Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify fuel-tank seal recall completion and inspect for leakage.
3. Confirm rear coil spring repairs and ask about suspension noises.
4. Verify key-removal, ignition-switch and tire-pressure software campaign completion.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
