[quote=NicMM]My 8 years old Passat needs big repairing, costing over $3000. I bought it brand new.[/quote]
Do you drive hard? How about following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance?
I ask because I have a Ford that I bought new in the Fall of 2001 (9 years!) and it runs like new; nothing has broken down ever. Granted, I drive nicely, and I’ve followed all the maintenance. I also have low miles in it. But still, I’m used to think of an 8-year old car (such as yours) as a “newer” car.

You mean, the beating they took on all the “recalls” they did on false pretenses, lol.[/quote]
Amazingly, after the recall scandals, Toyota recovered so quickly. Their sales volume is up and I don’t see any price reduce because of the scandals.

No, I don’t think I am driving hard but I can’t say I drive nicely either. The mileage is like under 80,000 miles. I went to dealer to maintain in the first 4 years when it was under warranty. After that, I went to dealer or some other repair shop depending on schedule, distance, availability, etc.
But I lost my manual during a moving four years ago. Not sure if I missed anything. Basically, my understanding is it should be maintained every 5000 miles.
