Oooh... the Krauts have a window-sticker plan. We’re all really scared.
Anyway, who cares? VWs are mostly crap.
I’m so glad I got rid of my VW.
Now I can go out of town in my Mazda and not have to worry about breaking down and being stranded.
“VWs are mostly crap”
i remember the absolute disaster the Vanagon was when it came out as i knew a few people who stupidly had bought one ...
i also remember during the 70’s OPEC-created oil crisis when my father bought an Audi, purported to be fuel-efficient. and that it frequently just halted in mid-stride, which was disconcerting during the middle of the night ... apparently, the electronics were a cousin to Lucas Electrics ...
and then there’s BMW, though not owned by Volkswagon, my mechanic friend claimed they were throw-away cars because the engine blocks were too thin to rebore and BMW refused to sell new engine blocks ...
overall, expensive junk that’s EXTREMELY expensive to repair ...
We enjoyed our 97 Passat wagon (purchased used) a LOT. Unfortunately for them they have service departments run by demons and the cost spread over American cars at the time for parts was like 3X. Their service department pissed me off so much (cursing at and belittling my wife) that I found a silent recall on the vehicle for heater cores, had them replace it free (an odyssey involving full dash assembly removal on a vehicle with 217,000 miles on it LOL) and drove it straight from their dealership to Saturn and traded it in on a new LW300 wagon.
