Last 8 digits by kcram HOST

Hi pomchi
 
Regarding the last 8 digits of the VIN, if the first character of those last 8 digits is a "1", then your car is officially a 2001 model (or 2001.5). If that character is a "2", then you have a 2002 model.

CD Player Standard by gkj1

A dealership we have been speaking with said that VW is increasing the price of those 2002 Passats that have the CD player standard (they said the price increase is approx. $300). Is this true?? (Why all the discussion then about having the CD player "standard" if there is a price increase?) Also, have more dealerships now been receiving 2002 Passats with CD player standard?

Colors and Resale Value? by alohaguy

I was curious what the most popular Passat colors are besides Reflex Silver and does the color affect the resale value or the ability to sell the car?

I live on the north side of Chicago, and the current joke/contest with my friends and I is to see how many new SILVER Civics and Jettas we can count on one block. It's seldom less than six, seriously. It's so stupid. I mean, silver is 'hot' now, but what about at trade-in time? Ever noticed how many 92-96 hunter green with tan interior cars are on used car lots right now? And nobody wants them now, but that was the hot combo back then.
 
It amazes me that anyone would want to spend $20-30k on a car they can't even find in the parking lot at the supermarket. Is anyone here going to be excommunicated at work or the country club if their car isn't silver? Everyone has a silver Passat, get a blue one, or burgundy, seriously. Or maybe predict what's gonna be hot in five years when it's traded in.

Silver and white are ALWAYS hot. Always have been, always will be.
 
It's the other (darker) colors, like hunter green, that are fickle.

though have you ever seen a white Passat? I've seen a few 98-01s, not pretty, they're usually the strippo models with hubcaps.
 
Do you remember when silver with burgundy velour was big (late 70s-early 80s)?

I've only seen a few white Passats (or A4's for that matter). Personally, I wanted a white A4, but couldn't find one. I settled on Melange (goldish metallic). I would have taken silver, too, but the Melange was equipped how I wanted it.
