I own a '86 5 speed manual diesel Passat. My daughter drives it while she is in college. It is approaching 250,000. My total repairs in all that time is a serpentine belt tensioner and front struts. This does not include wear items...brakes, tires , timing belt and such. It averages 41 MPG. Paint is a little dull and the cloth seats are a little dirty but it runs like new.
