The ironic thing in all of this, my VW was bought CPO, it supposed to be an unreliable "never buy a German car out of warranty" car, it's been more realiable, cheaper to drive and I could probably make 3-4k out of it private party if I sold it right now. It's been in the shop once for a recall, a small warranty (broke a clip in the glovebox) and once because the o-ring on the oil filter broke about 1k after I did an oil change with a non-OEM filter.
