1999 Volkswagen Passat GLS V6 Sedan Up for sale is this 1999 VW V6 Passat. The car is in good condition, rides and handles well, and has been a great car to own. It has been in no accidents, and is caught up on maintenance and has most of the costs associated with a used VW already taken care of: New Timing Belt, Water Pump, Idle Roller, Tension Roller at 97,000 Miles. This is a $1400 job that every interference engine driven volkswagen needs. They have a tendency to break when not changed, if youre looking at Passats and Jettas make sure its been replaced in the vehicles lifetime. New Spark Plugs, Plug Wires, and Battery purchased in June 2010 New silicone high temp vacuum lines and new radiator. Unfortunately after replacing all these items in the car it was the victim of a smash and grab. The radio was ripped out as well as parts of the bezel and dashboard. I have replaced the dash and bezel, but the car is still missing the radio. The radio wiring harness *seems* to be undamaged, but I have not been able to put in a radio to verify this. Since the theft the vehicle has been in a "limp" mode, where by the transmission electronically limits the car to second gear only. I was told by a mechanic that this is most likely the result of the transmissions control wiring being damaged as it is located right underneath the area that was ripped out during the theft. I do not have time to fix this as the car must be gone by the end of the week, but if you want to come inspect it feel free to do so. That being said, the vehicle is still driveable, but it is slow to accelerate and I have not taken it over 45 mph since this mode was activated. Besides that issue the only other issues with the car are a few scratches and marks here and there (see pictures), weak A/C, a broken hood release (you have to fiddle a bit once you pop the hood to open it), and some stains on the rear seat upholstery (see pics). I am more than willing to work with a vehicle shipper or a local buyer, however the car does need to be picked up no later than 1PM August 5th. Ive sold my house much quicker than expected, and need to have everything out of it by that date for the next owners. If you can not pick up the car by that date and can find a storage location close to zip code 60622, I can move the vehicle there at your expense until you can pick it up. $100 paypal deposit due within 24 hours of auction end, payment in cash, paypal, money order accepted.On Jul-31-10 at 10:21:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that I have 4 extra tires and 3 extra alloy rims for the car (4 if you count the spare).
