Hi everyone.
This is my first post here. So I apologize if I am posting in a wrong thread- but i would appreciate any comment or opinion.
I found this car on craigslist- GTI 2015- with 46K miles and the owner is asking for $16K. Autobahn, DSG.
I currently own a 2007 corolla with 120K miles. I have saved up cash for a new car.
I have never owned a GTI but they were my favorite cars forever. I drove a 2003 anniversary edition to Colorado from AZ and absolutely loved it. But I have no idea about the maintenance and costs of it.
So my question is are there any big maintenance cost coming up at 50K miles or 60K miles- or in general how much is the cost of owning one? Do I need to be concerned about any belt issues or transmission issues or brakes that need to be replaced soon?
More importantly, I read online that used GTIs are a risk, because their original owner may have abused them! So is there anything I should check to make sure?
I heard about 2015 bad turbo batch. Should I be concerned about that?
Also the owner said the car has extended warranty.
A little abt me. I am a graduate student and hopefully will graduate and start working in May.
I would appreciate any insight about this,
