Mr Lobster Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Always quite liked that shape Passat, estate was especially useful. Seem to have all but vanished now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogweasel Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Still don't understand why you bother with all these ex-pat cars - surely they are worthless there and generally not worth enough here to bring back either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWPowered Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Still don't understand why you bother with all these ex-pat cars - surely they are worthless there and generally not worth enough here to bring back either?one mans junk is another mans treasure and all that, car parts are dead expensive here (gearbox about 250, engines around 1K) so when a motor that runs come ups cheap why not eh :Donce i've had what i want of it i'll weight in the shell (which will give the same as a french one )i never spend large amounts of cash on vehicles in fact as little as possible, the rover 216SLi i got fer free, the vectra break i got fer free, passat was cheap, sell on fer small profits keeps us here in france for another month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm confused Is the one on UK plates the spares car? That would make sense if it was I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWPowered Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 yes mate, the uk reg is the donor vehicle, our french one we got for 700euros which isnt bad but 5th gear likes to pop out when decelerating so the gearbox was always gonna need doing, it decided the other day to pop a cv boot too so the donor will keep the family bus going abit longer, our french passat is the most expensive vehicle we've brought so we'll like it to last at least 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I see, that makes sense now Always worth having a spares car, I keep having a look on U Pull It for another Toledo just so I could acquire a big mountain of parts as this one is a keeper!
