I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this site for making my 10 years with my passat as painless as possible. After 10 years and 110,000 miles my once new passat has seen better days. I just traded her in for $3,000 for a chevrolet Cruze econobox. With the trade in, $3k gm points and $1k...

Hi Everyone! I said goodbye to my 03 Passat yesterday. I traded her in on a 2011 Tacoma 4x4. She was a good car while I had her. Fun to drive, looked great, handled okay, was pretty quick after getting the APR upgrade, I just felt like I fell out of love with her even before that "stolen"...

Trading in my 02 1.8T with 150K miles tomorrow for a BMW twin turbo 335xi. Exciting, but I'm sorry to see the ol gal go - has been a great car all these years. Thanks to everyone here, for all teh great advice that helped me keep this car going for 15o,ooo miles !!! Good luck with your vehcles...

I just wanted to thank you guys for being so welcoming and helpful during my time in MD. My first two years of Passat ownership have seen alot of changes to my ride, and your help and support have made alot of it possible. I am still going to be active in on PW, but the Navy is sending me down...

Well after 10 yrs of ownership, and a little over 100k miles, the Passat is now officially out of the family. My wife drove it for the first 8 years, and then we gave it to our daughter. This week, she traded it in on a brand new 2011 Kia Soul +. The Passat has had its share of problems over...

So I hate to leave the VAG family but its time for me to move on! Everyone on here has been a HUGE help when it came to fixing my car but It's time to move on to something more reliable and new. I'll be picking up a 2010 Accord coupe tomorrow. The passat is up for sale and hopefully it goes...

Traded in Bluey today, my 2000 Indigo Blue Metallic 1.8T with 5 speed, Neuspeed Chip, Audi Sport Wheels, and Eibach suspension (purchased new in 2000). She was still proudly sporting her old school "Club B5" stickers 'til the end. We traded for a 2010 cc 2.0T with 6 speed manual. Reflex...

Hi everyone. Some of you may have heard of C3cars and maybe its untimely demise but I figured its time to move on. My name is Mike and I have two 2000 B5 Passats. A black 1.8T and a Colorado red 2.8. I'm a mechanic in Vermont and have extensive Volkswagen experience. I'm anxious to help out...

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/RallyVermont/Doug2.jpg Today at 4:30 pm, some dude with a sweaty wad of cash will drive off into the sunset with my car. This is my farewell to the forums here. Even though the replacement for this car is a white 2001.5 GLX (with 30k miles) I won't be...

Traded it in towards an '08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara w/hardtop. My GLS was a great car and she will be missed. Expect to see some upgrades on the classified side of the forum soon. Thanks!

Hey guys, I am in the process of selling my passat and would just like to say goodbye. I got it about 2 years ago, bone stock, from my mom when I turned 16. Shortly after that I found this forum, saw a couple modded passats, and then began burning all the money I made. This forum has been...

Its time for me to move on, Its been 6+ years with the Passat... Actually it was my first car ;) Its sorta sad, almost like losing a friend. at least she was replaced by a worthy successor... To all of you PW guys, it has been a pleasure. thank you for all these years of good advice and...

Serious mixed emotions here.... And before you ask, I don't have pictures yet. However the time has come to get rid of a Passat.. Sniff. I need a vehicle to tow a boat and the Passat is NOT that vehicle. We did keep it in the family though - and bought an 08 Touareg. Our first Passat was...

Well, all good things must come to an end. My 2000 Passat GLX 2.8 V6 115k miles was great when I was single and had time to mess with the car. 5 yrs later, I've married, have a 2yr old and expecting a 2nd. So, its time for a SUV. I considered a VW Touareg, but if my Passat was any indication...

Well, after some unfortunate events, they turned into good ones!! I have recently upgraded to an Audi S4. I'll still hang around here, but not too much. On to the pics of the new ride after a great car Sunday!! Thanks for lookin!

As some of you may know from my other threads (Elusive Oil Leak and CEL Catalytic Converter Below Threshold bank 1), my car is just too much of a money pit. It wasn't taken care of as well as it should have by the previous owner, and it no longer makes sense to throw $700/month into a car that...

Well after 7 years of ownership, now at 180,000km (112,000mi) and being faithful to the dealer world, I have finally made the move to a local VW/Audi Indy shop. I was always leary of an indy shop and their knowledge and availability of parts but I couldn't be happier with my recent service...

Passat was totaled last week. Someone ran a stop sign, and was cited as at fault. Their insurance (Guideone) gave me about $6,500 for the 99 V6 automatic with around 100,000 miles. I am pleased with the settlement amount, and as a whole this company was pretty easy to work with. There are a lot...
