Was just wondering if anyone has a 00 Passat 4Motion on this forum ??

I am interested in one .. and the price is damn damn cheap. It has all the goodies U expect from a luxury car.

However ... I know parts for VW are expensive compared to Jap cars.

So .. can anyone shed some light upon my situation and share some experieces with owning a late model european car.

Some prices can be expensive. True.

My arguement tends to be they need to be replaced less than Jap cars. I had a Honda CR-V until recently, and honestly couldn't fault the reliability, but lacked power and the comfort and safety of my New Beetle.

The technology is furthered, and in something like a Passat 4-motion, the luxury is a bonus, in addition to the aforementioned assets.

Back to the original question. I am due to replace the oxygen sensor and pollution sensor on mine, and together, should be around $1500+. Now saying that, I haven't spend a cent on it in the 25,000 kms that I have owned it.

Hope this helps.
