Dieselgate Passat TDI's are great cars. We bought a 2014 for $11K, right after the scandal hit. It would run all day and night, get 50MPG at highway speeds (70-80mph), and would go 700-800 miles on a tank of diesel. Tons of room, a real German car that's been Americanized but isn't totally dumbed down. It's the size of an Audi A6 but you're paying Jetta money for it. We loved the DSG dual-clutch, it was the perfect transmission for it. We got rid of it because VW gave us 2.5x our money for it under the buyback program, which was an offer we couldn't refuse. That was almost two years ago. Well, a couple months ago we got into a 2015 "fixed" Passat TDI with a manual transmission, it runs great too, but we wouldn't get the manual next time. It's a diesel engine so it doesn't rev that high, so you're constantly short-shifting and it's not a lot of fun, the way a manual trans usually is. The DSG is the transmission to get. So yeah if you can find one for $15K or so, with under 100K miles, definitely grab it. They'll all be gone someday, and unfortunately they're never coming back.

Our Jetta TDI has been a joy to own. Sick fuel mileage, good power, roomy and super reliable. Bang for buck is off the charts. About to trade it in next week for a nice used Passat TDI.

Bought mine Sept 2020. 2012 Passat 59k miles for $11k. SEL trim. At the time there were 4 in the dealership. Within a week all were gone. Great car, extremely smooth drive, great mileage and very spacious interior. Also, great bang for the buck as it comes with literally a *ton* of features for the price.

They did get 45-50. They didn't lie about that. They had an ECM hack that would run an emissions tune when the car had only two wheels rotating (emissions testing). When not in emissions testing, it ran in the normal tune, which bypassed some of the emissions equipment, resulting in more power, better fuel economy and longer life. Even with the fix, which my '15 has, I still get 42-46mpg on the highway at 70-80mph. Mine is a manual.

Just got my 2012 TDI. Things a beauty and a beast

Stop telling people about the passats I want another once one i run mine into the ground lmao

Bought a 14 passat tdi sel with 109,000 miles for a Bargain 🤞🏾 Totally recommend one of these for those who wanna save money on fuel and for those who want something sporty but spacious. Much Love From the 718 ppl 🏄🏽‍♂️🏄🏽‍♂️Stay safe out there

i almost bought a ‘13 Passat TDI just like that recently, but went with a ‘15 Golf TDI instead. regardless, these TDI Volkswagens are incredible cars!

Upon returning to the UK in May 2021 I needed a run around and being a VW fan since 1979 my son and I started to look around (he had already bought a Mk4 Golf). I have to say of all the VW's I have owned it is serving well as they all have and this 2008 2.0L Diesel Estate is brilliant. I changed the oil in the DSG and have added 5000miles onto the 113000miles and it's a cracker! Goes well, quiet running and exceptionally smooth... Love it.

I have this very same car I LOVE it! I got a 2014 at 19500 miles for 14K from Carvana a great buy don't regret it

Picked up a 2012 Vw golf TDI with 72,000 for 11k back in November 2020. The car originally being from MD before the fix and I bought it in Western NY so the simple fact of having a rust free car that’s almost 10years old alone was worth the money but I never thought I would enjoy this as much as I do. Slapped a Kerma tune on it and haven’t looked back

I sold back my dieselgate passat to VW. Upgraded to a A6 Tdi. So much fun!

In January '20, I picked up a '14 TDI Sel Premium with 28k on it for $13k as a CPO from the VW dealer. New tires, brakes, battery, had the DSG service done, etc., plus as a CPO, it came with a 3 year, unlimited mileage bumper-to-bumper warranty (as well as the extended emissions warranty). Also had the all weather mats (plus the regular mats) as well as the trunk liner with the cargo stabilizers (or whatever you call those L shaped things that Velcro to the liner mat). Awesome car, but thank god for the warranty. I had to bring it in for the heater core replacement (EGR temp fault) a few months ago, and during a recent trip, it set the code again and is back at the dealer for that, as well as codes for left blend door actuator/position sensor and an intermittent short on the GPS antenna cable. Hopefully all the issues will crop up while the warranty is in effect, but all-in-all, you can't beat it for the price.

The Volkswagen Passat saved my life with the help of God of course. My mom was not hurt during the accident then a year later my husband got into an accident and was not harmed but the car was totaled. That car took a lot and was still trying to work. I bought another one. I love Volkswagen.

