2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 Wagon 4-door 4.0l Exterior Candy White; Beige Interior on 2040-cars

Five Speed Tiptronic Transmission!  In manual mode you will just be shifting out of second gear as you pass 60 MPH!  No problem merging with traffic! This unique Passat W8 has had only two owners - both with no children.  The present owner is a meticulous retired airline pilot who has spared no expense to keep everything in perfect condition.  When professional refinishing did not remove 100% of the headlight lens haze, both headlights were replaced with factory new ones, at $500 each.  Front brakes were just replaced.  Rear brakes are fine.  This car just passed the NH state inspection.  It comes with EIGHT brand new tires (less than 5,000 miles on them), one set of original VW alloy wheels and one new last year set of wheels & winter Michelins from Tire Rack - all wheels road force balanced. VW requires full synthetic oil and recommends oil changes every ten thousand miles.  I have had the oil changed every five thousand.  It has a trailer hitch which has only been used to mount a bike rack.   It has only been serviced ONLY by certified Volkswagen and Audi technicians.  It has never seen a Jiffy Lube or a McDonald's drive through.  No food has been eaten in this vehicle! In the three years that I have owned it I have only carried a passenger on two occasions.  The leather steering wheel is in almost mint condition because it has had a cover on it most of the time.  I just bought a new set of VW Monster mats at a cost of $99 - only because there was a small hole in the driver's mat.  Always garaged!  Other than two and a half years in New Hampshire it lived its earlier life in sunny Dallas, Texas where it was also garaged - so no sun damage.  Many luxury features like headlight washers!  Lots of parts from the Audi parts bin in this unique vehicle which originally listed for almost $40,000. Unlike later model wagons and SUV's the bottom of the back seats are hinged at the base and fold forward, providing a protective barrier between driver, passenger and any cargo. VW recommends premium fuel, which I have used.  However, it will adjust to and run on lower grades. With EIGHT cylinders the acceleration is smooth, vibration-free and awesome.  On cruise control at interstate speeds of 65-75 MPH it averages 26-27 MPG which results in a range of over 525 miles!  Note actual computer calculated range in one of the photos. Further than Boston MA - Washington DC!
List Price when new:  $39,275.00   All service records available. This car was ahead of its time safety-wise, with stability control and side curtain airbags!
