A rather interesting Volkswagen Passat from the B5 generation is available on mobile.de for $18,350 (€16,800).

The VW Passat is not exactly the most interesting car out there, but this particular version is quite special in our opinion as it comes with the W8 4.0-liter engine. In addition, it has the six-speed manual gearbox in charge of sending the 270 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque to a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.

It remains reasonably fast (but very thirsty) even for today’s standards as it covers the 0-60 mile per hour (0-96 kilometers per hour) run in a decent 6.4 seconds. This one has done 58,408 miles (94,000 kilometers) and comes with a light gold exterior combined with a mostly beige interior. It appears to be in top notch condition and is fitted with xenon headlights, leather upholstery, heated electric seats, and navigation.

The seller says it’s the only one to come with the light gold & beige finish and it has a full VW service history. It is being sold with all the keys and documents that came bundled upon purchase, so overall it’s the best you can get from a car that left the assembly line 13 years ago.

Note: Seller mentions the car was registered in October 2002 and the listed non-negotiable price tag does not include VAT.
