Found this on local Craigslist.

Passat wagon? rare

Manual wagon? rarer

W8 engine? rarest

Put all three together, and you have probably one of the rarest cars in existence! Seems like a decent price too. Maintenance on the other hand...

They're junk. And I hope you're a mechanic.

these aren't that rare, at least on local NJ CL. But the W8 needs to be pulled for just about every service $$$$$$%$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Note that it has only been with the current owner since November last year, and he has been trying to sell for some time. Google the VIN.

Although I should note - mechanically it was in good shape, and I'm definitely not trying to get you all to lowball so I can pick it up at a better price. Definitely not.

So, it's like every other Audi and VW then? ;)

Nope. Just a engine design engineer, and I never said I was going to buy it. I appreciate the tech but prefer my old Volvo wagons.

Ouch. It definitely is much more beat-up than the Craigslist pics show. Makes me wonder how the other owners treated it.

The good thing - okay, probably the only good thing - is with a 6-speed you won't have torque converter problems. So... there's that.

Yeah, and I was prepared to drive all the way to Wisconsin for it. I have an auto version, but have been looking to add a 3rd pedal for some time. Bit of a let down.
