so yeah we went to look at the avalon, but the guys weren't there so we went to the place for the acura 2.5TL, drove it some, then the guy showed us a car at his friends lot across the street, we drove a 99 maxima and a 2000 passat.. we ended up getting the passat (1.8T), it's sweet as hell, i'll get pics up in a while

 

eww i hated our passat, but good luck with yours

 

My mom's Passat (99 in fact) has been a sweet driving car that's been full of maintenance issues.... seriously the turbo that's in that thing is a total POS that's on it's second time blowing

 

severly underpowered but they look nice :dunno:

 

thank you


teach your mother to drive


power seemed fine to us, it's my step dad's he doesn't need a 300 hp beast

 

i wouldve waited to try the avalon. they are really nice cars

congrats on the buy tho

 

oh we did try the avalon a few times, and tried like 5 different ones

 

It's an automatic that's driven by a woman who always follows the speed limits, and has developed her way of driving the Passat to get maximum milage...


The car's very purty and solid, and quite fun to drive, BUT the amount of money she's had to sink into that machine is silly

 

It's dark out, but that's it it looks clean without the VW badge in the front and the passat badge in the back

 

KBB value is about $15k, we got it for 9k, another reason why it was such a good deal for us
