This 2003 VW Passat runs and drives good. It has a few minor issues though, including an oil and transmission fluid leak. The oil leak is at back of engine which causes oil to leak onto the exhaust manifold. This is common issue with this vehicle (just search Passatworld). It's most likely due to a valve cover gasket / cct gasket that needs to be replaced. I have the gasket kit from Blauparts that will be included with the car. It also has slight damage on rear bumper and trunk from being rear-ended last year. There are a few dents and a cracked tail light cover. See pictures below. The accident report will show the vehicle was towed. This was not due to damage to the car but rather because I was taken to the hospital for back/neck pain. I picked the car up later that day and have been driving it ever since. I've driven several rounds trips from Augusta to Boston without issue. I put about 1/2 quart of oil in every 400 miles and was fine. The transmission leak is fairly slow but will get  low after several months of driving. This causes some hard shifting. I replaced the transmission filter and fluid  last year but couldn't find the leak. It ran smoothly for several months after that but is low on fluid once again. Features include power locks, windows, and remote entry. Includes two working key FOBs. A/C and heat works. Cruise control works. Cruise and radio controls on steering wheel. Leather interior. Moon roof. 1.8T engine.  Automatic tiptronic transmission.   The timing belt, water pump, belts, and ignition coils were all done within the last 5000 miles. Clean title. Sold as is.
