2003 VW Passat W8 wagon with 4-motion all-wheel drive. Blue exterior with grey leather interior. 18" VW Phaeton wheels with top of the line 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires with 1/2 -3/4 tread remaining. Wife has new vehicle so the Passat has to go. Currently has around 118k miles on the ODO and runs great. Air conditioning blows cold and there are no mechanical issues with the car what so ever. I have recently, within the last several thousand miles had the ignition coils replaced (VW recall) and installed all new spark plugs. At around that same time I had the valve cover gaskets replaced and spark plug tube seals done due to a common issue of them leaking into the coil chamber. The serpentine belt was replaced (fun job) and the front torque strut mount upgraded to much better designed poly bushing approximately 4k miles ago. I replaced the brittle plastic pcv hoses with rubber vacuum lines. The headliner was starting to sag above the rear cargo area and that has been recovered in VW specific material within the last 6 months. Front brake pads replaced several thousand miles ago and have purchased the rear pads just have not found time to replace. Details on the car:This Passat was purchased around 5 years ago as a Certified VW with around 65,000 miles on the ODO from a VW dealer in Austin, Texas. I went through the research to find a Blue W8 wagon that had the VW recommended Cam Tensioners replaced and found this one had just been certified and came with a 2 year/24,000k mile extended warranty being that it was being sold through VW's certified program. The engine had been pulled and the cam tensioners replaced right before being put on their lot. I paid top dollar at that time because it was exactly what I was looking for even though it was going to be my wife's car.This sweet ride drives as good as it looks and drives like a dream due to the all-wheel drive and sure footedness on the road. Powered by a 4.0L 8 cylinder engine the W8 has 32 Valves with variable valve timing and produces 273 ft-lbs. of torque @ 2750 rpm and 270 hp @ 6000 rpm. The 4-motion and the German construction make this car drive very solid and corners as if it were on rails. Everything works on the car and I would list the overall condition as very good. The Bad:Roof needs to be painted as the clear coat has peeled. The rest of the car paint is in very good shape and looks great for a 10+ year old car. I have received a few quotes of around $500 to have this done from local auto body shops.Rear drivers side tail light has a crack in it.I am willing to listen to offers but not willing to give away. The car is also being listed locally
