Reply With Quote"Executive driven" haha I love that term, like they'd have you believe it was driven sedately by a genteel old chap before it got to you
Anyways I hope the Passat gives you many kilometres of satisfaction

Just wanted to pop by and say thanks. A while ago I asked for some advice regarding an Octavia RS, went to test drive one and found it to be a fabulous car particularly given the price. In the end though I came across as ex VW executive driven Passat at a price that was too good to refuse. Evenso I just wanted to say thanks for the advice I was given. Too bad I couldn't have both cars.

At the end of the day, I know its still a used 1yo car, I thought its safer to buy a company car then one that has been traded in the reasons of which were unknown.Originally Posted by RSOK

Its a Passat V6, it has 20000k's on it which is alot, but it was for just over $40000 including Satnav, rear view camera and memory seats.
Thanks, I hope it does too.
The RS ticked all the boxes except one, it wasn't AWD, and I found it was too easy to lose traction even in the dry.

can't get traction?? lol sounds like you have a very very heavy foot :-P

The Passat sounds like it will be a perfect trade-in for a Mk3 Octavia vRS.

When I was in the used car business we used to sell executive driven cars with 30-40,000kms on them from a company called WTH Pty Ltd.
I'll give you a hint.
In those days there was a company that used the slogan, "We Try Harder"
How times have changed.
Back on topic I think a 20k Passat V6 for around the same money as a vRS would be a pretty good buy. It's certainly a different car than the vRS but a good car for the money none the less.

Ha ha more like Mark V, I plan to keep this car for many years to come.The Passat sounds like it will be a perfect trade-in for a Mk3 Octavia vRS.

Haha...as the others have said..."executive driven".
The 6 Golf Rs and 5 Scirocco Rs we drove at Eastern Creek raceway for the VW Drving Experience days all had between 1000 -3000kms on them.
They were all going to be sold as "ex company VW executive" cars...
AFTER WE KILLED THEM ON THE TRACK...........
Mine: MY12.5 Octavia RS 147 Wagon. Platin Grey, Sunroof, Red stitching interior, Columbus system, Eibach springs, MK6 Adidas style 19" wheels, Continental contactsport5 tyres... & all the bells and whistles....
Wife's: MY12.5 Polo GTI. White 5 door, sunroof, leather, DRLs, Xenons, tint...

Possibly but I've checked every Australian review I could find and the car has never been on any article I found, secondly I would expect a car like that to have less then 20000 km
