Used Car of the Day: 2008 Volkswagen Passat VR6
It's wagon time again with this 2008 Volkswagen Passat VR6.
It's a VR6 4Motion with about 162,000 miles on it and apparently it's in pretty good shape -- certainly good enough for a 100-mile regular commute.
The bad is that it seems to have electronics and lighting issues, a slow to engage A/C, and a transmission slip.
It also has some rust, was hit recently, and has other cosmetic issues.
There's probably a reason why the price seems reasonable.
That reasonable price? It's $4,500 for this Connecticut-based car.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
