128k miles 1.8Turbo, 5 speed manual power locks power windows Cylinder head, timing belt, and water pump all replaced last January All front aluminum suspension linkages and tie-rod ends replaced last summer I like the pick-up that the turbo gives this car, but I cannot afford to keep it (it is too big for my needs) and I am moving and need to get rid of one car (my wife and I have two Passats between us, a 99 and a 98, each with roughly the same mileage - the 98 has a sunroof) ---

What year? Depending on the year 4k sounds about right… P.S. - All GLS will have power locks and windows. It’s not like it’s a special option. And most should have a sunroof too. If they got real fancy, you’ll have leather. And heated seats. Oh, and also… if it’s a '99 remember that 99.5 is the MKIV. A '99 is an MKIII body style. ---

It’s high on a VW, any more than it’s high on any other car. If the car was well cared for, it’s not going to make a difference. Do you want any 1.8T - or a Jetta or Passat in particular? ---

GLS is a trim model, not a car model. So you can get a GLS Passat, or a GLS Jetta. And either one can have a 1.8T - But it can also have a VR6, or a TDI for that matter, so don’t just go looking for a GLS. Look for a 1.8T if that’s what you want. Ask them if the belt has been changed, and if they have had any problems with the coils. If the car has that many miles on it, but no problems with the coils, it still might not be a bad idea to change them. As far as the timing belt goes, the ad says that it has recently been changed. Make sure they have a record of this, and you should be fine. As far as pricing goes, that’s pretty much dead on. You can try to push her down to around $3500 but that’s about as low as I can see them going. Anything under that is even under what KBB says it’s worth, and the car looks pretty clean from the pictures you posted up. Have your mechanic or someone who knows VW check it out with you, make sure it’s not a basket case. Other than that, I say if you like it - Go for it. ---

A blow off one vents the boost pressure to atomosphere giving the loud noise, but in an 1.8t engine the ECU has already accounted for that air so if you vent it outside of the system you could get a fault code. A recirculating valve will blow that air back into the system. Many times blow off valve = check engine light for VW Get one that will recirculate, it will still make the “PFSHHHH” sound, just not as crazy loud, but it will keep things running the way VW meant them to be. ---
