| I purchased this car 3 years ago at a mileage of 109,000. all in all i have not driven the car for more than 2 and a half weeks since i've had it and i have already spent over $4000 dollars on it. is that fair for a car with a price tag of 6,000 dollars used. i've spent the rest of the 3 years raising money trying to fix one problem after another. i am a student with a lemon and 2 part-time jobs trying to fix it. these 2 recalls were done on corrados with vin numbers within the following ranges: wvw_ _ _50_kk000001 - wvw_ _ _50_lk012692 . my corrado has the same problems and need the same parts replaces and despite this vw does not want to investigate this matter further. please help me, cause i dont know what to do. *ak | |||
