That's a lot of KM's.
How much maintenance has it taken to keep that VW alive that long?
An engineer who works for me bought his wife a new mercedes a few years back.
When it was less than 2 years old it died and had to be towed.
The dealer said the problem was caused by coffee spilling out of her coffee cup into the center cup holder.
Evidently the cup holder is NOT water-tight and has sensitive delicate wiring or circuit boards underneath it.
Not covered under warranty, $1100.
He traded it in for a soo-ba-rooo.

That happened to my friend's wife's MB but it shorted out a bunch of electronics under the console because the stupid cup holder wasn't even water tight.
Over a grand in repairs, not covered under warranty because the damage was due to neglect (using the cup holder for coffee).
