Good choice of car. Make sure when you look at them all the electrics work OK as they quite often let in water through the pollen filter which plays havoc with all the electrics in the passenger footwell. If you are after a facelift B5.5 model then they were 2001-2005 not just the two years you mentioned.

Try looking on the passat forum for one: http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=15&sid=dae725eede4464e34aaee1316c15f13b

Hey!

Thankyou - picked one up yesterday!

The other half looked on the forum and got some great tips about what to look out for!

We saw one that had some obvious 'leakage' problems - the interior had a tasty thick layer of green mold throughout - yuk!

Good stuff. They are decent motors and probably the nicest interior of all the mainstream cars of that age. I like the VW's. They are not as reliable as many folk make them out to be, but parts supply is great on them and there is so much knowledge out there on internet forums if you have any issues.
