Skiing and Mountain Driving This Winter?

Parrott has their 2004 VW Passat GLX AWD station wagon for sale. With only about 5900 miles this vehicle is virtually new, and is for sale only because Parrott “has the bug” for more power and more gadgets” in his infrequent driving. This is the third vehicle from the VW-Audi platform that Parrott and Iwahashi have owned, and a 2006 Passat is being considered as the next vehicle. Hence it is fair to say that the VW marquis has been very satisfactory in our experience. Price? How about splitting the difference between KBB trade-in and private sale cost? This means about $22,500 as of this time? Talk to Parrott if interested…The wagon is a beautiful “candy apple red metallic” with grey leather interior.
