1. Should not be an issue to replace them. cost??? check at firstvwparts.com - possible to get them cheaper from a part out. Probably caused by carelessness when folding the seats down.

2. also likely simple to replace. cost??? Not sure what's under it, but I might be inclined to just leave it.

3. I must be missing something. It looks normal to me.

4&5 I don't know. Center caps can be found cheap.

I think what you have to decide is whether you want a perfect used vehicle or something pretty good. You do have some bargaining chips.

I would, though, insist on seeing the service and maintenance records. Also I would want to see a carfax on it.

But if it all checks out and priced right then why not? Unless you are looking for perfect - in which case keep looking - near perfect ones are out there but are hard to find and command a premium.

Best of luck.

 

thanks for the quick reply. the carfax came back without any issues... i posted a better picture of the door panel here with an arrow pointing to the break.

Looks like someone was hard on the interior trip parts..Was the Treg left outside or in a garage?? Maybe that can be the peeling trim issues..Nice color combo..Ck the CarFax report..

 

With how rough the interior was taken care of, regardless of if children were involved in destroying it (why would parents tolerate this behavior is beyond me), I would be concerned about how the vehicle was abused overall. It may have a good service record and a clean car fax, but that doesn't mean it wasn't abused like the interior has been. I would steer clear of a vehicle that has this sort of damage that is beyond regular wear and tear, just my opinion though.

 

None of this is normal or common...someone beat on the interior and didn't care to fix it.

Parts are always available but there's an easy $2000 worth of stuff to replace..

 

#1 - THESE LINKS SHOWS BROKEN PLASTIC UNDER REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS. BOTH ARE BROKEN. ARE THEY REPLACEABLE? EXPENSIVE? SUGGESTIONS WELCOME?

These plastic parts serve as a bumper as you fold the rear seat down, then a metal tab on the seat bottom fits into a slot in these to support whatever you put in top. They break frequently. I've made a mold and I'm recasting these with a high grade impact resistant polymer. They are solid and take quite a beating. I've beat mine all to hell testing them and they are still holding up fine.

I'll cast you a set if you want ... but the color choices are dark amber, really dark brown, or medium brown. The raw material is dark amber so it's hard to get the add-in coloring to do much good. My interior is the same as in your picture, and I can try my best to match it but no guarantees on color match.

They would be $8 for the pair plus shipping / handling - total of $10 in the U.S.

 

Dave, you said you can make these with no guarantees on color...I am not sure of the exact color of my interior (as I bought a previously loved Treg) but it is dark grey. Any chance you can make these to sorta match my interior, or happen to know the part number I need so I can get ones to match? Thanks!

 

Those plastic parts easily break, are cheap and easily replaceable.

Major issue is with the door panel. No fix unless you replace the door panel which is well over $600 new.

My T-reg has the exact same problem on the rear right door panel and I believe was caused by the dealer when they repaired a window motor problem.

The door panel once removed is tricky to put back correctly. If it does not sit precisely, this is what happens and it cannot be fixed unless the whole door panel is replaced.

Problem is when you close the door, you can see the door panel flip and move. It also creates a weird noise and also may rattle when you are driving by uneven surfaces.

 

offer accepted

we have an accepted offer at 14,800. There is a remainder if the extended warranty on the car that I am transfering into my name thru premier. I am a lil skeptical that I am over paying but these are rare and it has a lot going for it.. i hope to get all the little imperfections fixed asap.. I am already not looking forward to the timing belt, water pump and full 60 k tune up which is gonna run me 2k...

For the miles, warranty, condition and color combo you're getting a pretty fair deal.

Do your homework though. I see you're in the LI area. Depending on where this vehicle resides, I'd be concerned that it has flood damage from Hurricane Sandy. Buyer Beware when dealing with private sellers. Check under those carpets, in the engine compartment, spare wheel well, etc...

 

#1. Easy fix, held with 2 screws accessible by removing the headrest. I think I paid one $12
#2 and #3 don't know
#4. Same thing on mine.
#5. Replaced 2 of them on mine that were peeling/faded, around $15 each, easy fix.
You may have some chrome lug covers missing as well...

Small plastic parts are not expensive nor difficult to replace IMHO
I would be more concerned about peeling of the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, moonroof and windows controls, it looks really bad and is expensive to replace.
Do you have more pictures of the interior?

 

Im starting to lean away from this vehicle in particular... maybe even the Touareg in general... the 2k service is really a kick in the balls....
