I'm selling my 97 Passat TDi with 180k on it. Pictures at www.madrabbit.ws
The good: TC's all around replaced about 30k or so ago. Brake pads and rotors done about 15k. The car is rust free and the interior is clean and rip free. One year old alloys with good rubber. Brand new JVC mp3 CD stereo installed a month ago. Three new door handles installed at EVS in Milwaukee. VERY expensive but should be good for another bunch of years now.
I purchased it from another TDiclub member on Dec 06 for $6500 and just never used it. It was inspected at that time by Jason of JasonTDi, a friend and one of the best TDi wrenchs around but you all know that already. I purchased on his advice as he inspected it for another member who, for the life of me I can remember his name, Paul or John from Oshkosh WI.
I have been using Rotella synthetic since purchase, think I have one gallon extra. PO used Mobile1.
My sister needed a ride so after sitting in the garage for six months I loaned it to her to drive. She has driven it since about June of 06.
The bad: The injection pump seal is leaking and has destroyed the coolant hose that is directly under it so the coolant leaked out while parked.
Small scrap at rear wheel well, pictures coming soon on that and engine bay.
The drivers side window regulator is not working. The dealer was unable to fix after many attempts (EVS in Milwaukee) and I got tired of arguing with them.
I have a box of reciepts from the person I purchased it from and Jason has done (or helped me do) everything other than the door handles and window since I purchased it.
It needs a ballancer which I have already and will include with the sale.
Jason said car is worth $3500 but that was before I noticed the scrape on the wheel well which I think can be buffed, it is NOT to the metal at all. I'd like to get 3,000 and am willing to negociate as needed.
Please no low ball offers, I've been in the club a long time, I know these cars well enough. I drove this one a few months back and it is a very strong stock example with lots of miles left on it. I just don't drive enough to want to keep it (insurance for me in MKE is too high and was running me close to a dollar a mile considering I don't drive more than a 1000 a year now).
I don't check my PM that often but will try. Best to reach me via email at tony@madrabbit.ws. Car is located in Menomonee Falls WI (outside of Milwaukee) and I could arrange showings either by meeting you in person or answering calls while my nephew or sister actually show the car. I'm about 30 minutes away.
Thanks for checking it out, let me know if you would like more pictures and/or a number to reach you at to answer any questions.