I bought my 2013 Jetta TDI 6 speed about 2 1/2 years ago and I absolutely LOVE it! I took it on a trip from Puyallup Washington to Cody Wyoming and just about made it on a full tank, if you buy a Passat TDI you could go even further due to the 18.5 gallon tank, I’m only rockin 14.5 gallons in the Jetta

Got my tdi passat in may love it

I was working at VW at that time and had to do that recall 23Q3 very serious recall EPA was down our necks but I love this car I wanted one in shark blue with the manual transmission

My friends I own a 15 tdi for almost 5 years now one thing to keep in mind is to make change to change the timing belt at 100k miles it’s an interference engine with a belt just FYI mines has 70k and I’m planning on it in the next 30k miles and the dsg needs service every 40k miles so 40,80,120, do that and oil service and you’ll be good

i traded in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4 doors truck for the 2015 VW TDI 5-dr hatchback last year 2021. never regret it. the truck cost $18K with 78K miles. this TDI has 41K for $17K top-of-the-line sticker price for this new 2015 was $28K -$31K. fully loaded. i get 40 mpg easy on the backroad and 52 mpg on the freeway. the only drawback is adding the DEF when reached 10K miles. i had been a VW driver since owned the VW Dasher 5-dr hatchback diesel, got 50 mpg; the VW Rabbit gas hatchback; 2016 VW Jetta TDI (returned for smog chip recall); 2017 VW GTi gas, was gifted to my granddaughter's college present; finally, this 2015 VW TDI Golf 5 dr hatchback. Yip, I'm a VW guy bc German does make a great durable car. best trade I ever made from a 15 mpg truck to a 45 mpg VW diesel Golf hatchback. anyone has an idea on diesel conversion to CNG, please reply. saw some old videos, but the most recent one for the 2015 VW TDI.

No wonder I turn heads 😂 😂 never knew I was driving in such style! Same fresh paint color, year and all! People think it's newer than it actually is I'm a "if you take care of your car it'll take care of you" type of person so as long as you maintain it like any other car (generally speaking) they're very good!

2 years ago, I purchased a Volkswagen Passat TDI SEL. I love my car. But I just don't know the car🤣🤣🤣 I'm still learning it. I got mines at about 17 thousand miles for a little over 17. But, I always get asked about my car. But I definitely hear my car running.

Are there any years to avoid or what to look for? I’m trying to do some research before buying. I found 2025 golf tdi sel but I’m afraid to bite the bullet. I know the engines are good but I keep reading about other faulty components. Any input?

Do these have the DEF / adblue systems installed ? I heard they are a pain

I got a 2013 tdi passat in July with 69,000 I love my car..

Bought mine for only 10k and now it's worth up to 18k. Great cars and amazing warrenty.

Amazing video, we got them in Germany, especially the 2015/16 EU Model is a GREAT vehicle. I mean this is the best selling car behind the Golf here in Germany!

Great tour of the car and a convincing promotion. Curious if the rear seat folds down. If so, what is the length of cargo space from back of driver’s seat to tailgate?

2005 My Passat gets 65 mpg tdi 398,000 miles runs mint

The warranty is a bit more that that. For 12-14 TDIs: Extended Emissions Warranty Information*: The vehicle has an Extended Emissions Warranty that runs for 10 years and 3 months or 123,000 miles from the original in-service date. Please see your VW dealership for additional information including the vehicle's in-service date. In addition, and concurrently, the Extended Emissions Warranty runs for 4 years and 3 months or 51,000 miles (whichever occurs first) from the date of modification or first dealer resale post-modification. And the reason these TDIs have such low mileage, when VW bought these back from customers, they sat for a long time until VW sorted out what they were going to do. So for close to two years they sat (started and maintained by VW during this time!) thus the low mileage. I can get over 45 mpg highway all day long, even pushing 75-80 mph.

I bought mine the end of 2019. Dealership was trying to put me in a Kia no sunroof baby screen ughh. I saw the Passat got it for 13 with 45k miles, Sunroof, Heated seats, Dsg black on black who ever had it got the SE optioned out even got the 18 inch wheels. Didnt expect to like it as much as I do. I drive the hell out this car. Oh and from Chicago to Atlant I got 44 mpg average so it aint to far from the claims LoL

Yup getting one Saturday last year made tdi 2015 passage just got at 2021 Tiguan in Burt orange soo nice

I got a 2012 diesel gate Passat Fully loaded sel not a dent, scratch, speck of rust with 28,000 kms on it for 9 grand and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned in my life. After owning this car, I will never not own a tdi. And it came with an awesome warranty

YEE YEE brother! These are good cars!

2014 passat tdi sel premium 43k miles on it the owner is asking for 16k is it too much?

I got a 168k miles Passat Wolfburg edition for $5000 and it's perfect

Got my 2014 TDI with 76k miles few months back loving it so far

You guys need to get in some 15 Jetta SEL TDIs!

The fix affected the mpg's its a combustion thing with how lean it runs at what timing vs nox emissions. They removed them from the american market but they would pass emissions without the cheat.

My friend has one and it is an awesome car 🚗. Runs strong and fast . allot of room in the car.

You forgot to mention the FENDER audio system in that Passat SEL , one of the best!!, and one off the main reasons I purchased a 2014 with 113,000 miles on it from a Used car lot for only 4900.00 !!! just has a cracked windsheild and coolant leak that was intermittent. These are great cars! , especially if you delete the catalyst, and flash the ECU , Mileage goes up over 50 MPG

Do you have tdi diesel available right now?

That “parchment interior” is a color called Cornsilk. And that seat fabric is called Dinamica.

