Hi:
I found a 2003 TDI(with 12,000 miles)that Im considering buying.
But... the dealer has the car in the shop, and told me the original owner put gas in the tank. First he said it was getting a new factory engine, now he says they are replacing pistons, etc.. Would gasoline cause this type of damage? And if they sold it with a certified warranty starting at 0 miles, should I still consider it?
or run?
I found a similiar one with 17000 miles that I can probably
get for about $1000.00 more than the damaged one. What to do.
