CC is almost certainly cruise control (I can't think of anything else it would be).
 
We have a GLX 2000 4motion Passat wagon (that's a higher trim level) that we bought used about 4 years ago and we have really loved it.It's very comfortable and convenient for us and our toddler now, and the drivers seat adjusts nicely to both me and my husband although he is 6'4" and I am 5'2". We have had a couple of expensive fixes (catalytic converter, new timing belt, valve cover gaskets) this year which weren't great for our budget but to be expected considering the age of the car, so keep that in mind for budgeting. You will also need to budget for all regular maintenance if you want to keep it going, VWs don't thrive well on neglect.
 
Take a long test drive and see how comfortable you feel with it, look at the maintenance and repair records of the current owner, and have an independent mechanic with VW experience check it out to see if any big fix seems pending. For price, see what Edmunds True Market Value appraiser thinks.
 
Good luck with your decision!

thanks, that makes sense. But I've seen something about VW Passat CC, is this something that just describes the model?

You are right. It means "Comfort Coupe."
 
Sometimes it is listed as a separate model and sometimes it is considered a trim level of the Passat.
 
Edmunds lists it as a separate model (see link), but further confusing whether it is a Passat or a separate model is this introduction to Edmunds' review at that same link:
 
The 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC is not a Passat for the hearing-impaired. Instead, the name stands for Comfort Coupe, but it's not a Passat coupe either -- it has four full doors. No, the CC is a sleeker, restyled version of VW's midsize sedan, intended for folks who want something more stylish and different than the typical family four-door. What's in a name, anyway?
 
Hope this helps. A little.

Does anyone know if you can get a replacement wheel emblem which is missing on my new 03' Passat wagon that I just bought?

This is not cheap, but it is the real thing.

By the way, I do not mean to insult you, but I assume you checked the shelf under the steering column to confirm that the owners manual is not there. You would not know it was there unless someone told you, because the manual binder blends in with the dash.
