I wish that 2.0T 6 spd CC came in 4MO - such a beautiful car.

Robby,

I see a lot of Passat sedans and wagons out there that fit your criteria, at
least in my area in the Northeast:

I currently drive a 2010 CC 6-speed (2.0t) as a DD and am enjoying it well
enough with a range of 500 miles per tank to boot.

HTH,
Jim

hi all,

i'm getting a little frustrated looking for a decent used car for a daily 
driver. you'd think that with the economy and job market as anemic as they
are 
plus such tight credit from lenders, used cars would be fairly reasonable.
yet, 
prices seem to be high. like so high, they are encroaching on dealer used
prices 
- and at least those come with a 2 year extended warranty (looking for a
used 
jetta).

i mean you can lease a new 2011 jetta for like $158/mo with zero down. how
the 
hell are people still asking $13,500+ for a 4 year old base model 2.5? i'd
lease 
but i don't like the new jetta (live rear axle on a FWD car???) and we drive

over 20k/yr.

other cars i've looked are nearly as ridiculous. i can buy a new mazda6 for 
$15,800 plus tax and license - yet  there are countless 2006 6's with
80k-117k 
for $11k+! WTF???

what do i want? a decent DD with under 45k for under $10k. preferably a
jetta. 
i'm in norcal. this should be reasonable - especially since the warranty is
up 
at 36,000 to 50,000 miles (depending on year).

and it's not really like these private party cars are selling - same shit.
week 
after week on craigslist and cars.com. i really hate low-balling, but i
think 
i'm gonna start having too. and it's not even a low-ball, i'm just trying to
get 
within the realm of reason.

i think i'm also bitter because my 200q20v does everything better than the
cars 
i'm looking at... and it's worthless ;-)

okay, end rant and back to searching ;-)

see ya,
Robby
