Volkswagen has long been a staple in the midsize sedan segment, and the Passat remains one of its most recognizable models. If you’re hunting for a solid family vehicle that balances space, economy, and reliability, the **Volkswagen Passat 2005** instantly comes to mind. While the exact **Volkswagen Passat price** you’ll encounter depends on mileage, condition, and location, most buyers find that the model offers a blend of mainstream amenities with the quality traits expected from a German‑built car. Whether you’re looking for a **used Volkswagen Passat price** in a local dealership lot or through private sellers, the 2005 version still commands a respectable place on the used‑car market. ### Key Specifications

• Engine: 2.0‑liter, 4‑cylinder inline‑4 (Turbocharged option available in higher trims)
• Horsepower: 140 hp (turbo: 200 hp)
• Transmission: 5‑speed manual or 4‑speed automatic (optional TIP 280 automatic with torque‑converter)
• Fuel Type: Regular or mid‑grade unleaded gasoline, 87‑88 octane
• Drivetrain: Front‑wheel drive (all‑wheel drive optional in later trims)
• Dimensions: Length 192.8 in, Width 71.3 in, Height 56.9 in, Wheelbase 109.8 in
• Interior: Cloth or leather seats, 6.6‑inch infotainment screen, dual‑zone climate control
• Cargo Capacity: 13.5 cu ft behind the rear seats; 36.2 cu ft with seats folded
• Safety: 5‑point seat belts, anti‑locking brakes, optional electronic stability control, front airbags, side‑air bags
• Fuel Economy: Approx. 23 mpg city / 31 mpg highway for the 2.0‑liter inline‑4

These figures give you a quick snapshot of the Passat’s long‑term feasibility as everyday transportation, especially when you compare its performance against similarly priced sedans from the early 2000s. ### Depreciation Insight The **Volkswagen Passat depreciation** curve is fairly typical for midsize cars. In the first year, you can expect the vehicle to lose **15–20% of its value**. Beyond that point, depreciation generally slows to **5–7% per year** until the car reaches roughly a decade of use. Because the 2005 Passat is more than fifteen years old now, its current value sits at about **40–45% of its original retail price**, though this level can fluctuate dramatically based on a decade‑old car’s maintenance history and mileage. When budgeting for a used car, factor in this baseline depreciation to gauge what a fair **Volkswagen Passat 2005 price** might look like in the market. ### Comparison Context When you compare the old‑school 2005 **Volkswagen Passat** to its contemporaries, like the **Ford Mondeo**, **Chevrolet Malibu**, or the luxury‑segment **Audi A4** (first‑generation), several themes emerge. 2005 Passats offer a slightly larger interior shade and are generally lighter on fuel consumption than those contemporaries. However, they can fall short on advanced tech, such as Bluetooth connectivity
