WTB: 09-10 TDI w/Air Suspension

Hi folks, I'm new to this club, but have been lurking for a while. I'm looking to purchase an 09-10 Touareg TDI with the following options:

Lux limited w/wood or w/metal
Premium Technology w/DynAudio (would consider the regular Tech package too)
Towing package
Air Suspension - This is a must. I will not consider a Touareg without this option so please don't try to get me to buy yours if it doesn't have it [-X I don't want to waste your time or mine.

Colors in order of preference:
Campanella white
Sapphire blue
Galapagos metallic

Mileage isn't too big of a factor, but the lower the better. I have a couple of TDI Passats with some miles on them (1 with 292k) so I know the engines last if taken care of.

I'm not a big fan of Craigslist / Ebay and would like to purchase one from an enthusiast who takes care of their vehicles or through a dealership. CPO or an extended warranty would be a plus but not a deal breaker.

I have cash in hand and am willing to ship across the country if needed. I'm pretty patient and will wait for the right one to come around. I know I'm limiting my options by being so selective, but I know what I want.

Thanks for helping me in my search and I hope to be a contributing member soon \\:D/

Welcome to the forum, just an FYI in North America both the lux limited and air suspension on the v6 tdi's were only available in 2010. Good luck with your search!

mmm, that's an even smaller needle in the haystack..rooting for ya to find something, that was my original want until i settled on my 08, when i was looking to buy i was only able to find 5 regs for sale in the country with AS

Sales figures show their were 4713 regs sold in 2010, i waonder how many were equipped with AS

Finally got one!

I picked up a very clean 2010 TDI Galapagos Gray, lux limited, premium technology (dynadio), towing package, with wait for it...4 corner air suspension! :D

I flew out to Hartford CT this past Sat and drove it home. I can't believe how well it handles and how nice the ride is. The air suspension makes all the difference in the world!

Congrats!
When will we see some pictures?

If you don't mind, where did you find it?

I'm from the Hartford area...

I bought a 2008 t2 with air from this forum back in May and loving it

Was it a dealer, private seller?

Look out for rust and salt ingress around the air suspension... That calcium chloride spray crap they're using now kills cars around here in ct.

Lube it up with grease b4 the winter hits. Not sure if your previous owner did this or not.

Mine was luckily from ga and garaged in the winter...

I purchased it through Coventry Motorcar in Coventry CT. They are a used car dealer specializing in Audi's, Porsche, BMW, & Mercedes. The previous owner traded it in and purchased a Porsche Cayenne diesel they had on the lot.

Thanks for the tip on the air suspension! I looked all 4 the other day after reading your post and there doesn't seem to be any signs of corrosion.

Does it have halogens or xenon's? Hard to tell from your one front pic of the car. Seems most of the lux limited for what ever reason came with halogen headlights.
 
#28 ·
Xenon's. I can easily see the balasts mounted on the side of the headlight housings. I believe that the AFS II option is only with xenons, right?
 
#29 ·
That is correct, that year with Xenons has the AFS II, just like my 08. Nice feature
 
#34 ·
That one in the link I8ABUG posted doesn't have xenons. That is the weirdness I have seen with most of these Lux Limited ones. It even has ACC, but no xenons. Makes no sense why they were ordered in that way.

Did you get a Lux Limited I8ABUG? Did you get your V10 sold or is this in addition to your V10? I think you will like the mileage better, you my miss the 100 less ft lb of torque though or maybe not.

How can you tell from the Pics it has ACC?

I'm content with the stock power on mine. I don't want to jack with mileage with a tune. I know some say it can be better, but I know I would probably have my foot in it more negating the savings. :)

A VW dealer I know did some research, and said there were 192 '09/'10 Touaregs with Air sold in the US.

Get if fixed and you should be fine. Mine fortunately went out while under factory warranty. I have had no issues since getting it repaired. I still don't think my adblue fill warning works. I have never seen it since I have owned mine. :)

Probably, but I hate unexpected repairs that now are taking more than a week. And it seems that when the first domino falls...

Plus my wife wanted a Volvo gasser, which she now is giving me "the look" ;)
