Right, I've got this 1999 Passat VR5 estate (2.3 V5) engine, and although it does everything it should, I'm just not feeling it.
What I really want is either a RWD, Auto estate of similar or larger engine/physical size (3 or 5 series, C or E class?). Or possibly a Jeep Grand Cherokee with LPG (LPG tank would ideally be underslung and no single-point systems either. Not that I'm fussy!)
My car has done 150k miles, is MOTd until next March or April and I taxed it at the start of May so has 5+ months to go. It's manual, decent tyres all round, no rust. Interior is black leather/blue alcantara (leather bolsters, alcantara under yer bum)
It has a scratch above one wheel arch and a couple of scratches on the filler cap, but nothing too serious.
Everything seems to work as far as I can tell - remote c/l, electric windows etc.
Since buying it, I've replaced the alternator and the crank sensor, it runs faultlessly now and seems to return around 27mpg round town on short runs. Pretty sure it would give mid 30s on a run. It's got a towbar too, although I've never towed with it.
Anyone fancy swapping anything? Or failing that, you could always give me some money for it and I can browse the marketplace...
I'll chuck some fresh pics up later tonight after I give it a quick wash.
Oh, and feel free to offer whatever you might wish to as a swap, I'm not easily offended, although it must have a decent boot and preferably a towbar too
