FOR SALE

Selling our Wagon
2004 Passat Wagon GLS 1.8 at the hanger
Time for a larger vehicle. This is probably the cleanest and best example of a 2004 Passat Wagon GLS 1.8 Turbo in the Austin area. We are the 2nd owners--the 1st is from Germany and kept up all regular maintenance. It's been an Austin car since arriving from Germany. I've put over $4000 dollars of new parts & tires into the wagon to make it worthy for another 100K miles.     


It was ordered with real leather seats--not vinyl. Interior and exterior are excellent. This car has many new parts. All work has been performed by myself and  German Auto Center in Austin. Prior to our purchasing it from the original owner he had the work done at the VW dealer in Austin. This wagon has  plenty of power, safety features and good gas mileage. We're German car advocates, from Austin and always have been.
