Member draco76 might be interested-he had 2 TDI's get pummeled by hail the other day. One thing that will need to be addressed by the new owner is the timing belt-changed @ 170k in '05,now has 239k-9k past the interval(60k belts),and some people recommend 5 yr.intervals if mileage isn't reached. Some people may also frown on the greasecar setup,but to each their own. The TB job is around $500 for the B4-take that into consideration when an offer comes in.

1996 Passat Wagon TDI (B4V) with approximately 139k miles on engine (installed new at 100k) and 239k on the body. 5 Speed Manual and gets low-to-mid 40's/~1100 miles per tank. Religiously maintained as documented by service records, including oil/oil filter, fuel filter, and belt changes. I am the third owner and have all the maintenance records since she was bought new. She's located in the Adirondacks. We moving up to a Eurovan camper, despite the enormous size of this wagon.

-Dark Green (good shape with no peeling; 2 small areas of bubbling)
-Tan cloth interior (good shape, except for small rip on driver's seat)
-Cruise control
-Central Locks
-Power Windows
-Two sets of tires (winter and summer) with 2-3 years of tread
-Roof rack

Quirks
* Moonroof only works manually (needs new fuse, common issue)
* Driver's side window slightly off-alignment (common issue ... window reg was replaced in 2010; minor fix)
* Sometimes trip odometer and time resets (another common issue)
* Slight bubbling rust on driver's side windshield and fender (small and could be easily addressed ... surface rust).

Asking $6499 or best offer. PM me if you have any questions.
My driver side window has slightly-off alignment too and was thinking to replace the whole regulator, can you suggest how the easy fix is being done?

I have the same car thanks in advance!

Grease car set-up? Newbie here. Is this car set up for that? Not seeing it in the listing.

Sylvia: PM'd you back.

Wine Country ... only one .... Sonoma County. ADK is Adirondacks, where the wagon is. Google works wonders for abbrevs.

Window fix: Mine was simple (changed clips) .... not sure what's is causing your's, but regulator may be necessary.
