Use the initial quote, if you printed it out?

Exactly could be the 90bhp base model or the 2.5 V6 4motion Highline with all the trimmings.

That quote does seem quiet high, got quotes circa €600 for a 02 TDI Sport about a month ago.

There was no 90bhp in the b5.5.

What is the spec of your Passat ?

I plugged in the details of a hypothetical 02 Passat TDi 110bhp base model 4dr saloon, 110k miles, first reg May 02, and got quote of 679 euro.

VRT is a rip off. Abolish it. Now. Only country in Europe that has this form of tax. Abolish it. Now.
