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. Confirm wheel bearing recall completion and stop-driving status by VIN.
3. Request fuel tank seal, rear spring, and ignition recall repair records.
4. Ask about engine and transmission symptoms and repair history.
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.
