Hi folks,
As you can see I am new here but I have been lurking for quite a while as I have been looking to purchase a TDI. I finally found what I think might be the one but now I am getting nervous.
Here's what I am looking at: the car is a 2004 Passat TDI GLS Wagon with 78k miles. Vehicle is in excellent shape with all service records but has NOT had the timing belt replaced and has NOT had the balance shaft upgrade done.
My question is whether this is a good vehicle to get knowing that I will be dropping 3k+ very soon on the BS and TB, or should I just look for a TDI Jetta, or should I save another year and buy a new (or slightly used) sportwagon TDI? Price was listed at $12500 but I offered $11000 based on the upcoming services.
I really appreciate any input you folks can give me.
Thanks,
Taylor
