    1998 Volkswagen Passat Sedan
    5-speed Manual Transmission
    1.8L 20 valve Turbocharged 4 cylinder engine
    92,000 Miles
    Heated front seats
    Moonroof
    Power windows and locks
    Air Conditioning works, could be colder with a can of freon

    This Passat has been involved in a front end collision and comes with a Salvage rebuildable title. The main damage is to the front bumper, grille, hood, and RF fender. The driver and passenger airbags have been deployed, these can be found on ebay for less than $100 a set. The RF steel wheel has bends on the outer lip as pictured (spare wheel ok). The radio is missing. It starts easily, runs and drives well (no check engine light), I have driven it about 250 miles recently with no break-downs.

    On the certificate where the damage is checked for what was affected/needs to be repaired only "body" is marked, "air bags" is not.

    $1400


    Great car for a swap, too. No immobilizer
    Located in Buffalo, NY. Delivery is available within 400 miles for $.85 a mile.

    btw for you New York Staters: the mv-50 (salvage title document) doesn't have anything but "body" checked under "damaged."

    Airbags are only $70 for the pair on ebay!

    to pass through inspection in ny you will have to have brand new airbags purchased from a dealer with receipts... that's why they totalled it. GL with the sale though, coz not all states are nuts, you can register it with used bags in other states and then re-register it in ny...

    This is true. However on the mv907a for this Passat (the NY salvage document) they didn't check off "air-bags" on the back of the document, there is nothing alluding to the airbags needing replacement.

    I am negotiable slightly, however that is too low. Thank you for your offer

    Needs quite some work, no way to tell the real damage until you lift her up.

    I have a lift and a shop. the impact was in the grill as all evidence suggests. Unsure how you could even think that obvious, concentrated damage could have made it further.

    Still for sale.

    don't forget, I have a truck and trailer and can deliver within 400 miles for $0.95 per mile.

    I can also drive it wherever as long as you can give me a ride back. I've taken it on a few hundred mile road trip without incident.
