Second hand Passat TDI or FSI (2.0T)?

[mebius9]

Someone is offering me $29000 for 125 TDI 80,000km Passat
Seems like a very good deal to me and good compromise between 147 TFSI and 103 TDI
May I proceed fellow Das Auto Volks?

sounds good but just make sure you get it with an extended warranty ( buy one if you have to). also check all the electrical gadgets are working ok -- these are seriously complex cars.

you will be delighted with the power/ performance and economy of this baby.

That's gonna take a while... seeing how many hidden gadgets this car has...

Sounds like a good buy, but just get it checked over thoroughly by someone who knows these cars inside out!

Yeah, maybe it is a too good a deal?
it's got leather too... seems like a lot of Ks for 2year old car though.
125kw TDI + Leather + still got one year factory warranty and extended warranty.
all that for $29000? strange.
I checked the vehicle history and it's all clean, not stolen or a write off.
