Anyone thinks this is a good buy? I kinda think it is but would like to hear your thoughts.

The car looks well maintained at least in pics, haven't seen it in person yet though.

as a car, i think VW is a good car.
but i am always wary of post-acquisition service and maintenance support...

Very much of a good deal! The Passat had an SRP of over 2M back in 2016. For that price, you get a true blue Euro car with lots of performance. Based on inputs from folks, the Passat 2.0T shares the same engine & tranny as the Golf GTi but quicker to 100kmh. All local Passats sold from 2015 onwards were imported from Germany.

Please share some pics. Maintenance would be the same as any turbo gas car. Change oil is required every 12 months or 15k km. Tranny maintenance for the VW DSG is every 100k km.

We have already maintained our 2016 Jetta 1.6L TDI on our own. We buy oil and filters from Lazada, and just have it serviced at trusted local shops. The Passat shares the same cabin filters and air filters as the Jetta and Golf.

I just saw it on FB marketplace, one guy was selling 13 units originally, now they're down to seven, still enough for us to get our own, haha.
He says company owned.

Kung hindi lang bound for another capital purchase right now i would've forced the issue with the wife, kaso mukang hindi talaga kaya haha.

She says we can sell our Golf GTS for it kaso I want to keep them both sana.

Tara tingnan natin? Haha

If company owned, then these cars are casa maintained. VW offered a good discount to companies who opt to use the Passat and Jetta as their fleet cars.

Did you check if it’s the Highline or Business Edition? The Business Edition was sold for around 2.7M while the Highline was at 2.3M back then.

Looks like a Highline from the instrument cluster, although I don't mind it, I just WANT the 2.0 TSI haha

Sorry for the OT, how is the reliability of the 1.6L jetta? Thinking of getting a 2016 model. +/-500k ang prices sa fb marketplace

Oks naman yung amin. It clocked over 55k km in 4 years. It is one solid car. It is even more comfortable than the Civic FC. The oil requirement (VW 507) is a bit hard to find but good thing Amsoil Euro formula is available in Lazada. Matipid sya sa diesel.

If you don’t want the DSG model, you can look for the MT models.
