i see it as a problem if i have to go in for warranty work if ur battery goes bad under 25k miles come on dude

I've seen batteries go bad sooner, all depends how you treat it. I took my car in to get one of the top latches replaced because it wasn't sealing properly, it was a plastic cover that cracked because the previous owner didnt seal the top right once. They didn't have the plastic seperately so they gave me a whole new latch. That's not a problem, it's owner mis-use.

CELs, blowing smoke, pcv valves, those seem like problems.

Like I said, I just don't care.

PCV is maintenance....

Granted, but at 3k miles?!

To me, its like going to a restaraunt. If 10 people told me they got sick from there, and one person says "no thats all bull**** its a good place" I won't exactly be convinced, and that's how euro cars are, MAJORITY of people I know who have owned them have had issues with them and I won't buy one to see "maybe I'll get lucky and have one of the good ones".

If you listen to the radio a lot with the car off, it wll go bad sooner. We've had cars at work with 7k miles that had batteries go bad too, but there were reasons for it.

I think I might side with Clean now. Just broke 1-2 shift fork on a basically stock car with no aggressive shifting. Maybe I jinx'd myself with some of these posts.

Lemon Law only works if you were the first owner.

not true at all. Car only must not have already been deemed a lemon.

All that is required is a substantial problem that does not get corrected after 3+ attempts at repairs by an authorized dealer (not sure if you can use your own mechanic)

There are other mitigating circumstances like you have to report the problem within a certain mileage, etc... but you absolutely do not have to be the 1st owner.

I just called Lemon Law Firm Serving PA & NJ for ****'s and giggles and they even told me you have to be the original owner as a used car there can be other issues.

I don't know about Lemon Law personally but we have people sign the forms for it at our dealership, we only sell used cars.

I love VW and Audi styling – I hate horror stories owners tell me. It seems older VW’s aren’t bad. The newer ones however, seem to be the worse ones. I heard Audi has some issues as well, but I can’t afford the cars anyways :D.

I don’t have any personal experience with either of them, I just know what my friends go through.

I never thought I’d agree with CleanNeon… but I did :-O. Considering how new the car is – it shouldn’t have any issues. Another thing, everyone is putting the blame on Bosch, but my parent’s cars have Bosch O2 sensors and they don’t have any issues.
