2007 TDI Passat

[Transporter]

Hi Peter, be patient. Some 2 years or so ago, I've sold our MK5 TDI Golf for money I wanted on there. It took me 3 months and only one buyer came to see the car. You're right about the extras, leave them on, most likely they wouldn't fit to your new car.

I agree. Eventually the right buyer will come.

I think the wording of the ad in carsguide is not helping either. Also get rid of the photo of the airfilter and put some more in of the car itself.

Thank you for the feedback, plan to wash the car tomorrow since we should have a few good days here in Adelaide, will take some more photos and reword the add. Peter.

just my 2 cents if you are looking for feedback; your advert doesn't make you appear to be a motivated seller...

referring to this statement "if I do not get a reasonable offer, will just keep it, it owes me no cash, no finance on it, so I will just keep washing, polishing and waxing it"...

if was considering the vehicle i'd be thinking the guy doesn't sound like he really wants to sell it...

Here's your new ad including spelling fixes - WTF is a "wind defector"? . I'd also suggest you revise your price a little bit as it's way above Redbook. As an indicator I have a 2007 Octavia that cost me $32k - I reckon it's worth about $7k now - at a guess, the Passat is worth $14k.

Volkswagen Passat Sedan. 2008 update model built 2007.
125kw 2.0L diesel with DSG automatic transmission- gets 1000km between fills.
Very low kilometres for age - less than 100,000km on the odometer.
The vehicle has been regularly serviced, tuned and maintained by one of the best Volkswagen specialists in Adelaide and goes much better than most Passats.
It has also recently had a new battery & 4 premium quality tyres fitted.

I'm a car enthusiast and have fitted many factory options and accessories you won't find on other Passats.
Sunroof with optional wind deflector
LED daytime running lights with integrated fog lights
Rear window blind
Bonnet & headlight protectors
Car bra to keep the bugs off on trips to the country
Chrome highlight pack (grille, mirrors & door handles)
Mud spats
Factory cargo net & safety warning triangle (imported from Germany)

This car has been washed & waxed on a regular basis and looks as good as the day it left the showroom.

The Passat is a pleasure to own & drive but unfortunately my circumstances require me to have a vehicle with a significantly more ground clearance.

Afternoon, a wind deflector sits in front of the sunroof, this model Passat was known that if you had the sunroof open, it was noisy and created a lot of wind turbulence inside of the cabin, seemed best to drive it with your back windows down.
Thank you for creating a new add for me, it is a 2007 model with a 103 kw motor that Miro has tuned up.

I know what a wind deflector is. In your ad you spelt it "defector" which I thought was funny. There were other spelling mistakes as well. It doesn't sound like a big deal but there's a psychological thing that if you can't be bothered getting the ad right then where else have you skimped.

Good luck with the sale
