1996 VW Passat TDI Station Wagon, 1 owner from new. Low miles: 200 tkm/ 125 K miles.
Mechanical Description:
For those well versed in B4's the following is common knowledge but for those that haven't had privelege of owning/driving a B4....
These are very desirable cars. Loads of room. Very reliable. Cheap to maintain. Long life if cared for properly, as this car has been. There is also a wonderful support network for B4 Variant fans here and other websites. They hold their value exceptionally well. The only unfortunate thing about these cars, and this is subjective, is the fact that they're very rare especially in this fine condition.
