More details to this question:
...it no longer ran as of 12/23/13. The problem is well known, per VW forums online. What rights, if any do I have regarding repair? Car was purchased from a large, presumably reputable, well known dealership group in the Milwaukee area. To my knowledge, there is no existing warranty, which I understand the implications of, however my concern is whether or not it is unreasonable to sell a car that is operable for less than 48 hours. Initially, salesperson offered non-helpful suggestions which I did try. They've agreed to have the vehicle towed to a local dealer for assessment, but am curious about how much I can push for repairs (at dealer's expense), as this is such a recent purchase with no warranty.

I recommend getting an independent mechanic to look at the car too. Was the problem one that the dealer knew about before selling you the car. If so, then the dealer should have disclosed the problem to you, and its failure to do so could be fraud. Fraud in the sale of the car gives rise to certain claim and rights that you have. If it appears that the dealer committed fraud, then you may want to talk to an attorney in your area that handles auto fraud type matters. I have more information about auto fraud matters on our website at www.celcwi.com that you may find helpful.
