Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy a used car and I have come across a Volkswagen Taos 2022 with a 1.5L L4 SFI DOHC 16V engine and it has a salvage title. The price for the car is 21,950$. I am looking for some advice from fellow members about the car before I make a decision.

I understand that getting a car with a salvage title can often be a risky proposition, but I want to know if I should go ahead with it or not. Also, I want to make sure that the engine and other parts are in good condition.

I would really appreciate any advice you can give me. I want to make sure I'm making the right decision with this purchase. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

If it really was a lemon law car where the same issue happened 3 times and they couldn't fix it, then you'd have to be leery. They have had numerous issues with check engine lights coming on, even if something isn't wrong. VW now has
a software update to correct numerous issues, called 24IR, I would make sure it had been done. Also to consider
is that the car has already used up almost half of it's mileage warranty, and as someone else pointed out, the salvage
title will follow it forever, and lower resale value when you get rid of it. We have a late 22 FWD SE which we like, no
problems so far.
