ebay motors search results for VW Passat 1998-2005

Dallas Metro Search - 75 mile radius
Cars Trucks | eBay

Houston Search - 75 Mi radius

I did a little research that may help you get the most bang for your buck
The 100 most reliable cars of the last decade (in order)
30 Most reliable cars of the last two decades | Diminished Value Car Appraisers
Decade’s 10 most reliable cars | Craze for cars | Crazy Cars | Expensive Cars Wallpapers| Fastest Cars| Funny Cars| Car Riddles | Magazines
Consumer Reports names most reliable cars - (1) - CNNMoney

Both sites are from different years: Consistent top 4 value
Honda Accord
Subaru Forester
Mazda MX-5 (Miata)
Toyota Yaris

If your not too concerned with cost i would go with this

My advise, wait until the divorce is final and see what you can afford. Divorce never favors men.

Damn homie - Ima hafta put you on the payroll! Of course, and I apologize in advance, but due to Obamacare I will not be able to offer health care at this time and you will be limited to 25 hours per week...

It's getting better, but yeah, men get screwed. Thankfully my soon-to-be-ex is not motivated by money, which is a good thing, 'cause I don't have any.

I think I'm down to one of the following when I finally do pull the trigger:

1) Passat
2) Altima
3) Camry
4) Jetta

I'm sure it'll be a matter of a combination of price, features, and miles - definitely want low miles and 'certified' if possible. Found a few that have been in accidents for low prices...a bent frame is just what I need...

No Sir you will not. I can not afford to be on another payroll. I will however accept your tax ID so I can claim the charitable time

I would go Camry out of that list. I am not a fan of Nissan, and your going to pay more for a German water pump than you will for a Japanese water pump...

SmashMouth · 04-17-2013, 07:12 AM

I found a few more fine "pre-owned" examples ...

Citroen 2CV ... a Classic for sure.

saintfan · 04-17-2013, 02:12 PM

Or what about this here Volvo?

SloMotion · 04-17-2013, 05:14 PM

Cars, cats & Zoey ... this thread has it all, eh?

.

In regards to your list, I don't think you can go wrong with a Camry & I knew a young lady once who had a Jetta and was really happy with it, but I'd lean toward the Camry, if the Volvo deal falls through,

TheOak · 04-17-2013, 05:21 PM

Oh! He is buying the Volvo? I thought she was driving him around.
