How NOT to buy a Volkswagen CC 

Literally 🤣

Oh man got mine for 4k in 2017, a week off the lot the rear main went out. All in all I spent about 8k in parts before I wrecked the damn thing in two years lmao. I will say hitting a guard rail at over 90 mph, the thing saved my life before literally shredding to pieces.

Literally …

It needs to be junked.

i bought an identical one and long story short an absolute piece of junk. with only 70 thousand miles it needed a timing chain which included removing the transmission and it was a 7k job. Also a myriad of issues like parking sensor wiring failed and interior was trashed with low miles. and all the tail lights were broken. make it make sense. went back to the auction

This certainly has some Big Altima Energy.....

Definitely purchased at a buy here pay here lot.

😂🤣 What is it about the Altima. Seems like they're all used and abused.

Had to google this Nissan, never heard it... but seems more a US maket car? My dad has a Nissan Primera 2010, not a good looking car, but reliable...motor seems simmilar long running as those in our 2 and 3 Golfs, Grüße ! Edit, but had lots of rust at the last TÜV also simmilar to a Golf3 😂Both modells need rust sealing

​@@UsoundsGermany Nissan Teana In Japan, China, and other Asian markets, the L33 Altima became the third-generation Teana. The third generation Nissan Teana was introduced to Japan as a rebadged version of the North American Altima. In Japan, the Teana is offered in 2.5L engine with three different trims; XV, XL and XE.

How you take care of something speaks volumes about peoples character and priorities. That applies to much more than just cars. If someones car is a junk heap with parts falling off, garbage and laundry on the inside, rolling around with bald tires.....can you imagine what their house/apt. looks like?

Hey @@MikeBaloga, this car is totally fine for hauling garbage and itself to the crusher.

It's the same reason people avoid maintenance that cost money money that they usually don't have because they probably got that car on a loan this is why 20-year-old sports cars when you have a clean well maintained relatively stock example of one they tend to be worth a bit because they tend to get bought up by people who can't afford the maintenance on them

This is a lot more common than I would like to believe. I have a 2015 Golf that I maintain meticulously and it looks like new. My coworkers never believe me when I tell them it's a 2015 and claim it looks too new for a car that is 8 years old. I came to the conclusion that most Americans are just slobs.

@@stcktrader Yep, same. My previous 2001 Golf TDI and my current 2015 Golf TDI are immaculate, and people always can't believe they're as old as they are. People just don't care about their vehicles. They always want the 'next thing'.

lol had mine since 2016 78k miles bought since 20k no major issues just wear and tear items, people don’t know how to maintain these cars and it doesn’t help when vw says 10k oil changes are fine when they arnt. u bought lemons

Are those pictures current?

@@rjmarium, yes.. sure. Sort of. And check engine light is on because of a bad gas cap, I’m just too busy to fix it. My loss your gain. 😜

@@JamiesGarage1 No lowballers. I know what I have.

mine is currently making me regret this car as it sits with a blow turbo right now lol

Pothead teenager's first car? 🤣

Mix someone who doesn't know shit about cars, care about maintenance (or by the looks of it much of anything), low income, and this is what you get.

Guaranteed the previous owner bitches about "those damn unreliable German cars"...

As someone with a CC this car is very much unreliable

@@alexanderpsaras5663 exactly why i got rid of mine, it was a 3.6 4motion and it was fun. Just hated trying to chase down the next thing

Funny that just seems like a normal Volkswagen after 8 years here in New Jersey or Pennsylvania I'm surprised it's not straight piped and slammed with eBay fenders that have surface rust on them

@That V8 Life happens all the time That's what marketplace is like now when you're dealing with that cheap of a car it was like this on craigslist before as well nothing new

"DON'T TRY TO UPSELL ME!" -Almost Every Customer Ever

And it's at the dealer because the customer just bought it and they haven't yet figured out that it's a wreck and they shouldn't take it to the dealer. Two hard lessons at once

It's a cheap luxury car this is completely normal there is a reason when normal people come to me for what car they should buy I recommend them a Toyota or a Honda and if they're buying you get the best warranty possible and follow it to a queue and then as soon as the warranties up dump it and go get another one

I have one and the amount of maintenance this car has over 100k is insane its just a car with a ton of problems

Ya bcuz u can neglect those with zero consequences. Btw I'm german

a toyota would still be in better shape

You neglect a Toyota for 10 years, it will still probably drive. A VW won't.

