Should I?

[WillyT]

I am looking at a 2013 touareg tdi with only 86000 km. How much should I be paying for this suv. Full service records from dealer. Winter and summer rim with good rubber.

 

[speed185187]

15-17 thousand dollaroos according to nada. Of course cleanliness and wear n tear play a big roll as well.

 

[WillyT]

Is this a Canadian price?

 

[PRY4SNO]

Options and condition will play a role.

Does it come with rubber mats? Is the retractable cargo cover included?

Any issues with the sun shades? Do all the lights and buttons work?

Has it sat for any prolonged period? That would have a big impact on seals, bushings, and the fuel system.

Is the NAV update current?

Is the belly pan installed with all bolts, and relatively unscathed?

Lots of things I'd be looking at before going to autotrader.ca, FB Marketplace, and Kijiji to determine value across similar trim vehicles.

 

[WillyT]

Yes to all that. This is also the execuline model in white. Oil was also changed every 3000 to 5000 km as per carfax. I am 2.5 hours away from this car and he has sent me like 20 pics up on a hoist. New brakes also. 2 key fobs. Tow package.

I'd make sure you know what you're looking at.
A 12 year old TDI with only 86k km on it, spent most of its life just sitting. This is now out of warranty, and "all maintenance records" basically means it's had a few oil changes done. It's probably still on its 2nd or 3rd fuel filter at most. If you're up to speed on what a CNRB is like to own\maintain, then go have a look at it in person and decide. The fact that it's 2.5hrs away from you is irrelevant. I drove around and looked at about a dozen different ones, all over Ontario, back in '18 when I bought mine.... none were local to me.

Local market is a huge impact along with things beyond the shine ..
Looks under it ..have seen lipstick on a pig cars that had more corrosion than average and also ones that look brand new underneath.....same for rotor's and suspension.

Filter was changed once. The dude says it's scheduled every 60. Bs i would say every 20 to 30000 yes?

 

[TurboABA]

Already shady AF... what's the maintenance schedule say?

 

[WillyT]

This is the write up. Asking for carfax now.

2013 Touareg TDI Execline every available option including rear heated seats panoramic sunroof keyless entry parking sensors etc brand new brakes all the way around no accidents one owner all service history since new always dealer maintained fresh oil change winter tires on rims lowest km Touareg TDI available PRICE IS FIRM. LIKE NEW CONDITION AND EVERYTHING WORKS.

 

[TurboABA]

Rear heated seats is NOT an option... it's part of the Exec package... as is kessy, sunroof, park sensors... the only "option" on a '13 Exec would've been the tow hitch.

Did you see where I asked what the maintenance schedule says?
Have you looked at the schedule? Does it say change your fuel filter every 60k?
Carfax is a joke.... ask for the full service records from the dealership who allegedly maintained it.
Read here.... I've supplied input to others asking similar questions... if you care

Actually I just was reading all that before you responded. I reached out to the owner for all the service records from the dealership. This is a private sale and more I learn the more I'm hesitate. Thanks for all your information. Appreciate you

 

[TurboABA]

Get the VIN, call a dealer, tell them you're about to buy this.
Ask them to provide the full service history and build data of the vehicle... they may have to get the owner's blessing to give you that... so if he's not shady, he should comply.
Since it's a private sale, do not trust anything he says.... check everything yourself. Full VCDS scan prior to purchase is highly recommended. TDI Touaregs are complex, and a low mileage, neglected (service wise) specimen that's recently out of the dieselgate warranty is not something that you want unless you're intimately familiar with them, or have lots of disposable funds to spend on fixing\maintaining it.

How do I pm u

 

[TurboABA]

How do I pm u

I'm flattered, but you should know I'm married

 

[WillyT]

I'm flattered, but you should know I'm married

Lol no I just wanted to send a reply that I received after reaching out to the seller for the maintenance records.

 

[WillyT]

Lol no I just wanted to send a reply that I received after reaching out to the seller for the maintenance records.

All services are up to date. I think i have been pretty reasonable with all your requests up to now.Not be rude but I am not scanning all the service docs. for you when its more than likely you will not come and see the car or will ghost away like everyone else on FB market place.

 

[TurboABA]

Ok, not sure what you'd like me to do about that response. You're too lazy to waste your time to go look at a potential unicorn, the seller is too lazy to scan 10 papers.... Did you want me to go PPI this thing for you?

I don't even know what PPI means. No I am not to lazy. It's only been since Friday that i started getting all this info from him. I do intend to look but would like to see those papers first. Dude is also asking 26500 for this.

 

[TurboABA]

LMAO... Are you ok? Or how much cash is in the trunk?
PPI = Pre Purchase Inspection

I am now lol. Thanks

IMHO, if dude is asking that kind of coin for it, he should be more than willing (realistically, he should've already had all documentation/evidence/disclosure of every service in full detail) to scan records. I'd want dates off the tires, evidence of brake fluid flushes every 2 years, and A LOT of info... If this was me looking at this vehicle for that price, I'd want paint measurements! This thing had better be in showroom condition with zero missed PM (we already know he's skimped on fuel filters). Go look at it and judge for yourself, but that thing sounds like a 18-20k vehicle at best, IF everything checks out.

Ya i know eh! he should be giving me the moon. I have seen all of these vehicles with 200k and they are asking 20k for them. There is actually one 2016 I believe for 33k. Stupid. He must of paid to much for it so now he is reaching

 

[TurboABA]

That '16 has been for sale for months... Dreamers! There's an 04 v10tdi in North Bay for 30k if you really want the splurge.... People are cray cray

 

[WillyT]

Thanks for all your help.

 

[TurboABA]

I'd say go look at it with lowball cash in hand. If it's something that interests you , pull out your 18k or whatever it's worth to you and see if he bites at it. In my opinion, you hold the bargaining chips. He's already confirmed that he's not getting serious interest. (Due to unrealistic expectation)
