2005 VW PASSAT TDI GLS WAGON B5.5 Awesome inside/out Leather Loaded

Up for auction here is a very well maintained VW Passat GLS TDI (Diesel) Wagon (B5.5) with 132,XXX miles. Great condition. I’m the 2nd owner. I have had it for 6 years was never a daily driver as we have 2 other cars we use for work that we split the mileage up with. It was just detailed inside and out. No kids, pets or smoking in this car ! Most importantly the timing belt, water pump and balance shaft module was replaced at 90K. If you are in the market for on of these cars (VW B5 TDIs) be sure you ask if this has been done. Otherwise you will be facing a $3,000 repair bill. But don’t worry about this one because it has been carefully taken care of.

It was just detailed inside and out ($300 value). I kindof don’t want to sell it now. But alas we need something abit bigger. This certain combo of “Stonehenge Gray” (I know VW Paint color name) and tan/beige leather interior is very attractive and hard to find.

Carpet shampooed, Leather conditioned, paint waxed, everything. The car looks pretty close to new. The only thing stopping it from looking perfect is from when a cab lightly backed into me at the airport afew years ago. An accident report was filed for insurance/payment reasons. It only chipped the paint on the front bumper (see photo). Otherwise no dents or dings, paint is almost flawless, headlights are nice and clear/clean. The passenger seat has a tiny cut the with of a fingernail that has been there since I owned the car (see photo)

Consistently gets mid 30’s MPG. Sunroof, 17” alloy wheels (2 have some curb rash-see photo), New Tires, 2 Key Fobs, leather steering wheel, leather seats in excellent shape, wood grain dash and shifter, power steering, power windows, ABS braking, traction control (can be turned off with a push of a button if you wished to do so), power door locks with keyless entry, theft deterrent system, winter package (heated front seats, heated power mirrors and heated windshield sprayer nozzles) also included 4 snow tires (not pictured) in excellent condition mounted on steel wheels, 2 sets of floor mats (black VW custom Passat rubber ones great for rainy/snowy climates and regular carpeted ones that match the interior), Monsoon premium audio system with controls on steering wheel, Cruise control (also with controls on steering wheel), digital outside temperature gauge, 6 airbags (dual front, side and curtain, AC that blows cold and stron, Heat also works perfect and of course the original owner’s manual is included.

Recent Maintenance history: I can provide a more in depth listing. And I can hand off all records to you upon final sale. But just know all the regular maintenance to this car has been done. The front wheel alignment, all 4 wheels balanced was done less then a year ago when the tires were replaced.

Known issues:

1.The tiny light bulb that lights up the climate control knobs needs to replaced. There are videos on youtube that show you how to do it. Looks like a very simple 10 minute bulb replacement . Only involving pulling off the knob and putting the new bulb in.

2.Rear drivers side door does not power lock. It has to be manually locked and unlocked. I believe this to be a simple door lock actuator that needs to be replaced. Once again a simple repair that Youtube has instructional videos on. And I believe the door lock actuator part is under $100.
