Sold 2005 Passat Sedan 5 Speed DUK in Minnesota

[TPW]

This Passat has 340K miles, Balance Shaft Delete Malone 1.5 with EGR delete (but system is still there). Whitebread SMF with Clutchmaster FX 250 clutch. I have driven this car 20,000 trouble free miles since the swap and timing belt waterpump service. I purchased the car with the Balance Shaft Delete, but I don't know if any other updates were done when that was installed. Even though it is a Minnesota car there is next to no rust. More photos with Borbet Wheels and Michelin tires available on request. Asking $4,700

Since nobody jumped in with an offer, what do you folks thing would be a better asking price?

Sorry, I'd be interested if I was closer

Im sure "next to no rust" is on buyers minds. Any rust is a killer for most people.

This is a Minnesota car. Even though I don't see any rust if you look hard enough you might find some. But there is no corrosion like there is on my GMC pickup. I can push my finger through the bad spots on it.

Bump. I'll be driving this car down to Missouri next week near Warsaw if anyone around there is interested.

Any further info on maintenance history? Oil changes? Cam wear?

PM'd

No big surprise though. After the new owner drove it for 20 miles he called me and said the car lost boost and he got the Emissions Workshop warning on dash. Lucky he had it in a heated shop so I drove up there and scanned it and got the 16683 code. He was able to drive it back in limp mode to my shop where I could check out all the vacuum functions. I couldn't find anything obvious and the car went into limp within 30 seconds so I swapped out the N75 for the one in my Golf ALH. Now the Passat works perfect, but he odd thing is that so does my Golf. I can't say I'm sure what the problem was or is.
