Used Volkswagen Passat for Sale

This car has been a nice ride for me these past few years. It handles well and is comfortable to ride in and drive. The legroom in the back seat is so-so, but I've only been driving kids around, so it hasn't been too much of a problem. I like having the large cargo area, since I haul around a lot of stuff (sports equipment, groceries, luggage, etc.) with me. That said, it has been very expensive to maintain. Many parts have gone out on it, including the driver's side seat heater, which would have cost $1,500 to fix! Luckily, I'd purchased an extended warranty to cover this. It requires premium gas as well, further adding to the cost of operating the care. This car has the 1.8L turbo engine, which has had serious problems with sludge and requires synthetic oil to operate (more $$!). I would definitely check into the sludge problems when buying this vehicle, as it could cause the engine to completely fail if the car has not been maintained correctly.

I love the style of this car. Both the interior and exterior are so sleek. The leather interior makes it feel like I paid more for it than I did. I also love how smooth the drive is. I have driven the vehicle 34,000 miles and have not experienced any major problems. That includes a cross-country trip. The trunk and backseat are both very spacious. I have moved twice with this vehicle and the space provided for moving boxes and even furniture has been a big help I wasn't expecting. I especially enjoy the audio features provided to me. I can listen to the radio, CDs, through an auxiliary cord or through Bluetooth on my phone. The Bluetooth is a major bonus for me because I make a lot of long trips so this allows me to easily listen to music or make phone calls. The steering wheel features buttons that make it very easy for me to make and end phone calls.

I absolutely love my car. Its high quality, great on gas and gets complements all the time. Its completely loaded. There is a sunroof. It has automatic controls for everything. The sound system is manufactured by Monsoon and it puts out a great sound. The tires are a strange size and considerably more expensive than one would anticipate to pay. That's actually an overarching quality about this car. The parts are expensive. The engineering is different from American or Japanese made cars. This was the last production year in which Volkswagen used authentic AUDI parts. The car is (was) rock solid mechanically. It shows all age appropriate wear but shows it really well and I would like to believe this car will last me another 100k miles. Currently has 150 k on it with no major problems. All of my issues were age appropriate and have been remediated
