Is a Volkswagen good investment for at least 10 years?

Question 1
Is a Volkswagen good investment for at least 10 years?...  
Looking to buy the 2010 TIguan

Answers
1)   yes - ♥♦♣♠

2)   it is better u die - Godwin K

3)   no(ex vw vag technician) - green village idiot

4)   Yes, but they are very expensive to fix once they go out of warranty. - nick93mac

5)   Best auto investment possible.
They don't go through as many variations as the Japanese cars, so the parts are more consistent and available through 3rd party suppliers.
There are far more mechanics who know about them and specialize on them.
So they can be kept up and running for far longer and at far less cost than any other car in the world.

The Japanese intentionally plan for obsolescence. Their car laws practically prohibit keeping cars for a long time, so they don't built in endurance. They use a philosophy of instant inventory, so they constantly change sources, parts, design, etc, in order to save money. But that destroys long term maintenance and supply.

More expensive cars like BMW and Mercedes are either needlessly complex or expensive because they don't want to make that many of them. They cater to snob appeal.

There is no other car that holds its resale value as well as VW.
No car is a good investment, but VW is the best.
I have an 88 Golf GTI with over 300k miles, and it does not use a drop of oil between changes.

Side advice is to never buy a new vehicle, you pay through the nose for warranty. And don't take a car to the dealer. Dealers only want to sell new cars, and they are not the best for repairs or maintenance. - Motorhead

6)   Loaded question with no additional info. What year are you considering and which model? Cars in general are not a good investment.
Better off to buy something like an original Dodge Hemi Cuda with all the "stock stuff " in it and hang onto that. Less numbers were produced so more rare. Now to find one that only cost a couple hundred. - I taut I saw a puddy kat

Question 2
How cool would it be if we could all hitch a ride from a passing lady bug!?...  

Answers
1)   Well... err. that would be pretty bizarre indeed!
As I'm a bug-a-phobic. I'd probably set the wings on fire! :p - Questioneer

2)   Ok, so like, I'm totally high right now. I just smoked like a whole crap load of Cali's finest. Not some weak Florida crap, but some real potent stuff! The kind of stuff that has beginners and teens coming on here everyday and asking questions like "I smoked weed and I hallucinated and almost passed out, I think it was laced?". Yeah that kind. Yeah that's what I got. Anyways, the first thing I saw after leaving the bong and coming on the internet was this question. It was amazing, to just imagine that. Like actually riding a ladybugs back would be so cool.

But then I thought about it, and you know what? If I wasn't so high, this question about riding on ladybugs would be STUPID! - Todd Trollsworth

3)   That's a fantastic idea! *shuffles off to ancient laboratory to create a ladybug the size of a dump truck* - gravitybong

4)   and fly off to mushroom land to eat the sun.
i bet the sun tastes good :D - Jesus

Question 3
would it cost more to insure the 2 door VW Rabbit than the 4 door?...  

Answers
1)   Ask your insurance agent for a quote. I highly doubt that there will be much of a difference, if any. - djaca70

2)   yes - ♥♦♣♠

3)   Two door cars are considered to be slightly sportier and less family oriented, but the difference should be quite small compared to things like age, occupation, and even area code. - Motorhead

4)   Help yourself - you can check your quotes in internet, for example here - autoinsurance.bebto.com - Clay

Question 4
My Volkswagen New Beetle's A/C makes this growling/whurring sound, how can I make it stop?...  

Answers
1)   bring it to a dealer - Nismo

2)   IGNORE NISMO, don't take it to a dealer unless you want to pay A LOT. there's a vent/fan motor that sends the air into the cabin. it's either broken or damaged somehow, find a good vw mechanic and have him sort it out, NOT THE DEALER. - Gob

3)   Could have leaves or something that came though the vent into the fan. But the fan could be hitting something or the bearing could need lube. Can't tell you how to get at the fan on a newer Beetle though. In the older models it was accessed though the engine compartment, by unscrewing the cover over the air vent. - Motorhead

Question 5
high pitched wine from engine when accelerating could it be the turbo golf gt tdi?...  

Answers
1)   It should be. - bikerwoody

2)   Buy a Hyundai, Kia or DaeWoo!


Is it red or white wine?! - ♥♦♣♠

3)   I would be checking the V belts first to be sure they are not glazed. A turbo generally does not make any noise(well it does) but it is a distinct wine sound. (a wine that is especially good with cheese and crackers ). Best you let a VW mechanic take a listen to identify the noise for you.(and you ride with him to point out the sound). So they know what concerns your "wittle mind". - I taut I saw a puddy kat
