My people, I thank you all for your help in this wonderful forum. I once more need your assistance in drawing conclusion on this;
I have an offer to buy a 2000 Model Passat 3.0 TM V6 Engine, Manual Transmission. I don't know anything about the car. I want to know about the following, to enable me decide weather to leave or go for it.

1, is it problematic?
2, what is the maintenance cost like?
3, what is the Fuel Economy like? or which Japanese car has equivalent fuel consumption.
4, Since it is Manual transmission, the gear box shouldn't be giving problems. Am I right?
5. Finally can it be downgraded to I4 (4 cylinder) Engine

your candid advice will help a brother make the right move. God bless you

Siena: The Volkswagen Passat B5 was never available with a 3.0 V6 engine.

Thanks for the info. I stated earlier that I don't know anything about this car. But little research tells me that the engine could be 2.8. Oga Siena, please I need your assistance. you can help me explain more. I am just a novice when you talk about car mechanism. please save a brother by responding to the questions listed above. God bless you
