Don,


Be careful.  The eletronic automatic transmissions in the early Passats had
problems.  Very expensive problems...


Cheers,

Subject: Car advice please: 91 Passat. NVC




My son is looking for a reliable economical car to drive around town
and , twice a month, to drive 400 miles across the prairie and up into
the rockies. ( he's a Biathlete). I have a line on a 91 Passat auto,
270,000 km, just had the timing belt done as well as numerous other
bits of recent work.
Anyone have any experience with these cars? Have any advice to give?
TIA
Don
