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.
✔ CLEAN & CLEAR TITLE
✔ Approximately 184,000 Miles
✔ Excellent Service Record
✔ Fresh Trade-In
✔ Previous Owner Upgraded to Something Newer
✔ 2.0L TDI Diesel

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
This is a 2013 vehicle with approximately 184,000 miles.
That means you WILL see normal wear and tear.

We're mentioning this because we don't want someone expecting a flawless 20,000-mile garage-kept car.