I know this is a year old. But do you have any of these left

I freaking love my 2012 Passat TDI SEL

I bought a 2013 passat TDI for 4200 last year. 120k miles. Amazing car and now I'm spoiled

i have or had a 14 jetta tdi 6sped and it’s been a pos to me $600 starter went out , driver side leather seat ripped right down the stitching seam , last winter went to open the passenger door and the cable inside snapped so i had to ratchet strap the door closed just so i could get home . then try changing a headlight or day time running light bulbs it’s a nightmare and they seem to go out way too often you beat the crap out of your hands trying to get the bulb out . the rear brake backing plates both broke at the mounting bolts , i have to pull hard up in order to get my windows up on both sides . now engine lights is on . then there’s the $$$$$ emissions stuff and very expensive HPFP that if it goes out and throws metal all through your fuel lines and what not people have paid like $8k to fix . no thanks car has been traded in last week

06/2024 NV: Just bought pristine a 2015 TDI Wagon @87k for $13.5k. Great cars. Clean models are getting hard to find.

600 miles a tank . I love mine . Got mine 31.000 miles for 11k

2014 Touareg owner love it

Got a 2014 tie sel premium with 45000 miles for 9k, had for a little over a year and just hit 50000, I love it

do you still have passat tdi for sell?

Just bought mine. 40k miles for $10k. Great car.

Looking at a 2014, one owner, with 112k for $10.5k in florida, anyones thoughts?

Is it available for Mexico? I would love to buy one of those

Paid literally nothing for a 12 Passat with 60xxx kms so about 40xxx miles. Tdi and dsg highline. Super nice car.

I got 2 of them....650 miles per full tank diesel...great power...best kept secret..

Lol my vw Passat is in the background the black one in front of the white bmw.

I got a Passat b7 in 2016 and it was madd, the eu version is slightly better and nicer looking but even the American version is nice

I got a 2014 tdi sel with 30k for 12k. I love it.

How does the warranty work if you buy a used one

My first car and still is mine is a Vw passat SE with leather inside. My fellow teens. Dont sleep on the VW. Especially passat or Cc. Anything above 2013 you will find yourself falling in love with. Easily able to take my fishing rods and fit my shit in the trunk whenever i go on trips.

Chad kinda sounds like pastor Jeff's voice from young Sheldon

My dad had one in 2014 (can't remember model year). Now since I drive 40 miles to work every day I really want to get in on that 50 mpg he was getting

You need to do your research. The issue had zero to do with fuel economy and had everything to do with emissions. They were actually getting higher fuel economy than advertised but they emissions were higher than they stated.

They lied about it being dirty not mpg

How reliable is the Passat

I'm shopping now for a Sportwagen and prices have gone a bunch higher now...

my 2013 passat tdi only has 31k miles on it. Got it with 22k miles.

What is the Passat GDI engine. The R line.

Ohhh passat your so good

I usually drive Lexus but I sold mine and tried a 2013 tdi a few days ago. So far it’s beautiful but I’m nervous with maintenance on a german car. Luckily it has a 2 year warranty. I think after that I’ll head back to Toyota lol

Not here in Arkansas

I have 3, - Two 2013’s and One 2014

Hey I want to buy one send me the link so I can apply thank you

Dude if you're going to try and come on here and sell these and try not to sound like a salesman at least get your facts straight. Diesel gate was about the emissions that Tdi cars put out not the damn MPG. Seriously bro cringe...

In europe too...

You are wrong about fuel economy. The fixed cars now get the stated MPG, they got great MPG when they cheated

why so many, dpf problems add blue problems....

The claim was regarding emissions. DYR

does the 2015 tdi sel prem have ability to play Bluetooth off my phone like music and stuff

I prever Skoda , a other sub brand van VAG VW

I bought a 2017 SE with tech here in California for a good deal with 26k miles but not as good a deal that this guys says! I think he’s not honest about the price! Salesmen just want to get you in the store then they change the price or the say it’s been sold. Anyway, nice car. I love Passats, I have two but who drives diesel cars? Diesel cars get the best gas mileage but diesel fuel cost more than gasoline!

6:12

Son has one the dealership has had it for 5 months can't get a turbo that dum

This guy has it backwards. VW didn't fudge on the MPG at all. I routinely got 45-48 mpg on mine most of the time. They fudged on the emissions. With that said, after the "fix" for the emissions, the MPG dropped but that was after the buyback. Still a great car but his statements are unintentionally misleading

You know your a sales man when you don’t stop talking for 1 second

Got anymore on your lot?

Now, why would you go on an insult my old mercedes diesel wagon, LOL

Dang!..this guy can sell sand in the desert

Imagine only getting 38mpg in a tdi wut r they doing flooring it 27/9 and towing

VW dealers give you a CPO warranty.

I just bought one 2013 for 13k 90 thousand miles I obviously paid a lil to much seeing you guys paid 11-13 in 2020 😂 fuq 💀

First

This man forgot the K in Volkswagen

46mpg easy ..

The major problem wasn't the fuel consumption, it was the emissions which was out by a magnitude of 4 or 5

CAN YOU SELL MY MOTHER IN LAW FOR ME PLZ THANKS

I thought this was an informative video not a sales pitch 🙄

Volkswagen not "voltswagen"

These cars are ass. Have had one for a little over a year and have had def issues 4 different times. Dealership is tired of it and now I pay for a car that don't run
