Here's a nice 2001 Passat Wagon. The car is in good shape for its age. It is very roomy yet sporty. It has been my wife's daily driver for the last year and a half, but we've decided to look for something that is a little less powerful and a little more fuel efficient. We installed the OEM LATCH child seat lower anchors in the back seat, and the car is still equipped with the OEM Monsoon radio and 6-disk CD changer. We have maintained the car well, including a new timing belt at around 100k miles, tires, batteries, overhauled ABS module, and a new electric cooling fan. I have saved records for all of this and more. We had a new key fob made when we purchased the car, so two are included in the auction. Here are the non-critical items that we have chosen not to fix, just because they weren't bothering us:The driver's seat leather is torn on the left sideIt sounds like there is a vacuum leak (hissing after shutdown)Radio LCD is intermittentRed center information display (shows driver messages, average MPG, etc) occasionally shows partiallyThere is a small oil leak coming from somewhere- too small for us to bother troubleshootingThe plastic cowling piece is cracked and missing a few small piecesSometimes there is a groaning in the steering systemThere is a scratch on the black panel just behind the driver's window on the driver's door (see pics)As you can see, I want to be completely honest about the condition of the car, because it doesn't do either of us any good for you to come pick up the car and find it to be described inaccurately. In return I ask that you read the description carefully and bid only if you are a serious buyer. The car has a clear North Carolina title in my name, but please be advised- NC titles require a notary on the seller's signature. This can be a big hassle if you intend to pick up the car outside of regular business hours. I can't sign the title until it has a buyer's name on it, and I can't put the buyer's name on it until after payment. So option one is to pick up the car during business hours, and accompany me to a notary after purchasing the car. Option 2 is to pick up the car outside of business hours, write your name and address on the title, and leave the title with me as you take the car away. In this case, I will send the title to you after I can get it notarized, at my expense, via a tracked shipping service. In any case, I will cover the notary fee.
