CLEAN & CLEAR TITLE – 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI SE – 6-Speed Manual – 184K Miles – Tuned & Deleted – Excellent Service History – Under $10K
If you're looking for an affordable diesel commuter with a manual transmission, excellent maintenance history, and serious highway efficiency, this 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI SE deserves a look. This is a CLEAN & CLEAR TITLE vehicle that we recently acquired on trade from a customer who simply wanted to upgrade into something newer.
The previous owner took great care of the vehicle, and it shows through its excellent service record. It has approximately 184,000 miles, so buyers should expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with the age and mileage, but overall this is a very nice car for the money — especially at under $10,000.
It has also been tuned and emissions-deleted by the previous owner, along with upgraded wheels and lowering coils, giving it a much more distinctive appearance and driving character than a stock Passat TDI.
IMPORTANT: Because this diesel has been tuned and emissions-deleted, buyers — especially out-of-state customers — should verify emissions, inspection, registration, and road-use requirements in their state before purchasing.
Vehicle History & Condition
✔ CLEAN & CLEAR TITLE
✔ Approximately 184,000 Miles
✔ Excellent Service Record
✔ Fresh Trade-In
✔ Previous Owner Upgraded to Something Newer
✔ 2.0L TDI Diesel
✔ 6-Speed Manual Transmission
✔ Tuned & Deleted
✔ Upgraded Wheels
✔ Lowering Coils
✔ Very Nice Overall for the Mileage
✔ Priced Under $10,000
This is exactly the type of higher-mileage trade-in where maintenance history matters, and this Passat has an excellent service record.
At approximately 184K miles, we're also not going to pretend it's a brand-new car. Buyers should expect normal scratches, blemishes, interior wear, stone chips, and other age/mileage-related imperfections.
What you're getting is an affordable, well-maintained TDI with a clean title, manual transmission, desirable modifications, and plenty of character.
⚠️ IMPORTANT – TUNED & DELETED TDI
This Passat's 2.0L TDI has been tuned and emissions-deleted by its previous owner.
The previous owner made these modifications with the intention of changing the vehicle's performance, efficiency, and long-term ownership characteristics. However, we are not representing the modifications as guaranteeing improved reliability or fuel economy.
Emissions laws and inspection requirements vary significantly by location.
Out-of-state buyers should verify whether this vehicle can legally be registered, inspected, and operated for their intended use in their home state before purchasing or arranging transportation.
We disclose this upfront because we don't want anyone traveling a long distance and being surprised by the modifications.
Why This Vehicle Stands Out
✔ CLEAN & CLEAR TITLE

✔ Upgraded Wheels
✔ Lowering Coils
✔ Heated Front Seats
✔ V-Tex Leatherette Interior
✔ Bluetooth®
✔ Touchscreen Audio
✔ Spacious Interior
✔ Huge Trunk
✔ Fresh Trade-In

Finding an older TDI is one thing. Finding one with a manual transmission, documented service history, clean title, and an enthusiast-oriented setup makes this one considerably more interesting.

Performance & Diesel Features

The combination of a TDI diesel and true manual transmission gives this Passat a driving experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
Upgraded Wheels & Lowered Suspension
This isn't a completely stock 184K-mile Passat.
The previous owner added upgraded wheels and lowering coils, giving the vehicle a lower, more aggressive stance and a sportier overall appearance.
✔ Upgraded Wheels
✔ Lowering Coils
✔ Lower Stance
✔ More Aggressive Appearance
✔ Enthusiast-Oriented Modifications
For someone specifically looking for an inexpensive TDI project, commuter, or enthusiast daily driver, these modifications may save you from having to start with a completely stock car.
Excellent Service History
One of the strongest selling points of this Passat is its service history.
At 184,000 miles, we'd much rather offer a vehicle that has actually been maintained than simply advertise a lower-mileage car with little information about how it was cared for.
The previous owner eventually traded it to us because they wanted something newer, giving the next owner an opportunity to pick up an affordable, well-serviced diesel without spending a fortune.
Condition – Please Have Realistic Expectations
This is a 2013 vehicle with approximately 184,000 miles.
That means you WILL see normal wear and tear.
Expect normal age-related imperfections such as:
✔ Scratches & Blemishes
✔ Stone Chips
✔ Interior Wear
✔ Wheel/Suspension Modification-Related Differences From Stock
✔ Normal Higher-Mileage Vehicle Wear
We're mentioning this because we don't want someone expecting a flawless 20,000-mile garage-kept car.
For its age, mileage, price point, and history, this is a very nice vehicle overall.
