A friend od mine who is car shopping right now just found this manual, W8, 4motion Passat. Neat. Although I can’t incureage this purchase as I’ve hear the W8 are pretty complicated, things like dual alternators, or is it dual water Pumps? and hard to get to... everything. Not a car you want as a DIY project.

That price + aftermarket grille + needing tires, and everything else stock is....worrying

Client of mine had a manual, w8 passat wagon. He kept it in beautiful shape but said that after 7 years of ownership... He was thinking about selling it due to the increasing difficulty to source parts.

I really hope he calls me back so I can see it again

Weren’t fewer than 10 manual W8 wagons made for the US market? That’s a true unicorn!

Edit: guy quoted on old FP article says 9

I couldn’t tell you, but I seem to recall hearing something of that nature from the owner.

Honestly it’s for the best if I never see it again. It would be hard not to put an offer in for something so unique

Fantastic car but avoid at all costs. So much work.

Yeah I’d image that was a combo you had to special order and really want. It’s not something a dealership would order that’s for sure.

Sorry, thought it was Michigan.

Been finding a lot of good stuff in Michigan lately, which is farther than I want to go for stuff.
