Good Points:

I acquired this car on the 15th February 2013 and am the 2nd owner after the 1st owner had acquired it from new on 20th June 2000 from Volkswagen, the car at the time I purchased it was completely standard from top to bottom and everything you see to this day was added by myself, the car has full service history stamped in the original service schedule at 10310, 20302, 31068, 41545, 50451, and the most recent during my ownership was undertaken at Volkswagen Leeds at 100298. My plans were always to modify this car to a tasteful standard and with this model Passat having a low profile in the car scene today I wanted to 'do something different' a cliche as it sounds. The car mechanically has never let me down, of course general wear and tear of mechanical parts is unavoidable but when these issues have arisen they have always been repaired/replaced instantly. A number of these are 2x brand new driveshafts, cambelt and fan belt replacements, ABS ecu replacement (common fault), flexi pipe replacement, temp sensor replacement and spark plug replacements, I have also replaced the discs and pads all around very recently, I have receipts to prove this and there are also a hell of a lot of receipts from work undertaken by the previous owner. The car has plenty of previous MOTs with the latest one running out on June 16th 2016. Now to the fun bits, the car is lowered on fully adjustable FK coilovers and sits on 18x8inch Mercedes Carlsson 1/12 replicas, if you know how rare the genuine ones are you will know that these are just as sought after and I couldn't believe it when I came across a set if I'm being totally honest. The car has genuine US Spec amber front indicator lenses and amber side repeaters. Cosmetic wise I have added the 1pc front and rear rub strips which replace the original textured back 3pc ones which were on the car originally and had both front and rear bumpers painted to match. The mirror casings have been painted satin black and all paint work has been taken out at the same paint shop. Interior is the original cloth seats and door cards and has the original blaupunkt tape deck, the front door card speakers have been upgraded the feast are the original standard ones. I have probably missed absolutely loads but any questions about the car I am more than willing to answer, the only reason for sale is I have just bought and Audi A8, I just needed a chance and in all honesty seeing this car drive away will absolutely kill me but needs must :(

Bad Points:

Okay they all have them, however I really am struggling to pick them out on this car, only thing I can list here is slight curb rash to the front drivers side wheel, bubbled paint above the rear passenger door which was there when I bought the car and hasn't got any worse since and slight sagging in the door card material, other than the above I really cannot think of anything else but again, any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
