😐 NEUTRAL

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

😐 NEUTRAL

On my way to buy a Passat or superb

👎 NEGATIVE

Get it checked thoroughly. Since it has a lot of kms, check the suspension components. The only downside of buying a sedan is the low ground clearance. My car kisses the speed breakers with 4 people in it.

👍 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

👍 POSITIVE

Go for it if it's a diesel car

👍 POSITIVE

Umm… can’t say of anything about the future of diesels in India. Govt is planning to discontinue diesel cars as well as in the next 6-8 months bringing Isobutanol mixing in diesel. So can’t say much. But if you still wanna go for you can go for it. It’s a good car. Works for around 9-9.5.

👎 NEGATIVE

Buying DSG post 1lakh KM is a bad decision . U need to spend a lot on gear box , suspension , diesel pump and steering assembly
