Unfortunate Story.....

[Lukev85]

Searching for a LS Passat is not easy. Its bloody hard.


After months of searching and time wasting idiots saying they will be willing to sell but stuffing me around I finally came across the car I had been looking for.

It was a lovely 1976 LS Passat sedan, a very lucky find. Rust free and straight I worked a deal with the car yard salesman and the Sky blue Passat was mine for $1400.

The salesman told me that he would have to organise the pink slip at a machanics around the corner from the dealership, though once completed he would park my Passat in front of the caryard with the keys under the front tyre for me to pick up later that night.

Happy as Larry I went back to work and called Matt from Camden GTI and organised to have a 1.8 Golf GTI motor and new clutch installed.


Then at 4:30pm I recieved a call from the caryard.......Unfortunatly as the salesman was driving the car out of the machanics with the pink slip in the passenger seat, a 4X4 plows into my Passat completely destroying it. The dealership refunded my money and now I return back to SQUARE 1.


Maybe its an OMEN, guess im not meant to own the car ive always wanted. Well its back to months of searching.......

P.S The salesman survived

It was a sad sight. The drivers side of the car was gone. the bonnet was poped. A real mess, through he drove it back to the dealership.

Oh man that sucks big time. It was even paid for! Don't get too disheartened though, starting again or not, you will have a TS Passat in your driveway if you really want one

Ring Steve back, he is ready to sell the yellow wagon and that thing is all done and ready to drive. Better than sinking pennies into another one.

I already tried to buy that Passat, but the guy stuffed me around wanting more and more money after I made him an offer $1000 above what he wanted.
