decisions

Just picked up a 2014 SE a couple of weeks ago. I got it for $9999, a low price IMO, but there's a catch: the PO apparently liked to park it under trees with low-hanging branches, so I put money aside for a respray on the rear bumper and trunk lid. it also has 81K miles, a lot for a '14. My '05...

Just recently bought this 2001 1.8T Passat, 110k miles. I want to upgrade things on it, but not sure where to start. Those of you that have been successful with yours, what would you do? I know I'm getting new headlights & taillights as far as exterior appearance goes. But even performance...

Have not posted often, but have read for a long while. I have a 2000 Passat Wagon fwd auto V6, leather ,monsoon.. Has 165,000 on it, had it from 35,000~. Body is fantastic, mechanicals showing its age, but it still drives nice. Was going to be my daily driver after we got wife a 2008...

Hello. My car info is listed in the title, from what I understand that makes it a B.5.5. I'm not mechanical but would rather not sound ignorant. Four months ago I walked into my garage to find the floor covered in oil. The mechanic stated there was oil in the coolant. He said he would...

So this is my current first choice http://www.duraflexbodykits.com/19982001-volkswagen-passat-rs-rear-bumper-duraflex-p-21422.html its going on a black passat which will have all painted lowers but before I buy it I'd like to know what else is out there. I've seen a total of three options so...

Finally got the windows tinted, and now I'm second guessing my choice for wheels. I think I've got it narrowed down to just 2 options I really like, and was looking for other opinions. Of course, if anyone is a photoshop whiz, feel free to throw them on there for me so I can get a better look...

So I'm about to hit 120k and decided I might as well change the TB since my thermostat is seized open (and its very cold outside...:banghead:) I'm having a hard time deciding where to get my kit from, I think I've narrowed it down it down to 3 or 4 different places: Choice # 1...

I am so lost right now, looking for a fun/beater/winter car its going to be a vw budget is 1500 for the car. i've been all across the board, mk3, mk2, jetta, golf, B4 passat vr6, gti, gli. i have no real direction that i want, i am an MK3 guy at heart, girl is pushing me to get an old skool MK2...

So the day has finally come. The 98 B5 is finally showing it's age, the engine still runs, but I think the cam tensioner is going out, it makes wierd noises randomly, and the interior is just starting to fall apart. The air conditioner vent in the middle is gone, the trim is deteriorating, and...

I hope this is in the proper forum... Well, I'm new here and am in the market for a nice quality used vehicle and figured the people on this site aren't dummies and drive nice cars :biglaugh: and maybe I can get a little insight and opinions. So please, tell me what you think. 2001 BMW 530...

Alright so I'm down to my 3 picks for rims i would like to get wondering if anyone could possibly Photoshop in what they would like on my car. TIA. I'm also planning to do a 35% or w.e the legal limit is here in good old CT all around. but here are my 3 choices: 1: 2: 3: And heres a side...

Well my fiance and I have a 99 Ford Expedition that we are ready to get out of...not a big fan of Ford. We do want to stay in an SUV but not as big as the Expy. So we test drove the T'reg, Lexus RX330, Jeep G Cherokee, and Toy 4Run. The 4run probably best buy and most versatile not happy with...

I am in process of negotiating an 05 passat gls FWD auto sedan. Local dealer has located a white with anthracite leatherette within 400 miles. He's offering 22,377 -534 credit for esp/cold pckg. = 21,843 I am confident I can get this for 21,377... or another local dealership has an 04...

Well, some of you may remember that I used to drive a 2003 GLS V6 and then had a car accident. Well, I'm gearing up to start saving for another car and I'm trying to decide what I want to get... y'know, put a wallpaper on my computer to remind me why I keep working and not spending any of my...

I know many of us are constantly looking at parts for the B5 or B5.5, and now I am stuck in a 'tug-of-war' between different products. Every year I like to spend my tax refund on myself, and this year it is going to be my biggest ever, so i have been think of the following: - Forge Blow-off...

Allright, I am about ready to put a turbo on my 02 Tip Variant (as opposed to that hair dryer that is on there now). I am debating on which Garrett GT turbo to go with - the 28R or 28RS. Looking at the numbers, the RS will certainly flow more air, but does come on a little later (500RPMs)...

I'm thinking of an exhaust for this summer on my car but i want something that isn't very loud but has a decent power gain. I heard and drove briefly a Jetta VR6 with a Borla and i liked that tho i didn't get ot drive it at highway speed so i wasn't sure if there was droning at that speed. I...
