I've had a decent amount of VWs in the past, my DD is a mk4 Golf which I am currently getting a lot of work done to. Right now I am carless, and my fiance wants a new TDI. She drives a crap box exploder, and I am thinking about buying a mk6 wagon for her, so I can take the exploder in the time being.
I looked at a local dealer, one who I have bought several VWs through in the past, and they have a nice looking 2012 CPO with 24k on the clock for a good price. On their site it says with the CPO apparently comes with a 2 year warranty with unlimited mileage.
First, does this have something to do with diesel-gate? I've never seen a CPO from VW with unlimited miles on the warranty. Or is this something the dealer is doing do you think? I'm not about to get excited over a 3rd party "extended warranty", in the past I have only been burned by those and were a total waste of money.
My second worry is the HPFP system. I have a feeling if I ask the dealer about it, they will just give me the general "Oh yeah that's covered! everything is covered!" blanket statement. Then if something does go wrong, they will blame the fuel etc and give me a $8k invoice for the repair. Would is be dick-ish/unreasonable (especially with a CPO car) to ask for something additional in writing that the HPFP system will be covered?
I do have pretty good standings with this dealer, I have bought several cars from them, and when it comes to factory warranties have never had an issue.
Edit: This is the link for the car, please no one steal it from me haha. I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow. https://www.burnsvillevw.com/certif...ortwagen-472af89b0a0e0ae8572324ccae27663c.htm
