Hi guys,

As you can read I am looking at a 08 passat 2.0tdi automatic!

Can anyone tell me the pros & cons of this car. It's a high line in pristine condition.

It's from a dealer & it's a uk car with service history and vrt paid.

What should I look for to make sure it's not clocked . I'm concerned because its from the uk! I need peace of mind.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Thanks :-)

Get a look at the service history and ring the garages that stamped it to confirm what was done and at what mileage it was done at. Also run a history check on the car.

BTW the UK spec Highline was lower spec than the Irish spec Highline. UK Highline was really a SE with upgraded dealer aftermarket leather seats and alloy wheels.

what warranty are you being preferred in the deal Fire, you might need an extended one - especially on that gearbox?
