I am in the market for a used car and came accross a 2005 New Jetta 2.5L automatic at a local Saturn dealership. The car came off a lease( I have seen the carfax report )and was upgraded with heated leather seats, moon roof, alloys etc. The car has 40000 miles on it and they are asking $11,000

Couple of questions on this. The price seems awfully low, KBB has this car at around $14,000. I have also heard that VWs are very expensive to maintain. Anyone have any thoughts on these questions? I'm hoping that you guys have some positive responses and this will be my first VW.

 

One more piece of information - the carfax report states that the external headlights were replaced three times 11/25/06, 04/06/07, 08/03/07. Is this something to worry about?

 

one thing you should know is vw definitely arent known to have great electrical, and thats basically the root of all the problems for vw i couldnt tell you why they are trying to sell it to you for so cheap, they might have just raped someone for it and now they just need the money cause of the difficult ecomony, actually thats not likely lol idk, or they have just had it on their lot for a while and cant sell it but the 2.5L engine is kinda loud for a small car, not a lot of power, not very good gas mileage, so idk what else to tell you about it

 

Are you mechanically inclined with cars? If so, ur half way there. And stick with the forums, they're priceless!
