 Don't get involved with a 2009 Tiguan. My wife and I bought one used from a dealer as a lease return with low mileage in 2012. We loved the styling, sportiness, and gas mileage. But it was very unreliable due to different things. The electric parking brake stuck while engaged and would not release. Weeks in the shop while a technician from Germany came here to replace the wiring harness. "We've never seen that before." was the common response. A broken fuel was spraying gasoline over the engine at one point not long after it had been in for repair. In the last 6 months, we replaced the struts in the front, replaced the blower motor (2nd time) and the entire heater box assembly, and had the exhaust valve manifold cleaned due to carbon buildup. Then, the timing chain skips and it's 7K to replace the engine using a used one that has almost the 146,000 miles on it that ours had. Very hard to walk away from this car, but sold it to a junk yard. Couldn't see spending more money on a car that wasn't paid for because of all the repair bills because something else WILL go bad on it. We were hoping to put another 100K miles on it but that just  won't happen. Will NEVER buy another Volkswagen.
