Used Volkswagen Passat for Sale

I absolutely love my car. Its high quality, great on gas and gets complements all the time. Its completely loaded. There is a sunroof. It has automatic controls for everything. The sound system is manufactured by Monsoon and it puts out a great sound. The tires are a strange size and considerably more expensive than one would anticipate to pay. That's actually an overarching quality about this car. The parts are expensive. The engineering is different from American or Japanese made cars. This was the last production year in which Volkswagen used authentic AUDI parts. The car is (was) rock solid mechanically. It shows all age appropriate wear but shows it really well and I would like to believe this car will last me another 100k miles. Currently has 150 k on it with no major problems. A... (more)

Story

I like being able to jet around the traffic in my area. I live around people that like to drive slow. Its nice to have a car that allows me to tear by them on a whim.

Pros

The trim level is outstanding. I'm almost certain the interior is vinyl. This makes it easier to clean than leather. It has all of the same appeal as leather despite it not really being leather. I absolutely love having a sun roof- Its a way to cool the car off a little quicker. I commute a long distance so there are certain key factors that I will list next that are all essential for the comfort in a long commute. The sound system is great. There are a variety of inputs for media. There are also controls that allow me to adjust bass, treble, etc. for best sound. The car handles extremely ... (more)

Cons

Parts are expensive. The car is hard to work on- There was a time when it took 2 minutes to replace a part that took 30 minutes to locate and 2 hours to disassemble/reassemble to replace. There are subtleties to the German engineering that most people scratch their heads over when working on the car. The tires are an odd size and also expensive. There are certain things about Volkswagen that are notorious and bound to happen. The glue on certain electrical panels - for example- drivers window/lock controls has popped out of the hole without reason. I haven't mentioned as of yet that this c... (more)

2013 Volkswagen Passat - In love with this car

I love the style of this car. Both the interior and exterior are so sleek. The leather interior makes it feel like I paid more for it than I did. I also love how smooth the drive is. I have driven the vehicle 34,000 miles and have not experienced any major problems. That includes a cross-country trip. The trunk and backseat are both very spacious. I have moved twice with this vehicle and the space provided for moving boxes and even furniture has been a big help I wasn't expecting. I especially enjoy the audio features provided to me. I can listen to the radio, CDs, through an auxiliary cord or through Bluetooth on my phone. The Bluetooth is a major bonus for me because I make a lot of long trips so this allows me to easily listen to music or make phone calls. The steering wheel feature... (more)

Story

I live in Arizona and my brother and I often take my car out into the desert, about 30 minutes away from our house to look at stars. We park where it is very dark, get out and lay on the hood of the car and look at the stars or meteor showers. We leave the windows rolled down a bit to listen to music while we watch the sky.

Pros

One thing I find great is the gas mileage. In a 6+ hour trip I have been able to fill up my gas tank just once at the beginning of the trip and make it all the way to my destination on that tank.

Cons

One thing I don't like is how the CD player functions. It isn't very intuitive as far as changing out CDs. I often find it takes me longer to change out a CD than I find ideal. This discourages me from using the CD player.

2013 Volkswagen Passat - Awesome car

I bought a 2013 Passat about a year ago. I had done a lot of research prior to buying my car, and felt it was a good car to own and rely on. I have not been disappointed. I love the zippy speed of my car, and its surprisingly comfortable on long road trips. It has a sporty feel, not just a typical family sedan. Although I would like to have bought a Passat with a few more upgraded options, such as leather seats and a sunroof, I still love my car. The salesman at the dealership were so helpful and nice. They put no pressure on me to buy my car.

Story

I don't have a fun, memorable story about my car. Its utilitarian, its gets me where I need to be.

Pros

I love that it has a sporty look, over other family sedans. I also love that it accelerates, and its quite fast. I love the boxy shape, and my particular color on the outside and inside. It has plenty of room on the inside. In fact, its a lot more roomy than by just looking at it on the outside.

Cons

one negative I would say is that I just wish I had chosen a model with slightly more options. I would really say that is a con, but a poor decision on my part. I wish it had leather seats, the upgraded radio and sound system, and maybe even a sunroof. Again, that is my fault for buying the lesser model. Another con would be the lack of the windows defrosting. It's very temperamental. It has to be on a very specific temperature for the windows to defrost.
