Curt,
What do you need all those troubles for? It may look like you'll save some $$ now, but have a really good chance to get in a lot more expensive troubles later (they will tell you whatever you want, they will not loose any $$). On top of that not many people have enough experience with EV, so even minor problem sometimes turns into a real pain. Just forget about it and go after brand new one.

After months of looking for a EVC, I've finally found one, but there's a
catch, and
it's a pretty big catch. The vehicle is a 99 with only 1000 miles on it.
It is
essentially new.
There is a service in the Internet where, for $15 or so you can get the
vehicle's history, provided you can give them the VIN.
Ask the dealer for the VIN. If he hesitates, don't buy the car! EVs have enough
problems as it is, you don't want any more!
I think that your Department of Motor Vehicles can give you the same info for
less money. I would try to find out the name of the previous owner and contact
him. Remember, you are dealing with a car salesman. One commanding officer in
the AF once said, if he had a brother who is a used car salesman, and he was up
for his polygraph and renewal of his security clearance, he would tell them that
his brother is in jail, for fear of loosing his security clearance.
You could try contacting VW, but they have never been helpful. 1-800-Drive-VW.
