This nice little car has been driven mostly highway miles. We have tried to keep our vehicles in great mechanical order. That included repairing the cigarette lighters that went out. The outside looks very good for the age of the car. The interior does have stain from grandkids. but I did purchase VW OEM interior seats with limited wear from another Passat that a dealer put leather seats on. These come with the vehicle. I was quoted around $600 to remove and replace all. We have just too many cars. This would be a great work car or kids first car. Since VW are European they are far more strict with their sensors. so a VW with no lights means it is held to a higher standard than US cars.
