Or a Toyota.

A high mileage German car is not a good idea for anyone.

Japanese-built with the exception of Mazda or Nissan.

Find something relatively low mileage (average 10-15k/year) but however old enough to fit your budget.

Bought mine a certified 2013 Tiguan with 65k miles on it. We haven’t any issues at all.

You can roll one down the Autobahn and walk away, too.

Walk that off, baw

Sister currently drives one. Leaks like a Tennessee insider and the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. Stay away.

No Volkswagen is reliable, just get a Toyota or a Honda
