    Default B5 Passat

    Anyone got one?!?
    I'm in the market and wanna get old( jetta or golf), but wife says it's gotta be new!!
    If anyone..
    What are your likes and dislikes?
    Are the motors powerful enough for all that weight?
    Any common problems that I should know about?
    1.8T vs. VR6?

    Thanks for any help!

    I'm looking at this one...it's in Winston-Salem, NC. The fella wants 14,500 for it. Is that a fair price?

    It's a 5-speed GLS (sunroof, power windows, mirrors, door locks, heated seats etc.) with a bit more than 39K miles, in great condition. Just put on more than $1,000 worth of Koni Adjustables, Neuspeed Sofsports and new Bridgestone Potenza tires. Lots of factory warranty left. The color is reflex silver with grey leather, Monsoon sound system option. I'm located near Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

    Here are a few pics:

    thanks man!
    Have you had any problems with your car?
    Do you have any idea why the value seems to depreciate so much with these cars?

    Join over on www.passatworld.com or www.thepassat.com and just search around for a while. That is what I did and you learn alot of stuff about it.
    My car has had minimal problems. Nothing major though.
    Depreciation, not really sure on that one.
