YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan supercharged 300hp 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Pricey, especially with options, but no more so than its direct competition. Still cheaper than an equivalent M-B or BMW.
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not a lot of 26 year olds in my town are driving the car i have so i get looks allll the time. but anyway, Depending how much money you have to put down and make, will determine if u have a 500 $ payment since i was 11k upside down on my trade in.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Price is high...but all cars in this class have a high price. You get what you pay for. :)
2006 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Over $10k more than V70
2005 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Full price - no discounts or concessions
2004 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 it is a pricey car in an absolute sense but a good value vs. bmw 540
2003 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The car is was very expensive, and hence payments high.
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6
6-speed manual AWD		 It can be quite expensive, though a used A6 over 5 years old will drop in price dramatically and become an excellent deal.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volkswagen Passat

Price of the Volkswagen Passat: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get a full size class interior and quality materials at a reasonable (for european vehicle) price.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get(LUXE) MUCH more for the same as a base A4. VW also has incentives rarely matched.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Found price to be $3000 to $4000 less than comparable wagon with comparable room.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 lease payments are low
2007 4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 optimal price/features ratio
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This car was three years old. It was near the cutoff mileage where VW’s CPO would not cover the car. And it was priced to sell at 3K less than similar cars on the lot. If it had not sold that week it would have been sent to auction.
Price of the Volkswagen Passat: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 too expensive
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Passat is a little more expensive than other cars.
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 My turbo four cost $26,000 with just rear side air bags, heated seats and floor mats as options. About $3500 over a similar Camry and Honda four.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Price is higher than a comparable Japanese car like an Accord or Camry, although the Passat does pack way more features and the base Passat is much better equipped than the base Accord or Camry.
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 4 motion is very $$$
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Price a little on the high side becasue dealer does not compete in the Canadian market, it was sort of buy it or leave it. No incentaives like the US.
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 so many options that add to sticker price
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Passats just got too expensive for the common folk Handling was good but everything else was a joke.
2003 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The Passat is more expensive than other cars when new but you are paying for quality.
