Thread: Thinking about a new to me 4x4. Ute VW. Anything to watch out for

My hard-won experience with Euro cars is Don't own them out of warranty as has been suggested above. It's always a lottery when you buy high mileage stuff- dealerships make more money on servicing and repairs.

I've had various ute brands and have driven Amoroks various times while the Audis were being serviced. They sure have nice road manners with a car-like feel but the long term costs shouldn't be ignored. One thing to definitely avoid is manual Rangers- my son had no end of issues with his, was off the road multiple times. The autos are fine.
