No, I know what u mean, lol. We’d be dubbin on that street fo rillz!
I can’t imagine what the V10 TDI must sound like. I think I may be taking a trip down to this dealer sometime soon after I secure some doll hairs for the purchase of this pig.
Does anyone know what the life expectancy of the engine/drive-train on these things is by some off chance?

just outside warranty would be my guess.

lol, yeah that would figure. I’d imagine there’s a few things that need to be done, but I would be able to do them all soon enough. I’m not afraid of dropping this out of the truck either if need be. It would be easier to work on anyway!

No joke, I just watched that a minute before you posted it up! That is the sickest thing ever. Gear driven timing and it’s variable! I’m down for picking this thing up for sure, lol.

Yeah, expensive to fix for sure, but not a whole hell of a lot more than most cars. Found a used TDI V10 with 7k miles for 5k so it’s not looking too bad for this one.
These things sound like they have some sack to them!

kinda what I’m thinking. If your serrious about buying one better make sure it comes with a stack of service records and hasn’t been beaten to within an inch of it’s life.

His post implied that a replacement _engine_ was 5K, not the entire vehicle

I’d get the service history on this thing for sure before I even think of purchasing this one. Also, I’d be looking into some sort of warranty for it as well. If there’s even a possibility of something going wrong I’d like to have some insurance against it. It worked well with my wife’s car so it shouldn’t be a problem with one of these. It won’t be much of a payment wither with over 8k toward the purchase either. So yeah, like Cossey said, there won’t be much of a payment on a 5k vehicle 🙂

If your looking to buy from a dealer most manufacturers have extended warranty plans. They all have different levels of what they cover, but that way if a drivetrain component does fail you get to bring it to the dealer and not worry about the cost of repairs.
