Trying to find my Cali

tvagon · Feb 12, 2020

Hello and greetings from the North,

I have read your forum only few times. While now digging deeper it indeed feels like a care-taking community. Nice to be here!
Reason I joined is that I encountered a slightly surprising possibilty to purchase 2007 T5 2.5 TDI 174 California. And currently trying to gather all the information about old Cali's and the particular model. It may not be T7 and it may seen some miles, but it is a beauty standing straight. More on 'Buying a VW California' under 'T5 2.5 TDI 174 - My first California?'.
Hope to get some thoughts and comments. Keep up the good spirit!

Welcome - you don't need a new one to experience the lifestyle change!

Thanks Mum! That is exactly what I'm thinking. At the same time trying to avoid the most obvious second-hand-car-buying-mistakes.

Well good luck - there are so many knowledgable people on here that will be happy to help you.

Ask whatever you want. I had the same model for 8 years (2006), sold last July to buy a second hand T6
