jeff- the car is a 96 VW passat gls. the car is in excellent condition. i got to drive the car last week and it drives excellent. the only 3 things that are not functional on the car is the AC, the ABS, and the fuel gauge. i'm well aware of how ****** VWs are. my mother has a 99 audi and in the past 2 years alone we have spent 11k on repairs alone. including 7k for a new motor and 2k for 2 new front axles. and the car is going to the shop this week for a brake problem even though the pads and rotors are only 2 months old. i am buying the car for two reasons, one to teach my father how to drive a manual and also to keep some mileage off my saturn. but for 400 dollars, why not?
