    no it's not and that will also cost you another few thousand in VRT charges.

    I'd assume it's included as it says all cars are NCT'd, which can't be done on english plates.
    Trade ins are welcome and all our cars come fully serviced,valeted and with a valid Nct.

    Even if it does include VRT it is silly money for a 4 year old A4.

    Thats a hell of a lot of cash on an A4, if that price does not include the VRT its a total rip off. Although looking at the spec those seats are an upgrade from Standard SLine, which are normally half leather and not elec adjustable I could be wrong.

    I have a A6 S-line, ya I know its just a few fancy extras yada yada but at the time I got it at a good price. For me I like the extra "comfy" bits as I do a hell of a lot of driving.

    Considering a friend of mine sold his non-Sline last week for 12k, I'd have to go with yes.

    I'd look at a similar Passat if you need leg room in the back as well, as the A4 is tiny - it's one of the reasons I bought my own 06 Passat rather than an A4 like the one you're considering.

    Seems like a lot to me too. A quick look at the Autotrader UK web site and I see an A4 2006 s-line for £9500 Stg. I don't know what the VRT is though. (it wouldn't be 10k though).
    OK the milage is higher, but look at the saving.

    How are you getting on with that car Kaiser2000 if you don't mind me asking?
    Just curious to see if all these Passat steering colum issues are as bad as they say.....(if you had any issue that is)

    The VRT would be 3.5k max.

    I was selling this car last year and would have accepted a good bit less than 20K. http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=93702&cat=46
    Plus, the car you're looking at is a Multitronic, which is one of the least reliable transmissions on the market.

    To be honest the first mention of a steering column issue i've heard was in a thread last week and it was news to me.

    I've had no issues with mine whatsoever since I bought the car with 57k km on it just under 2 years ago (125k km on it now).

    Only things I'd say is get the 2.0 TDI rather than the older 1.9 as the B6 Passat (being a fair bit bigger than the last one - which I also had) really benefits from the extra power and extra gear in the DSG box, and make sure you service it on time (like any car really).

    I've heard of problems with the electronic brake too, but although I consider it a somwwhat unnnecessary pointless change from a good ole handbrake, I've never had any issues.

    The Auto Hold function (while occasionally handy when stopped on a steep incline), is a total pain at low speeds as the car becomes very jerky as it kicks in - but you can just turn this "feature" off too.

    All in all, despite the problems that I know some have, I still am very happy with it.

    I also have a passat 2 litre diesel, I bought it with 37,000 miles on it and it now has 52,000 miles, do I need a service or should it tell me?

    The guy who sold it to me advised it was a long life service and it had just been serviced ( main dealer, history etc)

    It should tell you, but still, I would change the oil and filters every 10,000 miles regardless.
    It's still only a paper oil filter.
