2016 VW Passat 2.0 TSI Turbo for 850k, 38k mileage

[Trippin]

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.

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.

Kamusta DCT ng VW? I was thinking since these are fleet cars and most like driven by different drivers with different driving styles and without any care in the world e baka may tama na ang transmission...

I had a quick look into the complaints. Zero..

vw is selling millions. Im sure they have the resources to address their popularized dct issues. Can our traffic kill the dct? I doubt this.

Lawsuits are expensive. Theyd rather fix the dct than pay "karen"

VW DSG is smoother to drive than the dry-type DCT of Ford. I have driven both turbo diesel and turbo gas VWs with its DSG tranny. The turbo gas felt better as you can floor better the accelerator to higher rpms when downshifting.

Does it share kaya the same DCT with the 2018 Audi Q5? Cos I hated that when we rented that car for a week.

Edit: It was a 2.0TDI. Just checked. It felt jerky to me then. And I know a jerky DCT cos we had a fiesta for 6 years. [emoji23] I eventually learned to “modulate” our fiesta tho after a few months of ownership. The Q5 I drove for 1714kms. I guess not enough time to get a hang of it.

never had a problem with a VW DSG being jerky. i do remember the Ford Diesel Hatchback a/t with the ford DCT that i was planning to get but when i test drove it, the transmission was Jerky and couldn't seem to find the right gear for a smooth acceleration.

There are already a few specialist in VW/Audi cars in metro manila. Most basic parts are easy to source.

DCT is a bit jerky if you drive it like a normal AT car. Drive it like a bit of an MT and it will behave like it should.

I am not sure but maybe VW and Audi have different tunes on their DSG with their popular models.

Paul says the new tsi engines are reliable. His last video was on a 144,000miler with carbon buildup.

Where to buy parts for Audi / VW outside of dealer?

Kung fluids and filters lang, Lazada or Shopee mayrun. I am talking only for cars which share the MQB platform, the one used for the more affordable VW and Audi cars - Jetta, Golf, Passat, A3, etc.
