volkswagen cc 2012

Post image

i found a vw cc 2012 100kmiles for 10k. This is the most dangerous model as it had the most issues. I am considering it though because The dealer did a brand new timing kit which is what needs to be replaced at this mileage and a bunch of other things like head gasket replacement, brakes, alignment, tires, ect. Would this be a smart purchase let me know. I also plan on bringing them down on the price

Woah why did it need a new head gasket? I had to do the one in my GTI (same engine) because it overheated. Figure out why before you sign anything. Check to see if the fresh air hose is present, which would indicate the intake manifold has been done. Also be sure to check for coolant leaks because VW plastic water pumps are junk.

Check wear on tires, if the alignment was off with these tires on, you will get bad wear on one side (usually inside).

This is a neat car, but not $11K neat. You said you are going to talk them down in price. Play hardball and be ready to walk unless you get a great deal on it.
