 My father passed in 2009 and the car was given to me with 17,000 miles on it.  The car has always been garaged.I cannot drive the car now and it only has 53000  miles on it (12/2015)  When I got the car I took it to Volkswagen and had a costly 3000 bill.   Now the boots are goneAir conditioning is shotCatalytic converter went outpower steering went outCan only use cruise control if head lights are in the bright position   The cruise goes out if I make a right turn.Get oil change every twice a year, had power steering fluid changed 2 years agoHad to get new radiatoroil leaksall new hoses, there was a lot more but I don't have my records available at the momentI cant even remember all of itThe mileage is terrible.   Between 14 and 16 miles per gallon   Had all tune upsI WOULD NEVER BUY A VOLKSWAGEN AGAINWould love to sell the good parts
