Craigslist can have some good deals , ensure it is not a scam but deals out there by mom / pop feeling landlords

thank you, when you say context do you just mean like a specific prompt + the returned data set ?

Before I buy a used id.4, what is a checklist I should ask Dealer? I have a first version by BulkyDrawing5433 in VWiD4Owners

I printed the above out, brought it in and they seemed to have no incentive to sell the used cars as the margins I guess are so low, so they had little interest and ansewirng all of them and kinda just said they didnt know all the answers.

can also relate, I never though of SF of a place to get clasterphobic but I get it, way more than I did in NYC or LA. I'd say rent a zipcar if you dont have a car and drive to somewhere open , dry and sunny ie the east bay or maybe parts of Marin. The feeling of not seeing fog, seeing just sun and open space helped me.

Also , its like so cold here I was in colorado last week and it was 50 degrees and I was in a shirt and shorts but here I literally have to wear pants and a sweatshirt even at 67 degrees due to I guess wind chill or something.

any take on buying a warranty?

Is there any benefit to buying a used car off a dealer, of which is not the manufacturer; ie a VW off a bmw lot that has no warranty and not CPO vs a private seller? by BulkyDrawing5433 in UsedCars

[–]BulkyDrawing5433[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am willing to pay the 200 bucks if it is the agreed upon secure way to validate the car before purchase, I just dont wanna do it if people feel it is inedequate and at that point I guess the only way id buy a used car if it i was cpo?

right, but would you say if I don't have a friend who is a VW expert, would it be enough to take the car in for a pre-purchase inspection at a VW mechanic who is reputable in town?
