If you search my previous threads, you will see I bought this car roughly a year and a half ago. I had big plans to keep an updated thread going, but that quickly dissolved with a lot of my spare time. I started a venture into business ownership so it will be YEARS for me to get this car perfect. However, it does run like a top and function (until the next window regulator goes, or whatever little quirk pops up)

I have included an ad I placed on craigslist (this is very simple for craigslist sake)

https://siouxcity.craigslist.org/cto/d/volkswagen-passat-tdi-wagon/6768737459.html

I understand the Nice Cars TDI "falsehoods" if you will. The previous owners purchased from them, as has literally $10K worth of extra receipts to get everything dialed in. From here, I have another $3500 into extra repairs including all belts, starter and other various things. For any questions, feel free to DM or email me and I will provide a phone number. I can also provide accommodations (a place to stay) for anyone traveling to pick this up. It will get you home, anywhere, without a shred of doubt. :)

Nice B4V-I've always liked that color. If I didn't already have a B5.5V and a C5 Allroad 2.0L TDI, I would probably go for it. GLWS.

Details, details

You might actually save time for all interested parties, by putting a synopsis of car's maintenance history. Rather than doing so privately, a number of times.

It seems like response rates on the B4's is not what it used to be. When I joined they were snapped up often very quickly. Now they can languish unsold.

Since you have receipts in hand, this would be well worth your time.
Car looks nice, GLWS!

Agreed; it would be nice to know the history of the cars maintenance/fixes/upgrades

May be interested.

Thanks all that were interested & offered advice. The car sold for $4000, if anyone is looking to gauge value for theirs. I had 3 folks interested from different parts of the country, but the first looker took her. He only had to drive two hours luckily :)

Believe I could have held out for more, but the buyer had good plans and was very upfront abut everything. Plus, the driver window regulator I just installed was faulty (bad weld). So the car sold with the regular and window motor removed.

I just picked up a 2018 Golf Alltrack in Great Falls Green. Boy... what a difference. Still the Alltrack doesn't look near as stellar as the B4V. Such a beautiful car...
