Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I was just about to reply... "You started with 2, now you have 12"... Not exactly the sort of insight you expected?

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Oh no. That's not it at all. I started out with two, only now, thanks to this thread, my heart is set on "The Mystery Mobile", and I'm afraid nothing else is going to do...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

You can never go wrong with this.

I know you are concerned about cost, doors, efficiency, etc... Are you not you going to be SINGLE also?


This will be a lot cheaper than strip clubs.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

If you should decide to go this way, w/o the navigation and sunroof, you can get one for about 23k out the door. Just so you have a price point.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

AND I'm soon to be East bound and down. Oh the irony boggles the mind!

Yep. Was just looking at those. And then I found a 2009 Passat, Cobolt Blue with 47k on it for under 15k and my heart stopped...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Welp...

I've juussstttt about talked myself into a used Passat. If anyone has any strong arguments for or against, now's a good time...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

if you plan on working on it yourself, have fun - buy bandaids and all the special vw tools and brush up on your swearing. dumb crap breaks on them routinely - really only argument i have. (i.e. ac compressor at 10k miles, alternator at 25k, both FWD cv axles by 40k...total bs IMO. dad had one when i was in high school, i hated that car after about 2 years.).

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Well that's a buzz kill. LOL

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

hah sorry man, just not a fan. plenty of people are, however.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I know. Therein lies the drama. People love them...or they hate them. They are "very reliable" or "they suck". Color me confused...still...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Just went by dealer yesterday... They are offering lifetime mechanical warranty... Engine, transmission, etc... Yikes.. Tempting me now... But not as nice as the Avalon. The Touareg, otoh, i was drooling a bit. I will have to wait on that one.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Would a one word answer help?


Ok


Maybe

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I would think that as long as you get it painted the right color ... say, black & gold with a fleur ... even the most hardcore of detractors would approve, :mrgreen:.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

You continue to suck...LOL

Now there's some truth to that actually, only I'll be in Dallas and somebody, Michael Irvin maybe, would surely steal the rims...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Got my eye on this one.

2010 - 14k - one owner lease 5k a year. All the whistles and bells with the I4 Turbo instead of the I5 in the newer ones.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

That will not last long. You seem to have a touch of the bad luck with women... You will fall flat in love with a girl in Dallas only to lift that skirt and find the has on Dallas Cowboy panties.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

You sir, are a genuine buzz kill. A destroyer of fantasy.

Now, for what it's worth, I purchased a Passat. I'll post a pic or three soon for those interested.

2010, 25k miles, Komfort, Black ext and int. Probably the nicest little car I've ever owned. I think Zooey will look quite nice in it too. :-)

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Congratulations!

I prefer "beacon of reality". :P

You bought the only color a vehicle should come in. Damn fine job!

Pictures!

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Can't go wrong with only 25k miles on it, does it have the diesel?

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Sadly, no. Those TDI models or whatever they're called are simply out of my range, even used, unless they've got nearly a 100k on 'em, which for the diesel is child's play from what I'm told. Still, I just wasn't comfortable buying a car with that many miles on it -- but I really would have liked the diesel. Maybe I should have checked this lottery ticket before I bought. I could already be rich...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Alright. Since so many of you thugs chimed in, here are a couple pics of the car I bought. A 2010 VW Passat Komfort. Me thinks it's a good lookin' car, and it's got more bells and whistles than Rodman has tats.

Sleek! But not complete.

Should I ship you something with a fleur de Lis on it?

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I'm hoping a lawnmower is next? LOL!

Good looking ride.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I know, right? I've got the mower - it's just a matter of time...

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Where ya going to put it? (Please do not say dash:confused:)

This is Tejas and we sport front and read license plates.

While I have used the argument "i am not putting holes in this car" for my SS and my CTS-V, you having that Saints license plate on the front is going to get you a ticket just out of spite.

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

In 10 years in Texas I never had a front plate - I'll just continue to defy the man. :-)

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

Congrats on the purchase. Is she still running?

I've been away, what did you buy

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I had one

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

That's just why I didnt steer you near any of em. The underground resistance is still alive and kickin ;)

Re: Should I Buy A Passat?
 

I bought a used 2010 passat with 25k on it. It's a very nice car. I got a fair deal on it and it's a bit less to insure than I originally figured. I have to put 91 octane in it, so that hugs root, but otherwise I'm pleased. It handles better than any car I've ever owned - 4 doors but feels a bit sportier.
