Having a hard time locating a Passat near me with the 6-speed manual. I currently have a 2012 Jetta and would like to add another, larger, TDI to the fleet. Everything near me has the DSG.

Thanks.

Located in Kentucky.

"Blurple" 2000 New Beetle 5M 2006 Jetta has been SOLD
The 6M NMS Passats were never given an official "fix" during the scandal and ensuing buyback. The DSG cars were, but NOT the manuals. This is likely why you're having such an issue finding one. The ones "sold back" were destroyed b/c of a lack of fix. I know of only one that was kept by the owner through the buyback. He received no compensation from VW aside from an emissions check all owners got no matter what they did with the car. I haven't seen another. Finding one of those is going to be looking for a needle in a haystack. Best of luck!

My 2015 6mt was bought back, fixed and released by VWOA to a dealer who I bought it from. Don't know where you are getting your info deenginner kid, but it's incorrect. Maybe true for the 12 and 13 but for sure not the 14-15 cars. I'm sure they can be found.

She is correct. No fix for 2012-14 CKRA manual Passats. 2015s are approved. And that is why they are so scarce.

Yeah, she just didn't specify that the 2015s did infact get a fix. The CKRA manuals did not.

I do have a customer that still has his... got no money from the settlement because he kept it. Has over 300k on it now... He might have kept it due to my encouragement and general enthusiasm that that particular engine/transmission combo may ultimately be the least problematic over time and the long distances he travels of the commonrail 4 cylinders.

Wow...I didn't know that either. To the OP, you may want to consider buying...anywhere. I bought my 2015 over 1000 miles away cause I missed my 2013 so much. I still miss my 2013. I may be selling soon idk...

Well this makes complete sense now!

No kidding! I had a 2015 Passat SE TDI with the 6MT that I sold back to VW. I absolutely loved the car. The space and power were fantastic. Don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoy my Jetta. But...the interior space was fantastic on the Passat.

Northern Vt source for 6sm TDIs (dealer)

Ladies and gents,

VW dealer (purchases come with certified = 2 yr/24k warranty) that regularly stocks '12 through '15 TDIs in 6sm as well as A/Ts. Full disclosure: bought '15 manual Golf S w. 26k in '17, put 40k on it, and sold pvtly. and replaced with GSW 6sm S with under 15K (14,850) in Feb. 2020, so now have 2 yrs/24k dlr warranty, a back-up camera, start /stop/no key button, and 115 v plug.
Dealer (check their inventory of 20+) is Shearer VW of South Burlington, Vt. Salesperson's name upon request...could be the new Chris Farnham…
as salesman said purchasers fly into Burlington airport and he picks them up, just like Philly in the old days...
Who else has manual wagens and Passats?
Excelsior,
