I've only owned this vehicle since the end of May when I purchased it from UPSBroke (original owner). It's an absolutely fantastic vehicle with zero issues. I am in the process of changing jobs and I will no longer need the Passat. It will end up sitting for periods of time so it is best to let it go. Therefore, I'm hopeful that someone here can make good use of it and give it a good home.
Since my purchase I have changed the oil/filter and swapped out a faulty Auxiliary Cooling fan. I installed a Pioneer AppRadio2 and have the rear hatch prewired for the addition of a subwoofer. The A/C blows very cold and everything works as it should. No tears or wear spots in the seats. A little bit of the rubberized coating is coming off on a couple spots of the console but otherwise everything is in great shape. The vehicle currently has 99k miles and has an RC2 installed. Heated leatherette seats and ESP are two options you may not be able to see in the pics. Zero rust and zero oxidation issues. The headlights had a clear protector installed over them and look as good as the day they were new. I keep all mileage recorded in a book and I average between 35.5-38mpg depending upon condition. It has been very hot in Texas lately so my mileage has been hovering around 36.5mpg.

I recently retired and moved to Kansas. Since I have 4 vehicles and no job to drive to-It's been decided to sell my wife's 2005 Passat tdi wagon that currently has a bit over 92k miles. It's Reflex Silver in color with a gray vinyl interior.
Before you ask- the BSM retrofit was done by Brian at Car-Doc in St. Louis on 09/09/2009 when it had 63,941 miles on it. At that time- besides the BSM- the timing belt was replaced along with the water pump and drive belts, tensioner and roller. Motor mounts were also replaced and alternator pulley updated along with replacement of outer cv boots. To finish- the transmission was flushed, oil and filter changed and a new set of Michelin HXMX4 Pilots installed and balanced. The bill at Car-Doc for the Passat was $4593.13.
The body is in near excellent condition. It has worn a Colgan bra for nearly it's whole life so there are very few marks on the front bumper. I took pictures and have shown several marks on the lip of the rear bumper cover.
The engine oil was changed with correct 505.01 oil by my local VW dealer until the 50k warranty and then I took over oil changes- also every 10k but I also changed the filter at every 5k miles between oil changes. I did also recently replace an air charge hose to the tune of $300+.
Interior is gray vinyl which is near perfect. The only interior flaw is where the shifter vinyl cover was scuffed and repainted by the dealer. It is again scuffing where my Sirius is connected at the cigarette lighter.
This is an extremely nice car and I'm asking a fair price of $15,900 and I'll be fairly firm on that price area. It is a one owner car that's body has absolutely no non-factory paint. I also have the original window sticker and dealer brochure along with almost all service receipts. If you are interested in a Passat tdi Wagon that has no issues and needs nothing- send a message through this forum or email me at XXXXXXXXX. If you have any questions or concerns- feel free to ask!
I have $500 into the stereo and wiring as well as $150 for the auxiliary fan. I am asking $15250 for the Passat.
