Good bye, my friend. [View all]
We've spent 17 years and traveled 128,488 miles together. We did not have a great start. I hit a *&*^%$$## deer the night I took you home from the dealer. You made up for it though....the best, most comfortable vehicle that ran like a champ.
But.....it's time to go.
I need your floor space.
I really don't need 2 vehicles to live with. Inspections, registrations, oil changes...it's too much.
I garaged you winters and counted on my 4wd Dodge truck to get me up the hill....sorry, you really couldn't be counted on.
But look on the bright side....I gifted you to my 18 YO nephew. Oh. he's gonna love you now. Best prepare for a lot more exercise, sweetheart!
On edit: 2007 Passat, 2.0L Turbo. 35 mpg hi-way (6th gear). Except when I was driving Boston traffic (like the SE Expressway) - 5th gear with great reaction to a 4th gear shift.
2nd edit: There are a few "minor problems.
* Front driver seat - minor wear - needs a decent covering.
* Lumbar adjustment unattached, can be used to adjust.
* Top right tray jammed shut
* Rear seat 1/3 panel frozen, up, in place.
* Bondo required in the front driver side panel. Bro says nephew is up to the task.
Nothing else wrong, really. Carfax tells me it's worth $1380.00 on trade in. To nephew, it's a $7500.00 - and soon-to-be-classic vehicle.
