99 Passat V5 vs 99 V6 quattro A4
« on: May 19, 2009, 04:55:22 PM »
My old man is thinking about selling his V5 passat wagon for this:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Audi/A4/auction-216280733.htm

Passat is dark red, beige leather interior, manual. Pros/cons? Which is better? Anything to look out for with the Audi?

Yours please.

Test drive it (make sure no lights stay on the dash that shouldn't) and then get a diagnostic scan done (or VAGCOM  - I can do that if you like), and mechanical inspection from a specialist or someone on here who knows what to look for. Looks a nice car. Has it been serviced since 2006???
