2002 Volkswagen Passat GLX Wagon

2002 Volkswagen Passat GLX Description

A great older car, priced to sell! It's been well-cared for and runs great. The only known major concern is that there is a slow coolant leak, which periodically requires topping off. See below for more.
BACK-STORY:
I recently acquired this wagon from a family member, but have chosen to ultimately pass it along in favor of a compact hatchback. (This car is long, which makes it great for hauling, camping, hording, what have you.) My primary concern is recouping the expense of the title transfer, tax, registration & insurance I already spent. Once again, it's a pretty great car that happens to be priced well below value. As such, I am offsetting the sale price, because the slow coolant leak will eventually need to be corrected by the next owner--Not I. In its present condition, I would rate it as "good" overall. (KBB private sale value even in "fair" condition is $1600.) Selling AS-IS. I will do my best to answer any questions.
