty black trim everywhere else. This beauty has 18" ten-spoke alloys that are basically five-spoke wheels with a hole cut in the middle of each spoke. They look great. Coming down the road everyone else will be forced to glance your direction as they are mesmerized by your bi-xenon self-leveling headlights. Want to get that attractive member of the opposite sex's attention at the traffic light? Make sure those lights are on and hit the windshield cleaner. Just below each light a flush fit powered nozzle will raise upwards and spray a powerful burst of water at the lights. If the temp is right you'll even get a romantic fog effect. Absolutely nobody can resist gawking at this event, I don't care how many times you've seen it before.

Inside your 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 you'll be surrounded in luxury, enjoying the atmosphere accentuated by genuine burled walnut and brushed aluminum trim. The leather seats are some of the most comfortable in the business and the front chairs are of course power adjustable. Volkswagen adds a sporty touch (read BMW) by illuminating your controls in 747 cockpit red and makes a bold statement with indigo blue information screens. There are features a-plenty on this luxury truck and I'll go in depth in the next post.

In my last post I mentioned that this truck is a "cheater." If your not in the business you probably don't know what the heck I'm talking about. No worries, after all this is why I write this blog; to give you Mr. or Ms. Car Buyer all the inside information you want. A cheater is a used car or truck that is particularly nice, probably somewhat scarce, normally originally very expensive, and looks virtually brand new. What is the catch? The catch is that in order to be a cheater the used car or truck in question has to have some miles on her. In this 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8's case, the odometer reads 70K.

Now Kelly Blue Book will tell you that this 04 Touareg is still worth somewhere near the mid-twenties with those kind of miles, especially coming from your friendly local dealer. Which is good because that is the number you're going to quote to your friends and neighbors. (Go ahead, I won't tell them how cheap you are if you won't.) The average 04 Volkswagen Touareg that your co-worker drives probably has under fifty-thousand miles on the odometer and he or she probably paid right near thirty grand for it sometime during the last six months. So you've heard prices being tossed about in the twenty-five to thirty-thousand dollar range now. Not horrible for a truck that had an MSRP knocking on the fifty-thousand dollar door. But I said this VW Touareg is a cheater. That means you can buy it for less than twenty-thousand dollars.

Let me say that one more time. You, Mr. or Ms. Car Buyer can call me up and buy this 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 for less than twenty-thousand dollars.

Watch for my next post and for pictures to appear here. I'll update you with an eBay link as soon as the listing goes live also. Don't worry, it won't be an auction. I prefer to offer used cars and trucks like this with the "Best Offer" style listing.

Can't wait for all of that? Call me. Call me now. Leave a message if I don't answer. Come see this 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 for yourself. Come drive it. Bring your mechanic and have him or her drive it too. You can reach me at 330-459-1348. Thanks for stopping and see you next time!

Staring at Traffic Sometimes Takes All My Time

Staring at traffic has apparently taken more of my time than usual as of late. I began this blog roughly in the middle of April with absolutely not a care as to how busy things can become at the car lot at the end and beginning of any given month.

I've set a goal for myself to make posting a regular habit since I have learned over the last week how easy it is to create daily excuses as to why I don't have the time to do a post here. I've also done some thinking on the nature of the blog and I'm going to venture down a somewhat different course in terms of subject matter as well.

You see, as I mention repeatedly, I sell cars for a living. I happen to enjoy selling cars and generally can honestly say I look forward to going to work each day. I'm lucky that way. Upon review I've come to the conclusion that I've made somewhat of a mistake in terms of my subject matter. Odds are, if you're reading my blog you might just be smarter than the average bear. (And good for you!) You probably don't need a step by step break down of a car salesperson's strategy and thought process during the car sales process. Your probably more interested in the results such knowledge might bring you, such as saving money or finding the best used car out there.

So, Mr. and Ms. Car Buyer, I'm no longer (hopefully) going to bore you to death with my oh so studious approach to selling cars. I'm not going to sit here and labor for fifteen minutes over each paragraph attempting to make sure I've phrased things in such a way that will not offend anyone and make my English teachers' collectively proud. Screw all that. If you want a scholarly analysis of the car buying process stop at Border's or your local public library. I'm sure they might be able to help you.

Bottom line, I'm busy and I'll bet your busy too. So forget all the rhetoric and language arts. Lets just talk about cars, selling them, buying them, and loving them. Thats all that really matters in the end anyways, right? After all, if you didn't have some sort of emotional bond to your car you probably wouldn't be searching about cars on the internet. You'd probably be looking at porn or watching music videos or doing some other distraction the internet has to offer.

Later today I'm going to combine selling cars and talking about cars into one post. I won't do this terribly often but I happen to be driving the cleanest 2004 Volkswagen Touareg V8 I've come across in a good long while. Better than that it's a cheater. Yep, it has 70k on the odometer and boy can you steal this truck! What's a cheater? Why do the miles matter? Check in later and I'll explain that. Hopefully I'll figure out how to load some pictures too. As always thanks for stopping and see you in a little bit!
