  He sold car for $10,000 - over a year ago.
  i picked it up last month on ebay , flew out to Winston-salem , NC and drove it home 18 hours.
  
  
  
  
  1998 Volkswagen Passat TDI
  AHU Turbo-diesel engine
  5-speed manual transmission
  179k miles on body, 223k on engine
  
  This car has been excellently maintained and has had the following recent maintenance:
  -Timing belt, water pump, etc.
  -Lifters
  -ALL engine seals, fresh oil change
  -Sachs Clutch kit
  -Brake hoses (common B5 wear item)
  -Fuel & Air filter
  -Gear oil
  -New Cat converter, downpipe, flex joint
  -Rear struts
  -Front control arms
  
  This car has COLD A/C, Cruise Control, Sunroof, AM/FM Media Player, and anti-lock brakes. Tons of room for passengers and cargo!
  
  
  This car has upgraded nozzles and a stage2 tune with immobilizer delete- according to Keith that built it.  
  
  
  I fixed a few things right away -  ac vent was broken , shift boot was all tore up , installed an Alpine stereo / amp and sub -  replaced the dome light with a newer style - but realized the sunroof switch is different so need to find an older one - i have the newer one installed so the dome light works - but there is no sunroof switch ( its in glove box )  Fixed the stereo antenna as it was cut - so i soldered it and now no stereo HUMMMMMMMM..
  
  Tires are new - receipt in glove box for them a few months ago.  205-55-16
  
  It has a few scratches in the paint - very small dent in hatch -  it looks like a 1998 - still looks decent - in my opinion.
