Buying used car from dealer. Vehicle just aged out of official certification year. Should I wait for the price to come down before buying?
I was looking at a certified pre-owned 2008 Volkswagen Passat at the end of 2014. Now in 2015 it is too old for Volkswagen to consider it "certified."

Certification does not go away. If it's Certified Pre-owned, it stays Certified Pre-owned. They cannot Certify a 2008 they get NOW, but if it was Certified, it still will be. You will not get a discount just because it's a month older.

If it makes you feel good, go for it!

REALIZE that a VW must use ONLY special EUROPEAN GRADE FULL SYNTHETIC OILS that last for ONE to TWO full years between changes! yOu will have NO trouble with this car anyways but TIRES and BRAKE PADS! NO VALVOLINE may EVER be used in a VW or AUDI without RUINING IT QUICKLY! The FACTORY oils are RAVENOL< and PENTOSYNTH, a company that furnishes ALL SYNTHETIC FLUIDS for ALL european cars, like STEERING, COOLANT and TRANS fluids and even BRAKE FLUIDS! YOUR FINE VW needs ALL FLUIDS CHANGED NOW< at the five year point or 100k mile intervals ONLY TRUST A GENUINE EUROPEAN CAR DEALERSHIP WITH THIS TASK and NOT the local OIL CHANGE CENTERS! ALL FLUIDS must be RAVENOL or PENTOSIN fluids! Expect 400k miles form ANY VW EASILY< they are THAT GOOD and REFINED! It is NOT a GM JUNKER! BYE NOW!

certified vehicles are not worth the price - if you have an accident, that extra you paid won;t be considered in the appraisal estimate - you'll lose $1-2000
