zeitgeist57 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) EDIT: I will likely be moving the car down to FL instead of selling it. If I don't by March, I'll put it back up for sale. Thanks for the interest, everyone! Gauging intadest in selling, as I'll likely be picking up a car in the next couple of months. 2000 VW Passat GLX - 175k one-owner miles. 2.8L 30valve V6, 5-speed manual, every option that year except for CD changer in the trunk (it's 2014…LOL @ CDs, amirite?) Wife bought it from MAG in May of 2000 after graduating college. GOOD: - Sunroof, heated leather seats, Monsoon stereo, PW/PL A/C in great shape. - Awesome highway cruiser. Easily do 85+ and it just hums along. - Timing belt/water pump/thermostat done by Sean @ Northend Wrench last summer. Less than 5k miles since then. - Newer Milestar tires from Derek @ TireDiscounters. Less than 6k miles on them. - Gently modded: K&N air filter, Eibach springs/Bilstein shocks, 18" wheels and tires, tint. BAD: - Leather is cracked in backseat. Comes with a full LeatherSeats.com interior package to reupholster the entire car. - Rust starting to show around drivers' rear wheel well. - Was rear-ended when it was only 4 months old (09/2000, not even 3k on the odometer). That was over 172k miles ago. Needless to say, no issues. - Heater core is plugged up. Car is pretty chilly in winter. Needs a core back flush per PassatWorld recommendations (common problem on older B5 Passats). - Some dings, paint cracks on back bumper, but overall the car still takes a shine pretty well. - Coolant leak in radiator, some oil leaks repaired but still a drop somewhere on occasion. This is a surprisingly big car on the inside and trunk that's great for any parent with a couple young kids. Holds even rear-facing car seats easily while roomy in front for 6' adults. Looking for $1800, as CarMax will offer me just a few hundred under that. I'll clean the car and get some pics once it gets warmer. :thumbup: Edited January 20, 2014 by zeitgeist57 Change of plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ever had the clutched replaced? Yes. Did it myself with a Sachs kit @ 105k miles. Aaron helped! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
