Would you buy this Golf?
hi looking at buying 1.2 tsi golf 2010 owner siad engine was replaced lasy year by vw garage because failed to service it in 2 years .Vw have given 2 year warranty on this engine would you buy this car
Our answer:
Hi Sean,
Well, it sounds as if the engine itself should be fine, being as it's been replaced and you're getting a warranty on it, but if the car wasn't serviced for two years then what about the rest of it? Brakes? Gearbox? Steering, etc? Check it very, very carefully and maybe consider having it inspected by an independent expert, such as the AA. I'd be reluctant to buy such a car in truth.
