I'm thinking about buying a used VW Touareg / Touareg 2. What do you guys think about VW Touaregs?

(Also, if you have the same question for another car and wonder what others think about it, that is what this post is for)

I think they are decent models, however a new one would be better, depending on your budget. Check the Consumer Reports Used Car Guide, as well as CarFax.

Im sorry but carfax is full of sh*t. Every person I know who has used it said it was made up. Consumer reports though speaks good about it however as I predicted, maintence is the worst factor. My budget is only 15k too, so I don't think ill be getting a new one haha

Carfax may not always be 100% truthful (although usually it is pretty correct), but it's at least giving you /some/ info on the history of the car. Some information is better than no information, especially when buying a car that could end up being a lemon.

I was watching a special on TV about how carfax for some used car dealerships like Carmax is usually wrong.

Carfax has everything that is reported on their site. If someone is involved in a wreck and does not call the police then they have no way of knowing about it. They also have a Carfax guarantee meaning if their was a reported wreck or major issue and they don't have it then they'll pay for your car. It might not have everything but if their is a reported crash then its a good place to find out about it and what happened.
