Is anyone interested in my VW Passat B5 2.8 V6 Syncro 1999 which is for sale. I have owned it for the last 19 years.
I think it is too good to scrap but is maybe a project for someone since they are now so rare.
Good bits
only 2 owners from new, the last for 19 years.
MOT with no advisories until 12 November 2021.
103,000 miles so below average miles.
new brake discs and pads and spring replaced last year.
used for a 170 mile motorway trip last week without any problems.
Bad bits
Bodywork not great with rust on OSF wheel arch, and various scratches and marks, and paint lacquer peeling on front of bonnet.
Electric windows and remote central locking don’t work. The windows do work using the key in the door. I think this is the usual B5 problem - the CCC control unit is dry but I suspect water has affected the wiring somewhere. Fortunately the air-con still works.
Headlights would benefit from a polish and the Alloy wheels a refurb.
Could do with a full service and various issues sorting out.

£750
