2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion wagon 6-speed (!)
1-owner NW car with 156k miles. This B5.5 Passat combines the naturally aspirated 4.0 liter W8 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and 4Motion AWD drive-train.
Looks good and drives great. Engine / transmission / clutch / brakes / steering feel like they should. Interior is clean and overall looks very very nice for the age and miles.
