It has been fantastic for me and a pleasure to drive. I have been the sole owner and I assure all interested parties there have been no accidents. Also, if you are familiar with 2002 Passats, you'll be happy to know this vehicle has been fully serviced with all VW recommended maintenance thru 100k miles including timing belt replacement and cooling pump replacement. Currently, the exhaust sounds a little louder than usual, suggesting a new muffler is required. Also, the dash shows a "check engine" light which has been identified by VW Service as requiring a first-stage oxygen sensor replacement. I am including the oxygen sensor part, however, I currently live too far from a dealership/service center to reasonably submit the vehicle for service. Therefore, cost of parts and labor for replacing the muffler, and labor for replacing the sensor, will be the responsibility of the auction winner. VW also recommends replacing the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal to resolve a minor oil leak. I am not including parts for this as, in my opinion, the leak is too minor to require maintenance. Cost of parts and service for replacement of the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal will be at the discretion of, and at the expense of, the auction winner. I estimate the brakes will need servicing in the next 15k miles. The tires are mid-life with another 30k miles of expected use under normal driving conditions. Finally, the Homelink panel for garage door opening/closing has come loose from the visor and requires replacement. I have always used a separate system, but if you like or need to use Homelink you may want to consider this. I do not have estimated costs for any of the above. I have made every effort to fully disclose any issues with this vehicle. I think if you are looking for a good, reliable vehicle for a low price, this will be perfect for you. Please consider this vehicle for auction AS IS. There is no warranty, expressed or implied. Now you know everything I know about this awesome little sedan, except for what it's like to drive... I hope you get to find out. Good luck on your bid! On May-18-13 at 07:50:30 PDT, seller added the following information: This vehicle has never been smoked in!