@Noor Kareem not a modern one.

Vr6 4mo Passat was a cool ass car with dynaudio and such

I agree. Car still looks great and modern, if you find one in a different condition than this one .. most have very high mileage here in Germany... But all motorway miles, so can last for a loong time.

This!

Are there skodas in America?

@@bigmansir3745 nope

Ratchet straps may have been put on after purchase or for drama...but if ya live anywhere near southern Indiana, west VA, Kentucky or Tennessee...it may be SOP!😂

Love my 14’ vr6

Thank you and hello from Berlin

What carbon problem?

@@eden20111those 2.0s are notorious for having problems I hear

HOW MUCH?

@@german1980 I’m in Australia. Had 105K kms on it. $14,000

And the truth is that most people in America at least do not have a high tolerance for preventative maintenance. Especially here in the Northeast.

Don’t think they do annual inspections over in the US!

​@john turner we do, it just depends on what state. I know for a fact California and New York have them. I know there are other states, but they are two of the most notable ones. Where I am, people have half of their cars rusted out and still drive lol

In a lot of states and some provinces you can buy a car and register it without any inspections ever.

Depends on the state some like California and New York in Vermont or more strict some do it once a year some do it every 2 years some states have no inspection at all because they view it as unconstitutional also some states allow you to not have a title if a car is over 30 years old

​​@@RyanRiopel for a lot of Americans I realistically think that's the only way they could afford owning a car like a coworker of mine had an early 2000s GM that was fairly good but the power steering rack went it cost $3,500 in a mechanic to replace that was more than what he paid for the whole car The car is worth maybe $1,200 in a good day

Daughter purchased program car, a lease return. She was told it was an 1990 model but she never looked at the title...it was older...with a v 6 motor...the car was built around that motor! It was a full sized sedan rode comfortably. Purchased with 55k on it if that's believable. Not dip stick for auto trans. When it got to around 80k told her she needed to purchase an Asian auto or the vw was gonna become a money pit. Then she got a campaign letter about her sunroof needing factory authorized repair. So even though the car had been thru a recent hurrican where local areas were flooded and her car remained dry she went into the nefarious claws of the local VW dealer in daytona, then located on west end of Mason Ave. They kept the car for repairs...then called told us the huge over sized battery that's was in great shape all of a sudden died. So we purchased a battery from local parts house at 1/4 the cost of what v.w. wanted and went on our way. Within days it rained and her car had 4-5" of water in it. Back to the dealer they said it was not their fault..😮 though no leaks were apparent until after they worked on it as a factory recall. Few weeks later she said dad check under my car it smells like hot grease...after inspection revealed a nice clean case cutter slice across the outboard CV joint bellows passenger side allowing grease to go everywhere. As a master ASE mechanic diesel gas med & heavy truck from experience knew C.V. boots never tear across bellows usually in the valleys...daughter called vw for bellow kit. Nope only new half Axle at ruffly $500.00. So to save her removed and replaced with after market for like 1/5th of quoted price...could not find a boot kit in our area. That sealed it. She traded for a Asian car and is still driving it today. German cars, unreliable when compared to asian cars. Plus require speciality tools, factory is slow to share pertinent information for repairs parts too expensive...their not the peoples car. They are for gear heads who live to twist wrenches or for folks who get a swelled head spending money on lots of German maintenence. Wouldn't own one if I won it happily sell it asap! Sadly VW lost its original mission statement years ago... Ferdinand & Adolf must be rolling in their graves....😢

seat is spanish for quality

its a fairly common issue on the 1.4 tsi if you work on them enough. ive replaced a handfull of them

Bingo.

Or the owner happened to be Mr moneybags and just got everything fixed as soon as it broke and didn't even look at the bill

​@@TwoDollarGararge That would be ideal

@@snoopy5736 have a Mark 4 2.0 golf 230,000 miles right now owned by an old lady clearly she just wrote a check for the parts bazooka every wear item and potential problem item is new if the mechanic didn't mess the belt up and bend some valves it would have been great

@@TwoDollarGararge I have an A4 B7 , oil pump balance shaft went out. 134k

haha yes! I'm just wondering what the ad would look like, if you were to sell this car based on it's positives.. * Front shocks have no leaks * Head gasket intact * Factory alloy wheels * Runs & drives ^ ^ not recommended Umm, did I miss any?..

Its because he got high, because he got high, Because he got hi-i-iiii
