2001 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl 60000 miles
I am planning to buy a 2001 VW Bug. I had the car inspected at a local shop. When you first turn the key, all dash lights come on except for "check engine light". According to the owner, when he was buying the car used like 4 years ago, the used car dealer tampered with the system, where the light does not come on, that is all the owner knows. The car passed emmissions twice in the last 4 years without any failures. The local shop took the reading of the on board system, and indicated only 1 trouble code related to evaporation canister, or something of that nature.
What is my biggest $ exposure if I buy the car as is.
Much Thanks, Vlad.
