Volkswagen Passat • 2004 • 280,000 km • $ 3500000 CLP

This 2004 Volkswagen Passat is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age.

A pre-purchase inspection at an independent shop pays for itself many times over at this age.
