Apparently, I accidentally sent this to the old list address...let's try
it again.
I know this is a little bit off topic, but I wanted to ask you guys
before I braved the vortex.
I think the B3 needs a new clutch and I really don't feel like sinking
any more money into it. I saw a 98 Passat 1.8T with 80,000 for $7,500.
I haven't personally inspected it but from the pictures it looks to be
very clean, inside and out. It has a clean title and I know a girl that
works at the dealer so I have some trust with the dealer. There is a 1
year 12,000 mile warrantee on the car.
Do any of you have an experience with earlier B5 Passats? I have read
some mixed reviews on different websites, mainly complaints about the
electrical system and the turbo. Any common problems I should look out
for/check for? Is that too high of a price? Blue book says retail
should be around 10,000.
Any help would be great
Brian
