With my Touareg being bought back soon I needed to find a new commuter car. I drive 30K per year, so MPG was important. While searching Autotrader I happened across a 2015 Passat TDI SE 6MT. The car was at a VW dealer in Las Vegas, about 4 hours from Flagstaff. It was a buyback car from Temecula, California with 26K miles. I drove the 4 hours from Flagstaff to Las Vegas with my 2500 and trailer today and brought it home.
The car is Fontina Red with the black interior. It has the three optional features I wanted most: heated seats, sat radio, and a backup camera. There are a couple minor scrapes on the front bumper, the rear bumper was repainted at some point and the left taillight was cracked, but otherwise its in great shape. I had the dealer replace the taillight (safety issue, no argument). I was pleasantly surprised to find the car had 4 new tires (Hankook, but new nonetheless), a new battery, and a new windshield. I was pleased that the original window sticker and all the manuals were in the glove box.
I got paperwork showing the 2year/24K CPO bumper to bumper warranty, 5year/60K CPO powertrain warranty, and the 11year/162K emissions warranty. I’m looking forward to driving it for a long time to come.
