SOLD: 2005 VW Passat TDI wagon (wi/sunroof)
$3500
I love this car and have driven it 105,000 miles (I'm the 2nd owner).
It has 261,000 miles but I’ve rebuilt many of its systems since purchasing it in 2014, including installing a VW factory-rebuilt transmission/TC in late 2016. It uses very little oil and has been diligently maintained with routine service and factory spec oil changes every 5,000 miles.
Improvements I’ve made (This is a short list. I have the complete repair records):
Heavy-duty aluminum skid plate with oil-change port (Thor from Evolution Imports)
BSM delete
New brakes and booster (Spring 2016)
Factory rebuilt transmission (Nov. 2016@ 230,000 miles)
New heater core and coolant flange (2016)
New windshield (2016)
New timing belt/water pump (2017@ 245,000 miles)
New tires (Michelin Premier@ 250,000 miles)
New alternator (2017)
New mass air sensor (2017)
New headlights/RRear taillight (2017)
New thermostat (2017)
New MAP sensor (2018)
New in-tank fuel pump (2018)
New N75 valve (2018)
Bluetooth stereo with iPod and XM radio interface
The car will need motor mounts and a left axle replacement soon, and the horn is out--as it has ESM I suspect the clock spring. The right rear passenger seat belt doesn't work. The exterior looks very good: no rust, one ding in the front passenger door that didn't break the paint, and some scratches on the roof that are not visible. Other than that, nothing is urgent.
I’ll go over the details with you if you’re interested and I've posted a complete set of photos on DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2lq6nmb5m9dg3wm/AACqTNHFMPMr8h5YTKfowUR6a?dl=0
