PLEASE make sure that when you buy a B5.5 Passat TDI that the BSM has been taken care of. I love these cars and HATE seeing them in the junkyards due to owner negligence.
This car spent most of it's life commuting from College Station to Houston 4 days a week along with being the main vacation car for road trips. My 3 kids don't really fit in the backseat without too much arguing so my wife and I decided to sell the Passat but only after we were sure it would last another 160k miles. I love these VW TDIs and never wanted to sell it but I can't justify 3 family cars on insurance when the oldest kid won't be driving for at least 8 years.
The outside shows a few minor scratches/dents. The biggest one was caused by an errant golf ball and is on the driver side front fender. I have included a close-up picture of it and it is about 1"x2". Our Passat is 100% ready to go and I would hop in and take it absolutely anywhere without hesitation. If you aren't familiar with the TDI VW cars beyond the crap in the news, his one does not fall under the current EPA cheating scandal.

If you want different or more specific pictures let me know and I will email them to you. I work graveyard shift so it may take me a bit to get back to you.
A $250 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit via PayPal is due within 24 hours of auction close. The remainder is due via bank issued cashiers check or cash in my hand within 7 days. If it is a cashiers check it will be verified prior to allowing the car to leave. The buyer will receive a bill of sale, clean Texas title, nd a Texas DPS form 130-U if the new buyer is going to register in TX. The buyer is 100% responsible for arrangement of shipping or pickup of the vehicle. I can pick up or deliver as far as the airport in Austin, X but the timing of it will have to be scheduled around my work.
