Not mine, perfect little family hauler if you ask me

Hello, Up for sale is our 2001.5 Passat Wagon. It has 120k + on the odometer. The good: This car has every option imaginable. Dual power and heated driver and passenger seats; leather; heated and electronically retractable (rare for this model) side mirrors ; sunroof; fog lights; cd changer; full size spare; perfectly tinted windows; Thule roof rack (while I do not have the keys, it is an easy thing to have them replaced). The bad: The car is currently not running. A broken radiator hose has crippled the car and it has a flat left tire. There are other issues here and there, but that's the major thing. Left muffler may need to be fixed soon or at least the flex pipe (that's cheaper to do). Overall: When the car was running, it ran well. Good power, quiet, and all electronic components worked. Radio is fine. Sunroof is fine. All windows and motors are fine. The car runs great. Engine is fine. Timing belt was replaced around 90k, so thats fine. New right side muffler, so that's fine. Has passed all emissions so just take the title and certificate to DMV. There is some hood blemish on the front right of the car (see photos below) but nothing major. Scratches and such here and there, but overall she is solid. Put a little money into it to fix the problems and you'll have a far more valuable car. Reason for selling: Not that it matters, but to be clear, I would - and want to - keep this car. The color, the options, the power...everything about this car is awesome. But reality has set in, we are in need of a minivan. With 2 toddlers and a 1 month old baby, it's a little cramped in the back. It isn't a total loss as someone will gain a great car that, with a little extra, will be amazingly fun to drive.

A little rich if it is a V6 that may have overheated... Audi engines = not cheap

I've never seen a B5 Passat without power retractable mirrors, so it certainly wasn't a rare option.

Looks like those pictures were taken over a fairly long period of time. The first picture shows tinted windows, there's no center caps in the second one, it's in a different location in all of them, and it's certainly not sitting in a parking garage as the description would suggest.

That V6 isn't to bad to work on. It's not in there sideways so head gaskets wouldn't be that big of a deal. I'd pick it up if I had the extra moneys laying around and wanted to drive to atlanta.

I'm glad it recently had a cooling system flush
