THIS 97 VW PASSAT HAS THE CLEANEST, MOST THOROUGH MAINTENANCE HISTORY I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A CARFAX REPORT TO DATE! IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BOTH MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY! IT HAS NOT ONLY THE VR6 BUT ALSO LEATHER AND A SUNROOF AS WELL! THE CARFAX IS SUPER CLEAN! IT SHOWS ONLY 2 OWNERS, NO ACCIDENTS REPORTS, IT HAS A RECORD OF OIL CHANGES EVERY 2500 TO 3000 MILES ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND IT NEVER FAILED A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION, A SIGN OF GREAT MAINTENANCE! THE PASSAT COULD NOT RUN AND DRIVE ANY BETTER FOR ITS YEAR AND MILEAGE! THE MOTOR IS STRONG AND IT RUNS SMOOTH, WITH NO SMOKE AND NO LEAKS! THIS PASSAT OBVIOUSLY HAS A FEW MILES ON IT, 190K, HOWEVER ITS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED, IT RUNS AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL, AND THESE VR6 MOTORS ARE VERY GOOD MOTORS! I WOULD NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT IT! THAT SAID, THIS PASSAT DOES RUN AND DRIVE AS WELL AS, AND EVEN BETTER THEN MANY OF THE 80 OR 90K MILE CARS I HAVE DRIVEN! A VERY STRONG RUNNER WITH NO DRIVABILITY ISSUES! PERFECT MOTOR, CLUTCH FEELS GOOD AND TRANNY SHIFTS SMOOTH THROUGH THE GEARS! IT HAS NO SERVICE LIGHTS ON, NO FLUID LEAKS, ALL THE OPTIONS SEEM TO WORK WELL INCLUDING THE SUNROOF, AND IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD VERY WELL, FREE OF ANY MAJOR RATTLES, SHAKES OR VIBRATIONS! JUST A GREAT RUNNING CAR, NO RUNNING ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES, AND GREAT OVERALL DRIVABILITY! THE BODY IS FREE OF ANY RUST OR LARGE IMPERFECTIONS! A VERY NICE LOOKING CAR! THE INTERIOR IS IN DECENT CONDITION AS WELL! IT HAS A IMPERFECTION ON THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT THE PAST OWNER COVERED WITH ADHESIVE, OTHERWISE NO RIPS, TEARS, BURNS, STAINS, AND NOT ANY REALLY HEAVY WEAR! IT HAS FULL POWER OPTIONS BARRING SEATS, TILT WHEEL, A/C, AM/FM CASSETTE PLAYER, DELAYED WIPERS AND MORE! THIS WILL BE A GREAT, INEXPENSIVE, DEPENDABLE PASSAT FOR THE NEXT OWNER FOR MANY MORE GOOD YEARS AND MILES OF SERVICE! GET A GREAT DEAL, ON A VERY NICE LITTLE CAR, HERE WITH MY SHORT, 3 DAY, NO RESERVE AUCTION! PLEASE READ BELOW AS WELL AS MY PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BIDDING! THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK! ATTN: WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE COUNTING ON OUR PICTURES AND OUR VERBAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS VEHICLE, AS IT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO GO ON, AND WE PROMISE TO DO OUR BEST NOT ONLY TO DESCRIBE THE POSITIVES OF THIS ITEM, BUT ALSO TO DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL DEFECTS THAT WE FIND ON OUR INSPECTION/TEST DRIVE (WHICH WILL BE DESCRIBED NEXT), AS WELL AS ANY "NOTEWORTHY", OUT OF THE ORDINARY COSMETIC IMPERFECTIONS AS WELL! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT A "NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION IS DIFFERENT ON ALL VEHICLES, AND YOU MUST HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS, THAT COINCIDE WITH THE YEAR AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE YOU BUY! A NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION IS A BLEMISH THAT IS MORE THEN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO FIND ON A COMPARABLE VEHICLE! DESCRIBING NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTIONS ON A 2009 BMW WITH 12K MILES, IS MUCH DIFFERENT THEN A NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION ON A 15 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK WITH 165K MILES! SO WHILE WE DO OUR BEST TO DISCLOSE ANY "NOTEWORTHY" IMPERFECTIONS OR DEFECTS, WE ASK YOU TO HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS THAT COINCIDE WITH THE VEHICLE YOU ARE BIDDING ON! ALSO A NOTEWORTHY MECHANICAL DEFECT ON A 10 YEAR OLD, 100K MILE VEHICLE IS NOT A SUNVISOR THAT DOES NOT CLICK IN PLACE CORRECTLY, OR A RADIO PRE-SET BUTTON THAT DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT NIGHT, WHILE A POWER WINDOW THAT DOES NOT WORK OR AN A/C UNIT THAT IS IN-OP WOULD BE A "NOTEWORTHY" DEFECT! SO AGAIN, PLEASE HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS, REALIZING THAT YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE ITS SMALL SIGNATURE ISSUES, AS WOULD A SIMILAR VEHICLE OF THE SAME YEAR AND MILEAGE! THESE VEHICLES ARE SOLD IN A 3 DAY, NO RESERVE FORMAT, ALWAYS SELLING FOR WHOLESALE OR BELOW PRICES, SAVING YOU THOU$AND$ OF DOLLARS IN MOST CASES! THE INSPECTION THESE VEHICLES RECEIVE IS: A VISUAL INSPECTION LOOKING FOR LARGE IMPERFECTIONS COSMETICALLY ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR< A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE MOTOR FOR FLUID LEAKS OR OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD BE SEEN BY THE EYE! WE DO NOT LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND UNDER NEATH THEM OR GO AROUND THEM WITH A PAINT METER GIVING YOU THE THICKNESS AND THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PAINT ON EACH PANEL! WE DO COMPLETE A THOROUGH WALK AROUND SO WE COULD DISCLOSE ANY RUST OR LARGER THEN NORMAL IMPERFECTION, THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE YEAR AND MILEAGE! THEY THEN GET A 20 TO 30 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, BY A 18 YEAR VETERAN IN THIS BUSINESS, WHO AGAIN WOULD DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES OF SUBSTANCE, SUCH AS IN-OP WINDOWS OR A/C, MAJOR BRAKE PULSATION, ETC, ETC...! AGAIN, WE DO NOT PUT THEM ON A LIFT AND PULL ALL THE TIRES OFF AND INSPECT EVERY PART IN THE CAR! SO WHILE WE WILL DISCLOSE ANY DEFECTS WE FIND ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED INSPECTION, WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT THE ITEM HAS ALL NEW PARTS AND NEEDS NOTHING, WE ARE ONLY STATING THAT WE FOUND NO FLUID LEAKS, OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS, THAT WERE NOTICEABLE TO US! SO AGAIN, WE STRIVE TO GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION, BUT PLEASE YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH ANY SIMILAR VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE DESCRIPTION! LASTLY, PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT FULLY PREPARED TO COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION! PLEASE CHECK INTO THE SHIPPING COST, YOUR FINANCES, SPEAK WITH YOU SIGNIFICANT OTHER IF NEEDED, AND IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO, OR IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ABIDE BY THEM! THIS IS HOW WE FEED OUR CHILDREN AND PAY OUR BILLS, IT IS NOT A SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT TO BID AND THEN BACK OUT! IT IS TIME CONSUMING FOR US, IT IS COSTLY TO US, AND IT IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE NOT A FAIR AND STANDUP WAY TO DO BUSINESS, AND I WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO FEED YOUR CHILDREN, SO PLEASE HAVE THE SAME RESPECT! IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER WITH 0 FEEDBACK I WILL NEED A CONTACT # FOR YOU IF YOU ARE HIGH BIDDER ON MY ITEM JUST SO WE CAN TOUCH BASE! I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU WHETHER YOU HAVE 0 FEEDBACKS OR 1000, JUST A POLICY I HAD TO PUT IN PLACE AFTER MANY NO PAYS FROM NEW, 0 FEEDBACK WINNERS! SO NOTHING PERSONEL, JUST A POLICY! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
