I'm 8 hours away in Omaha, NE and wanting to buy this

Anyone check out or would be able to check it out for me?
I've pretty much done everything aside from actually paying for the car. Biggest problem is my bank want a notarized bill of sale before giving me loan money, and only day of the week I can go up is Sunday. So I'm trying to see if someone could give their expert opinion and instill enough confidence that notarize a bill of sale before actually buying it, that way I only have to make one trip instead of going up to inspect it, then coming back, doing the bill of sale stuff, and going back up again.

Nope, just a prooven fact the w8 passat is the least reliable vw ever made. I mean if you want I can list all the problems the w8 engine has compared to other ones. At least that's a 6spd manual so it gets rid of a lot of those issues. Its an engineering accomplishment but not a total one.

I can check it out if you want. Otherwise I'd call one of the local euro shops (SVS - 218 729-4788 | Foreign Affair 218 722-2246) and have them do a PPI.

Someone checked it out for me last week and I'm going up this weekend to take it home. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

The girl who owns this car gets it serviced at SVS in Duluth. Call there, they can prob give u a good idea of the condition of the car. She was there picking her car up when I was picking up my 6er about a month or so ago.

Just FYI. Good luck.
