Hi all,
Coming over from the more regular Passat hang-out to pick the brains of Touareg owners:
Wife and I are thinking of adding a used SUV to the fleet specifically for horse-float towing. The Alltrack is fine for single horse towing (competitions and such), but sometimes we may want to or need to put two decent size horses in the back and that's beyond the Passat's capability.
Ideally, we'd stick with a VW (hence Touareg), instead of looking at the plethora of available SUVs from various Australian and Japanese makers.
The Sticky thread sadly doesn't have much, but I found this post (apparently from the UK):
Buying a used Touareg. What to look for. - myTreg forums (http://www.mytreg.com/index.php?/topic/10163-buying-a-used-touareg-what-to-look-for/)
Is most of what's in there also something you'd want to look out for down here?
Any other pointers, caveats, gotchas VWWCers would add beyond these? Things that folks have experienced that hasn't been captured in the above posts/articles?
Thanks in advance!
