1997 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS — window sticker

Full history report →

Built from official government records (NHTSA vPIC, EPA, NHTSA safety & recalls). Factory options with prices and the original Total MSRP exist only on the manufacturer’s sticker — everything below is the verified public record for this VIN. Blank fields mean the manufacturer didn’t encode that item for this VIN (common before 2016), not that the car lacks it.
