Really nice car! I like the white color with the dark tent...very sharp.

I wish I was in the market as this would be mine in a heartbeat. I will be shopping in about 2 months as I need a bigger cruiser and I really miss my old wagon.

For your sake, I hope it sells quickly but for mine I hope it's still available when I'm ready!!! ;)

Take care.

Agreed. The white is lovely.

Slightly off topic, but can anybody tell me who makes that back bumper loading area protector?

Very nice! Our Passat was recently rear ended and totaled and I miss it. I am telling myself we don't need another one to replace it as I have vehicles that I can drive. But that sure looks nice?

IIRC, member gerwazy imported those from the UK as a group buy. Dont know if they are available anymore.

Thanks, I've always been fond of the color as well!:D
Bumper cover by RGM rearguards- I got a group buy together back in 2010, but NGP is now the US distributor: http://www.ngpracing.com/newstore/rgm-rearguards/

Now I can let the cat out of the bag. This car was rear-ended and sat for a while hence lower mileage. I sourced a white bumper and hatch from an '03. The left quarter was reworked and most would never notice until pointed out. RT quarter not repainted.
A small detail that may blow your mind is that the earlier wagons had the wiper seated on the left while the later '04-05's were normally stopped on the right- bizarre.

Should also add this car was in FL until I purchased in '09 and has seen very little winter driving due to my AWD cars doing the dirty work.

Any questions- ask away.

All TDI's - No gassers! Luxo-Tourer = 13 Passat (hands down, the nicest car we've ever owned), Most fun = MK4 Golf
do you have any pics of the damage before it was repaired?

thanks,
