  • I just bought a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg TDI!
    This luxurious SUV was part of the Volkswagen Dieselgate 2 years ago. It was bought back by Volkswagen and fixed to match the emission regulation. Once VW completed the recall, I decided to buy it.

    I have a 2013 Touareg TDI. It is a towing BEAST! I've towed a 4,500 lbs. camper over the Grapevine in California and back as well as to Yosemite and back and in the Santa Fe mountains and back. While towing this camper it gets a remarkable 14.5 mpg. I love this vehicle!

      I just bought a 2012 TDi Executive with 103k miles from a VW dealer for 13k USD (15k with with registration, fees, and taxes). How many miles on yours? Are you willing to share what you paid?

    I highly recommend the 2010 YM, especially if you’re in the market for one under $20k and want more off road chops. IMO the first gen drives much better too. It’s handling is just phenomenal and doesn’t feel as bulky as the second gen. And of the first gens I would really only recommend the 2010 unless maintenance costs aren’t a priority for you. The 2010 is the only year they ever made that was rated reliable, and I certainly wouldn’t want a 11+ year old unreliable vehicle which are your only other first gen options. Gonna be cheaper to maintain than a second gen too. Second gens have that 100k mile warranty but you’re gonna be in trouble as soon as the warranty expires.

    Also the 2013 brought in the newer more refined 3.0 TDi. Making it the same motor as was being used in Europe.

      @TheRealMeCoWhy  5 років тому +1

      The gen2 Touaregs come with 100k miles/10 years powertrain warranty. Then there is an additional warranty 4 years / 48k miles from the moment the car was fixed, on the dieselgate fixed cars for components affected by the fix: fuel system, exhaust, engine, ecu etc. Check with vw on details for your specific vehicle if you plan to get one.
