Hi!!
I have an opportunity to purchase a 4-motion W8 Passat -- 2003. This car is gorgeous, all the fun stuff. I currently have a Jetta TDI and love it! But my family is growing and the little Jetta doesn't fit us all anymore
I realize that this car is a much bigger engine, but if anybody has an opinion on this model, if it would be a wise purchase, what to look out for, all that stuff I would so appreciate it.
It has 50K on it, drives nice, interior is immaculate. I have a very good friend who is a car dealer that owes me a favor, so I have the opportunity to pick this up around wholesale price.
Any opinions, advice for me? I am going to miss the MPG of the Jetta, but I was certainly cringing when diesel was running almost twice as much as gas. Does this Passat only take premium gas? That would be a deal breaker for me. I do like the idea of the AWD, as I live in a very snowy climate. I do have a jeep I use when the weather is bad, but would be glad to have a vehicle that I wouldn't have to worry about in bad conditions. The Jetta is pretty useless in snow, even with the blizzak tires.
Please let me know your thoughts!
Evie
