This all day! “little issues”, “easy fix”, etc are total red flags. This car has some skeletons in it’s closet that will come out and wreck the new owner’s day.

Crack pipe all day, every day and twice on Sundays!!
And Anson did this all in his garage by himself!
As a husband, and dad to 3 teenagers, I daily drove a 98 Land Rover Discovery. 8 mpg ( if lucky), slow, tall, and even at stock height/stock tires, wife needed a step stool to get in the front seat. My youngest took a running start to jump up to the rear seats (they sit almost 6" higher than the fronts). btw, this was…

I LOVE the slingshot! It’s such a fun ride, totally opposite of “low key” and while it LOOKS like it’s going to be harsh/brutal to drive, it’s actually very well mannered until you don’t want it to be. It handles stop/go traffic with ease, long cruises in comfort, and hooning with grace. They can be fitted with hard…
These also have a smaller “interior space” than the slingshot, and if memory serves me (it’s been iffy since the accident) but the Vanderhall is also more pricey by about 10-15k
Nice score! With the air ride, and rotiforms, low mileage, etc, you got a hell of a deal! I’m more concerned about what prior damage occurred to the car. The stock seats had airbags, as did the steering wheel. Is the passenger airbag still there? That is something I’d investigate ASAP and rectify. At least return…
You sir, need more stars for that comment!!
While I love the B5 Passat, and adore wagons, the V6 + Auto =/= fun combo. There’s no mention of maintenance, even with low miles, this thing is going to need head gaskets, belts, etc due to age. Everyone else already mentioned the HUGE amounts of interior wear for the mileage, and I agree, that door panel should NOT…
Buying a project car this weekend, it’s a re-do of the first car I bought as an adult. A 91 VW Passat Wagon with a 5spd. After seeing the Hemmings listing for the synchro wagon, it really pulled at my nostalgia. So I’m pulling the trigger on buying one that happens to be local, but not in the best shape. Thankfully…
CP all day. Yes, it has the rare red/black leather interior, the AMG looks package, and 5 speed. However, these things are SLOW! That hydraulically operated hard top adds a TON of weight to the car, and tons of complication. If he has paperwork for the hydraulic replacement (3k job @ dealer) it might be worth high…
I’m in Ohio, and considering it...
See my user name? Yeah, that’s because I had a custom painted Blue B3 Passat wagon back in the day. It was the first car I bought on my own, the car I brought my newborn son home from the hospital in, and I’m still absolutely in love with them. Sadly mine ate it’s transmission and had to go. It’s strange that this…
I LOVE this body style, and the 2.7TT & stick shift make it a fun combo, but this car is at that perfect spot where everything is working correctly... for now. It’s due (overdue?) for a timing chain job, and the air suspension WILL fail within a month. The Allroad from this era is a car that even the enthusiasts stay…
If his kids are tall, the rear seats suck since the roof angles down into the passenger space.
Blown headgasket. That engine is toast. LS Swap it. One of the few times that doing that particular swap will actually INCREASE gas mileage!!
These are really decent bikes, and their quirkiness has given them a cult following. This is a really nice example, and looks to be well taken care of. NP all day.
Love how in all the pics of the van parked, the wheels have motion blur!
