i live in the middle of the pacific and therefore have resorted to internet shopping for a 2017 sport model. found one w/16K miles on it, clean carfax, regular maintenance. on the last maintenance checkup, it said that the drive belt and oil pan cap and thermostat were all replaced. but otherwise nothing else. still about 18 mos. VW factory warranty on the car.
16K is a bit early for the drive belt to be replaced, but perhaps a faulty oil plug led to the premature wear/tear of the drive belt. otherwise, the car looks (from pics) great, has that clean carfax. should i be worried about the above maintenance replacements? i’ll pick up the car in 5 days...of course, i haven’t actually given them my money yet and can cancel the purchase, but just wanted to check with all you experts here about any potential issues down the road.
oh, and first time poster here...nice to meet y’all.
