Since you say you're not mechanically inclined, my main concern is repairs. The TiiCo is a hybrid, unlike any vehicle VW sold from the factory, and some mechanics are going to be reluctant to touch it. Make sure you have a mechanic who is willing to work on it for you if you're not going to be doing your own wrenching.
