Dealer listing photo, captured October 10, 2026. (No usable listing photo available for this vehicle.)
Moose’s Verdict
No price. No mileage. No deal.
We can’t give a BUY without a price and miles — and this listing publishes neither. What we do know about the 2023 Tiguan isn’t encouraging: the EA888 2.0T is under an oil-consumption class action, there are recalls for the rearview camera and steering-rack bolts, and RepairPal ranks the Tiguan 26th of 26 compact SUVs for reliability. Too many unknowns, too many knowns.
Price vs Market
No price published — impossible to judge the deal.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
No history pulled. Two recalls cover the 2023 Tiguan (rearview camera, steering-rack bolts); the EA888 2.0T faces an oil-consumption lawsuit.
★★★★★
Maintenance & Reliability
RepairPal: 3.0/5, last of 26 compact SUVs. Infotainment glitches and oil consumption are the pattern.
★★★★★
Fuel Economy
23/30 MPG (FWD) — one of the few bright spots in this class.
★★★★★
Dealership
4.8 stars on 34 Google reviews (Larwill 4.7/26, Goshen 5.0/8), but a public Jan 2025 complaint alleges a kept deposit at the Goshen store.

About the Dealer
24/7 Cars
One public red flag on record: a January 2025 complaint alleges the Goshen location kept a buyer’s deposit after financing fell through. Worth asking about their deposit policy in writing before you put money down.
The Original Listing
Snapshot of the dealer’s listing page, captured at verdict time — so the price and details can’t quietly change afterward.
The fine print: this verdict is our opinion based on publicly available information at the time of analysis — price data, history sources, and dealer reviews. It is not financial advice. Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection and verify the history yourself before you buy.
