Anyone know of a Passat R36 for sale?

[Luke.]

Preferably in blue. Estate. Only one on the whole of Autotrader and it's a little leggy.

Cheers.

You just missed mine...sold end feb with 37k and one of highest specc'd out there. Guy who bought it was chuffed....and I miss it..he'll of a car for a family estate....theyre like rocking horse sh#t. In total only 164 sold in uk, of which there are less than 70 estates. You are going to have to be patient.

Sounds perfect. What did you let it go for it you don't mind me asking? Just trying to get an idea of the market.

I had it up for £13995 58plate 37k biscay blue sat nav/dynaudio system/sunroof/leather/alcantara/spinning dial trim/ voice act Bluetooth.
I was offered 12k cash at local dealer. It booked at 12800 trade in(glass guide) retail would have been 14-14.5k. I sold for 13100 private, this factored in it only had a months tax to run and the DSG/haldex service was coming up at 40k. Also not being a trade sale, warranty was just about to expire. Auto protect do one though all in for 255 if vehicle has less than 60k mileage.
If you need any info on these just ask.
Bear in mind though a ful service history does not factor in a DSG oil change or haldex service which is done every 40k. Cost is about £280 for both. Needs to have been done. You will be amazed that people don't do this.
Common problems are handbrake sensor, known to affect all passats, replacement sensor will resolve issue. Electric folding mirrors can sometimes stick...check them
As for prices it's tough one. So few out there most guide prices are way out, a certain ..we buy xxxcar.com quoted 7249!!!!!!!! But a low miler 09 with the sat nav/dynaudio system will likely be about 14-15k dealer.

That's fantastic. Thank you so much. Just the kind of stuff I need. Shame there's so few as I just want to get on now and buy one. But our current Subaru Outback been no trouble, no need to get shot in a hurry. Thanks again. If any more questions spring to mind, I'll definitely be in touch. Cheers.

I was on the press launch of the R36, Scirroco & Passat CC.

Passat was a wafty barge, Scirroco too like a golf, yet the R36 was fantastic.

The press cars were all estates and the car really work in this guise. Fabulously comfy and the DSG box worked really well with the engine.

Whatever you find, I'm sure it'll make you very happy!!

Cheers. Now where are they all?

Cheers for that. Though probably holding out for something with a few less miles as will probably keep the car a while.

Think the R36 is rare..? Try finding the later CC-based variant of the R36!

They're easy. Cheaper too.

Hi Luke, since bought a Cayenne Turbo. But thanks for letting me know. Could be interested in a swap mind you, but appreciate that's a total longshot.
