KennyFKINPowerz Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Traded the Yukon in today for a new DD. The Yukon was killing me on gas every week so I needed something a little more fuel efficient. I was always a little scared of Carmax but I have to say that the Sawmill store took really good care of us and trated my antsy 1 year old like one of their own. Really good experience so far with them. I am not a big fan of the color but the comfort and driveability of the car mixed with all the features made the color insignificant to me. I actually said no when the sales lady showed it to me on the web. When I seen it in person and sat in it I changed my mind. 06 VW Passat 2.0T 70K I have to wait on my owners manual to arrive so I can figure out how to work all of this shit. Ill get some interior pics up tomorrow when its not raining. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg203/jallen_100/2011-11-20190652.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg203/jallen_100/2011-11-20190704.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 you're probably just used to the high dashboard in the f-body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The color is Artic Blue Silver. I just got off the phone with VW and the camshaft follower is covered under warranty until 2015 along with the crankcase vent valve and the trans valve body is covered until 7/12.

If you are refering to the maint items, those are the things that shpuld have been replaced by his mileage based on vw recommendations. Its pretty certain most regular owners aren't doing the correct maint period. If you were talking about the engine part, the 3.6 in the passat is known to blow the engines. There was a revision afor 2009 I think, but still not worth the risk imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
