It has to be a typo. Appears as if a dealer is selling it. Note that the licence plate is pulled for the rear photo. Serious mileage for a 2008 though. Maybe the new unloved Passat wagon resale is nasty. OR the dealer is sleazy and intentionally put a low price to draw inquiries.


If the price is straight up then it is amazing how low the price is.

Don't think 77,000 km is very low mileage for a one year old car. Probably the 1 and 3 should be reversed.

Why don't you contact the seller and ask?

But, I'm sure he'll tell you that the car is currently in storage while he's stationed overseas with the military, and as soon as you send him the money by Western Union, he'll have the car shipped straight to you.  ;)

I doubt for real. AutoTrader has had a ton of scammer ads which all offer low prices as a hook.

This is a scam, I would bet. Nor would I call the number, probably a $1000/minute call number.  ::)
