1993 Volkswagen Passat Turbo Diesel —

My parents purchased the car after I found it hiding in a garage one day while mowing. It had been sitting for 3 years enclosed in a garage. When I found it, the owner wasn't qutie ready to let go of it, but a year later it was ours for $500 It took a little coaxing to get it to run (A can of ether and a tow down the road) But it finally went, and it ran like it had never been sitting. It needed a bit of work though. Glow Plug Module was fried while trying to charge the battey/start it, Needed all the exhaust from the Turbo back. And a few parts under the hood. In October of 06 it went on the road. Whist driving it, we've gone through numerous wheel bearings, Control arms on both sides, new clutch, axles, alternator. A lot of things that had failed was becuase of sitting, and drying out. Most recently it got a new radiator, and Thrmostat Housing. It's an awesome car, handles like a European sports car, looks amazing for a 15 year old car and people don't mind asking you about it when you pull up to a diesel pump to fill it up!

Good Gas Millage And It's A Vw So You Konw Its Reliable! — This '93 passat was given to us for $500 because the person who ownd it wanted to get rid of it! It wasn't in good working condition when we first obught it becuase it was sitting ina garage for 2-3 years so we had to sinka few bucks in it before we could even get it working! The passat is fully decked out it has an automatic Sunroof, automatic windows, seats that you cna adjust 3 differant ways, seat warmers, full dashboard components, arm rest in the middle of the backseat, a HUGE trunk big enough to fit 3 large hockey bags and it's a diesel!
