I am a lively girl with lots of energy that requires a home that has large breed, dog experience and is keen on furthering my training as I have not had much previously. Dog obedience classes would be great for me. I have been mixed with other dogs here at the Centre so I could go to a home with another dog - one that is social and happy to share their home and life with me. I am not suited to a home with cats and younger children as I don't have the most appropriate manners. I sometimes forget that I am not a tiny dog.
When I am one on one with people, I slow down and enjoy any love and cuddles you can provide. I am eager to learn new things when I'm not being a total goofball! I may need someone around for parts of the day, just until I am more settled into my routine and to help further my toilet training. If you think I am the dog for you, apply to adopt me today!"

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.

A nice VW Passat Wagon Variant3.2V64m
I'm not sure what is "standard" in this model, but it comes with some nice features such as:
Heated leather seats

Electric seats/mirrors/windows

Bluetooth/CD player

Good speaker system

Magnetic phone mount

Window shade screens

Lighted visor mirrors

Immobiliser

Full spare

Recently had a ton of work done on this, including:

New timing chain, chain sensor

CV Boots

Oil change

The interior and exterior is reasonably tidy for it's age, but does have some small nocks and scratches commensurate with it's age.

The biggest flaw in this car is the patch of delaminated paint on the hood, and a crack in one of the speaker covers. The "Adaptive Front Lighting System" says it's failing, but a few mechanics have looked at it and don't see anything wrong with it, so it's probably a sensor or computer issue. I think that's what the lightbulb warning is as well. There's a small tear in the floor upholstery on the driver's side as well.

Strongly suggest stopping by to have a look before bidding.

Price: $5,499
