HI all,
New member here! Need some advice on a purchase in the nest few days.
Im new to VW's, always wanted one so im now looking at a 2005 golf TDi Comfortline, DSG.
Im concerned on a few things, im going to get an independent check on the car to find out any possible problems. Its looks like a clean car, no wear on the interior, but its done 131,000k. The service books are up to date, but on the one stamped for the 120,000k service it was stamped but none of the boxes where ticked and i understand this should be the timing chain one?
I've also read scary posts on other forums about the dual clutches going on the DSG boxes! Is this true?
I've taken it for a drive in traffic and highway and its all very smooth, engine pick up was great (grey smoke on hard acceleration, but apparently after chatting to the VW Village thats normal?), DGS had smooth changes in auto and manual, no clunking anywhere. Aircon was cold, windows all worked (all auto up) as did the cruise control Like a new car.
The car will come with a 3 year warranty all for $15,000. Is this good? Should i worry about the higher mileage? Im awaiting an answer from the dealer re the warranty as VW Village said to ask what the payout limit was for a claim, as the DGS is about $10,000 to replace!
Any info would be really useful.
Cheers
