Should I buy??? 07 Passat Wagon 3.6L 4motion
Hello All!
Posting here just to see people’s opinion. There’s an 07 Passat wagon 3.6l for sale near me and they’re asking 3200. I’ve been watching the listing for a couple weeks, they were initially asking for 4300. It ticks my boxes as it’s got a relatively unique engine (VR6), it’s AWD, and it’s a wagon/estate which are are inherently cool 😎. It’s got 128000 miles on it, 1 owner, and service records seem ok on it, no accidents either, and at least from the pics there’s no rust. I’ve already got two vehicles so this would be purely as a for fun vehicle. I’ve done a little bit of research and they seem to be mostly reliable but with a couple fatal errors in some cars, namely the improperly torqued/fastened oil pump bolt in some that comes loose and destroys the engine. Theres the typical European wiring/electrical issues that come up too but that’s not too concerning for me personally.
What are people’s thoughts/opinions? Is it worth it? To me it seems like a steal especially for this market, even when they listed it at 4300 I thought so. Does anyone have one? If so are there annoying problems thatve plagued you? And does it take 87 or 91 octane?? Thanks!!!!
