I have been struggling with the idea of letting her go, but its time she finds a new home.

If you posted this like 4 months in the future I might've taken you up on this.

If I didn't already have one, I'd bite!

You can always tell a Jalop ad... nicely written. Good luck with the sale.

You need a spare. DO IT.

That is upsetting but tell me more about this M3...

If you do it they'll mate and make V10 TDI Touaregs. Right?

all of the mpg's?

Had to sell that one too. Damn kids. I ran that one quite hard though and sold it with over 160,000 miles. Probably for the best.

Viking03 > puddler

Irrelevant.

no doubt, asking for dad.

I'm glad she has your approval. Just get VW to spring for it. Long term test mule research or something like that. You can park it next to the Veyron.

For a second I thought it was YOU selling it, and I panicked!

Noooooooooo :(

That's an '04? Very nice - well maintained.

Wasn't it a W8, though? Or was that only in the Passat, then choice of V8 or W12 in the Phaeton?

Viking03 > puddler

About 15 city, 21 highway.

Viking03 > Thunder

V8 or W12 in the Phaeton. This one is a V8. - I believe it is an Audi sourced motor shared with the A8.

puddler > Viking03
02/06/2014 at 16:33

not too bad as far as v8's go.

Thunder > Viking03
02/06/2014 at 16:34

Thought that might be it - the 4.2 displacement in the ad was a good hint.

Also, what's wrong with me?!? Questioning a fellow Jalop's ad on a technical point.

Viking03 > area man

Thanks. I always struggle with writing car ads. I end up writing all the flaws with a car and usually have a very negative ad. I have to remind myself to hit the selling points as well which feels a bit cheesy.

Viking03 > Brian Silvestro
02/06/2014 at 16:44

When that future comes, I will remind you of the mistake you made by not buying it now.

Brian Silvestro > Viking03
02/06/2014 at 16:47

Of course you will. Because no one will have bought it. I have nowhere to put it right now.

What a beautiful car. The color/rim combination is so classy. Only needs tan interior.

Nice car - want a write up on DailyTurismo?

Are you kidding? I'd never sell my baby.

Hence the panic

I miss mine a lot. A LOT. But mine found a good home late last year. Had mine for 6 years and approx 40,000 miles.

ciscokidinsf > Jagvar

Never say Never again my dear Jagvar! The math sometimes doesn't work. (sniff) But if I could, I would hold to it as long as possible. It won't be a 'rare' collectible as its plentiful in Europe, but is an amazing car.

Party-vi > Viking03
02/07/2014 at 08:22

Well that does it. I'm never having kids.

Viking03 > DailyTurismo

That would be great if my response isn't too late.

I absolutely love this car. I know I will miss it too. Sorry for your loss.
