It's a crapshoot with Euro cars. My daughter bought a used 2013 Audi Q5 with low miles and three years later no issues. If it needs repairs I have recommended to her to go to a local indy shop.

Compare that to my wife's 2002 Toyota Camry which we bought new. We also test drove the VW Jetta and Honda Accord. Although only 40k miles on it it looks like new. No rust and very reliable. I just don't see many VW Jetta around of that age anymore

Having said that the Camry kills me with boredom driving it. If I had to do it over again I would have encouraged her to get the Jetta because it was more fun.

I have had a ppi done on my used cars the last ten years to check for issues including flood damage, accident damage etc. Good luck with your search.

Cheers, Guy
