Thank God i can do most mechanical stuff myself, short of pulling the head or block. Got 151k miles on my 2010,goes 70 miles per day, check your oil, change your filters, every weekend have a look at all fluid levels , tire pressure, etc. Also, they seem to run better if you speak German to them and listen to German music in them. Theyre just homesick 😂. Seriously tho, i attribute my luck to the hour long daily highway drives, everything gets nice and warmed up, no sludge, no idling. Cold drives ruin any car. Idk, maybe i either got lucky or got a good one someone really cared for.
Maintenance is everything, I wouldn’t base my opinion on an auctioned car though. Especially when you have no idea what the previous owner(s) did or didn’t do. It’s your first vw at 109,000 miles. Try a new one, maintain it, you’ll love it.
I was told by a car dealer to stay away from facelifted versions of cars, because they are way more expensive to fix anything on than the previous version.
The CC is not worth it. We bought a 2013 used, beautiful luxurious car, built like a tank, but maintenance, finding parts getting to any parts is so much money. This is normal for VW CC because of the scarcity of them and the design of these cars where so much requires disassembly of majority of the car. Had a coolant leak, about a grand roughly to fix it. Parts are hard to source
I have one it’s nice but it’s hard to find parts since they stop making them in 2016 Most face book got parts or Mexico pages too that ship cheap for oem parts
German 2008-2016 ish engines petrol or diesel will need a carbon clean every 50k miles, now matter how you look after it. It'll be ready for bushings & engine mounts throughout because of the age, and watch out for dust covers on those rear shocks. Cheaper to repair these than replace the shocks! Also consider Waxoil or some other underbody coating, will reduce future expensive rust buggery
I bought a 2013 VW CC Sport Plus (26k miles) from Avis car rental. After the orig. warr. ended, I got misfires on cyl. 3; $1000 and a new fuel injector! Now the water pump leaks and most mechs. want $2500 to replace a water pump! (They have to remove the entire manifold just to get to the pump!) I used Bar's Stop Leak and it seems to have stopped the leak, but in the interim it clogged the heater core! This weekend I flushed the heater core and now my heat is back! They carbon buildup has to be cleaned out every 50k miles too! (Major work) I have 105k miles on it now... I'd NEVER get another German car because they're WAY too difficult to work on! No radiator caps or drain plugs, sealed transmission, so replacing the fluid isn't an easy job. Looking for an easy to work on car, like my old 1970 Chevy Nova!
just got one im buying looked at and cylinder 3 has a misfire and he said with every tsi engine hes dealt with that had timing problems cylinder 3 started to misfire before anything else
@@alexwalter9819 Test your PVC breather assembly before pulling apart the entire engine! I just replaced mine ($30 aftermarket) and it solved all misfires and EPC and engine light errors. It was an easy fix!
I love VWs myself, but they are absolutely trash! If not taken care of properly. Also, anything over 70-80k miles you're in for a treat lol. Nice car though 🤙🏾
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2013 also, it test drove well but when I had 20 minutes into driving it, and right after I fueled it, I started having issues with it. Check engine light on and either misfire malfunction or engine trouble.

They can be good cars if you can find a clean one, especially the vr6 4 motion those are reliable. In this case you got a bad example. But the parts will be expensive comparatively to a Toyota I mean it's a 13 year old German car, to be expected.
hmm, im thinking about a 2016 with 52k -really cool car and nicely equipped, but this is giving me thrid thoughts....it might be differnet if the used car prices weren't so ridiculous, but the car listed for 1k more than they are asking 3+ years ago!

I have a CC, everything is expensive & extremely hard to locate. The CC’s are as finicky as a woman & worrisome as an ex gf .. 😢
Lol 😂

I buying another one and I actually really like it They pretty nice cars it’s very hard to find the body parts for
@@arsentrucking7883 i agree they are very nice.

My water pump went up recently…. 89k on the odo. I think the big thing that’s lacking would be the materials used for the auxiliaries

The CC is a money pit. Stay away from it. I owned one, and it was a nightmare.

Cc is a great car, you just had bad luck with buying damaged vehicles, i also think for you its not helping living not in the eu like me.
I like too but we have a hard time to find parts in US and they are very expensive
He just bought the wrong car, theres money to be made in salvage cars.

I found a clean vr6 4motion that i’m looking to finance. Would you recommend? it has over 113k miles on it. Need advice
it’s a 2009 also
For how much?

Yep
thats why most crashed VW CC endup shipped to Ukraine/romania/russia/ and many other eastern European nations
Yep
Great video i was about to do the same thing now i change my mind thakyou
But that’s the 2.0t right. VR6 should be better
put the second car in copart auction to recoop some of your cash.
Sometime it’s a option good option
Just don't get in an accident....
Sorry about this.
There it is
No audio
What do you mean
You didn’t do your research, that’s what your problem was.
Yep
