#199 of 280 Re: Volkswagen TDI Models: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [kirstie_h] by pstakem Aug 24, 2006 (6:30 am)
Replying to: kirstie_h (Oct 12, 2004 7:17 am) Have a new 2006 Jetta TDI about 2 weeks now. Paid $22,400. at Alexandria (Va) VW - they had 5 in stock, essentially identical, and priced the same. 1 auto, 4 stick. They were not dealing at all on the price - take it or leave it, due to lack of '07 diesel models. They seemed particularily well stocked, with R32 and Phaeton models as well, and the EOS (?) hardtop convertible. 35 mpg on my first tank. I got the VAG-COM software, and it seems quite useful. We also have a 2000 New Beetle TDI with 120,000 miles.
#200 of 280 Canadian car?? by ukjim Aug 24, 2006 (3:51 pm)
I am new to this forum, although I have posted on the Mazda RX8 and Saab sites (previous and existing ownerships). A close friend of mine is determined to purchase a diesel car, ideally a wagon, she lives in Berkeley naturally . Anyway, after some research, and reading the past postings, it appears that the best place to find a decent selection of Jetta TDI's is in Canada. Can anyone tell me if there are major hurdles to overcome in registering a Canadian car: a) in the U.S. and b) in California? And if so what they are. I support her effort in this quest and so would appreciate any advice you can offer. Also, if a trek to our northern brothers isn't required I would like to know where we might find a selection of low milage cars in the U.S. Thanks Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 25, 2006 6:39 am) ukjim (Aug 26, 2006 10:23 pm) gagrice (Aug 27, 2006 8:04 am)

Replying to: ukjim (Aug 24, 2006 3:51 pm) I would like to know where we might find a selection of low milage cars in the U.S.   Two things. They are not cheap and I think you are in for a long battle trying to register a Canadian car in CA.   From experience: I bought a new 2005 Passat wagon TDI in Oregon. Kept it 13 months and sold it in CA for $3000 more than I paid new. The only CA requirement is that it has 7500 miles on it to be registered. My advice would be to email all the VW dealers in and around Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Tell them you want a late model Jetta or Passat TDI wagon. That info is available on the VW or Edmund's website. Good luck. I miss my Passat Wagon. The VW diesels are great to drive.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 25, 2006 6:39 am) Thanks for the tips. I think this may get put on hold for a while, she didn't realise how much the diesels were going to be and she doesn't want to spend more than $20K. Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 27, 2006 8:04 am)

Replying to: ukjim (Aug 26, 2006 10:23 pm) TDI wagons are rare to start with. There are 5 on eBay currently. For the exact same car I sold for $29k, someone is asking $31,750. It has 20k miles while mine had only 8k miles. I would not get one that does not have some of the 4 year 50k mile warranty left. You do not know how the person drove the car and what kind of diesel they used. CA has had good diesel for a couple years. There is still some bad diesel in parts of the USA. It is a dilemma for sure. Wanting to buy a car and none that you like available.
#204 of 280 TDI Jetta ... Any suggestions on the 2.5 lit jetta 2007? by jettabuyer Oct 03, 2006 (12:45 pm)
We are in the market for a car and might consider the Jetta. Could someone tell me if JETTA TDI is the only way to go or is 2.5 lt 2007 worth looking into?

Replying to: jettabuyer (Oct 03, 2006 12:45 pm) I think if you do the math, you'll find the payback on the TDI to be quite lengthy. I just bought a 2007 2.5 auto, package 2 for $22,300. It was not readily accessible and had to be ordered from the factory. I have a friend who is quite happy with his TDI--44K miles in one year!

Replying to: mnr49 (Oct 05, 2006 7:22 pm) Thanks mnr49. Currently looking at 2007 2.5 jetta with package 1 and with cold-package and sun/moon roof.
#207 of 280 used Jetta TDI prices by highender Oct 10, 2006 (10:30 pm)
Are holding up nicely. I had been searching for a used jetta tdi for over a month.. in California. Lots of salvage vehicles....or ones with high mileage. But all with a relatively high price. I guess these cars maintain their value.

Replying to: jettabuyer (Oct 03, 2006 12:45 pm) If I was NOT getting a TDI, I would condsider another vehicle . It is however a safe vehicle in either guise. Keep in mind the resale of the TDI will be many times over the initial cost. My dealer has TONS of trade in 2.5 models allready on the lot,if that tells you any thing.   Good luck on your decision.   DL Replies to this message: esteeze (Apr 26, 2007 11:29 am)
