What should I consider when buying a used Volkswagen Touareg?

I am considering purchasing a used Volkswagen Touareg and I want to make sure I am making a smart decision. What should I look out for and consider when making my purchase?

It's important to do your research on the specific model year of the Touareg you are considering. Some years may have more common issues than others.

Make sure to thoroughly test drive the vehicle and listen for any strange noises or vibrations. These could be signs of potential problems.

Consider getting a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic to ensure the vehicle is in good condition and doesn't have any major red flags.

Check the vehicle's maintenance history to see if it has been properly maintained and if any major repairs have been done.

Be wary of extremely low prices, as this could be a sign of a vehicle with hidden issues. As the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
