Everything I've read says that the VW extended warranty on "buybacks" applies only to emissions-related components.
My salesman absolutely insists that I have a 5 year, 60,000 miles BUMPER-TO-BUMPER "new car" warranty from VW, despite the vehicle being a previously titled buy-back. I pointed out what VW said in their paperwork, but he still disagrees.
What is the truth? It's an important point. If the bumper-to-bumper warranty started when the car was initially titled then it's 2 to 3 years old already. That's a "used car" by any standard. If it actually has a "new car warranty" then the 2500 miles that were on the clock don't bother me, especially considering it's a much better warranty than a new VW gasser.
