looking at an 04 V8

t-regVA · 11-29-2006

The more I read about the Touareg the more I want one. I am looking at an 04 V8 with about 46,000 miles and I think I am gonna buy. Any tips? What problems should I look out for?

I want one now!

BTW I like the way they drive, been testing everything from a new one to this one.

Make sure you get an extended warranty. As any car out of warranty is potential for issue.

Contact 13 year vet, hehas great deals on extended warranties. you have to get it before 50K.

Go for it. I have 2004 and love it. I bought it used and now have 81K miles on it. Find a VW service department that has a Touareg trained technician. Don't try to get it serviced anywhere else. The Touareg is a very complex vehicle. I also get 17 - 18 mpg with a mix a highway and back road commute.

Yeah right that is why they sell warranties. So they can lose money on that? I don't think so
