Replying to: m6user (May 28, 2009 12:13 pm) Indeed I agree and I didn't nor did I police the thread. ..."Sometimes it can be depending on how you say it. "... Well that might be an explanation why the public is so fond of well told.... lies.  see msg #7673 in "Diesel In The News " for the well debated "but RUG per gal is almost always cheape than D2" one. |

Replying to: bvdj84 (May 29, 2009 4:54 am) It was not too long ago (118,000 miles) I was debating the pluses and minuses about paying a 246. premium (over a 1.8 T gasser). Of course the 2009 app 1,000 premium was not a welcomed addition. However the IRS (/VW) has sweetened the deal with the $1,300 clean diesel tax CREDIT. So really it is app minus - 200 cheaper . Also the mpg is  25 combined vs 33 combined. In a highway commute mode, three drivers get a range of 39-45. Since it is in an "initial" break in stage till at least 10,000 miles (first oil change) I am more concerned with good/correct break in than good mpg. So a recent 2300 mile R/T with 3 people and trunk packed to the gills, in the herky jerky break in style yielded an over all 43.5 mpg. While it is a DSG, I would have been just as happy with a 6 speed manual. Well, might have been happier with a manual ,as it will probably be cheaper to fix and last longer (old 2003 clutch life expectancy of 400,000 miles)

Replying to: ruking1 (May 29, 2009 6:22 am) I recently purchased an 09 TDI... not my first VW. I paid 21,500 + TTL for it - manual, rear airbags, spoiler, sunroof, mats. I think this was a fairly decent price. I got a range of prices from different dealers (most starting at 1.5K below MSRP). I agonized over the whole car purchase ordeal for a while, and like many others, researched heavily. I debated between a TDI and a 2.5 VW. Even though everyone's numbers might be different, I still wound up with a 5 year ownership cost for the diesel being higher than a SE which I was considering (no options, manual for 17995). I decided to go for the diesel because it is "the right thing to do". I think over time too that the resale will be higher on the TDI. By the way, my first road trip (several hundred miles) yielded 44 mpg!

| Have any of you use Costco's Auto Buying Program to purchase you 2009 Jetta TDI? If so, how was the price and how much was it above or below invoice. I see that there is currently a $500 cash to dealer program from VW. | |
