But what are the lap times? I own a Passat myself and am interested in the performance.

Tonight on Top Gear, we find out what’s faster. A cow with a credit card or two teenagers in a stolen Volkswagen.

On my way to buy a Passat or superb

At that price and mileage, it has to be salvaged. If they can provide the history on the vehicle's damage, then it may be worth a look if it was only rear and no airbags deployed. I would expect that year/model/mileage to be around 10-13K, largely depending upon car history and how clean it is. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Infiniti-G35-4dr-Automatic-G35x-AWD-/291612815187?forcerrptr=true&has

👍 POSITIVE

I’ve owned a Golf Mk7 for about five years now, and it’s been pretty solid overall. Regular maintenance is key, once you stay on top of oil changes and timing belt intervals, it runs great. The 1.4 TSI engine has been reliable for me and still feels punchy for daily driving. Interior quality and comfort are excellent for the price too. I’d just avoid the older DSG transmissions or early TSI engine

👍 POSITIVE

I have been looking for one to get. My friend got a Passat B8 2018 a. Month ago. Best car I’ve been in. It costed him a lot more, KA registration. Love everything about the car. He had to get EGR replaced, needs suspension work. Still a good buy imo. But get the car checked thoroughly multiple times.

👎 NEGATIVE

Its a great car to drive but honestly its way more difficult to maintain! Yes German cars are expensive to maintain but availability of parts of passat is very very low! So yeah if u have contacts and all regarding parts, just go for it!

👎 NEGATIVE

Do you know any Volkswagen/Audi specialist Mechanic? If Yes!! Then get it checked 1st. Put it on ramp check oil sumps and underbody damages. This car is at 10.5 lac now, but there was a reason why it was worth 25-30lac worth when it was new? Or whatever was the MRP? When you have specialist they know how to get spares and get work done. I will not be dependent on any VW dealership if I am planni

👎 NEGATIVE

The rear door panel in pic looks different shade of paint. So most likely it has had an accident. Also its a UP number being sold in karol bagh. Thats yikes (found ur olx listing). Why buy old diesel? It will not be allowed in ncr in a couple of years. Id rec going for a elantra/camry instead

😐 NEUTRAL

Go for it if it's a diesel car
