Nice car. Check the service records to see when or if the cambelt was changed.

Yes they do and the change interval is a bit vague.some say 75000 miles.some say 80000. That would infer the belt on that VW is due to have the cambelt replaced pretty soon, as it's at about 60K miles. Anyway at 2006 it's over the recommended 5 year change period, which is why it may have been done.

he's probably in shock as someone has started out by saying they want one. Means he doesn't have to use his standard spiel convincing them to go euro.

Nice colour combo, and leather, bit of wear on driver's seat but ok. Try and crunch them a bit though being so close to 100k ;-)

Doesn't Jazz usually say check where they are imported from! - Something about dodgy parts only being available in some countries. :)

See Jazz, OP is asking for opinions on a Passat. No one is jumping up and down screaming and trying to convince him to buy a Camry. You should learn a lot from this thread.

Good. That's something you don't have to worry about. I'd get Qualitat, Penrose to take a look over it if you wanted an opinion you can trust.

Interior looks a bit tacky but overall not a bad looking wagon. As per intrade, hopefully not a scary dsg
