Hi All, I want to thank you for the support you have provided for my passat. I was able to purchase an awesome vehicle by studying issues with some of these vehicles. Now. After 3 years it is time to sell my baby. I just hope someone can really appreciate her. She is a 2000 v6 wagon with a standard transmission. This one is pretty clean and I looked for a couple of months before I found this car. For me the issue is maintenance. A fellow is coming over to look at it tomorrow and hope he is not looking for his grandfather's oldsmobile. Cause this aint it!
