Should I Buy A Passat?

SloMotion · 04-24-2013, 05:35 AM

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

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...

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?

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

)

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.

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