Replying to: sohna99 (Jul 26, 2009 9:02 am) You might want to do a google for some of the differences and similarities. I personally have avoided using bio diesel for 128,000 miles sans one tank of B5 that I took from Chevron on the road. While VW engines have been shown to run on WVO to B100 (modifications of course). The fact of the matter is they are designed and specified to run on D2 and with 51 cetane ratings. I personally think diesel engines should be designed to specifically run on BIODIESEL, B5 to B100 and from first generation to latest generation. I am however aware that I might hold a VERY minority opinion.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 26, 2009 9:13 am) A guy named Jason Burroughs bought a 2009 Jetta TDI with the express purpose of using only b100 from the beginning and showing viability for B100 on the 09 Jetta TDI. Sadly, the CEL(check engine light) came on and other issues came up, mainly showing the issue related to the emissions/DPF. Jason detailed out his experiences on a forum; just google his name and Jetta TDI 2009 biodiesel and you're sure to hit it.. The Jetta does run on b100, and that's not the real issue; the extra dilution of engine oil by the extra biodiesel seeping into the crankcase and the extra damage that may happen to the engine, a topic highly techinical and debatable/still being debated, is another issue. Some have suggested just changing oil more often than the mfg recommeneded 10k miles, but the CEL light coming on and having the dealer reset it, is the problem issue, again, set off by the DPF. And, anything beyond B5 then VW seeks to deny responsibility and rescind warranty, which is another highly debated issue.... That's all I'll say so as not to hijack this thread...only to give a brief synopsis and asnwer to sohna99 and ruking..

Hello All, I'm preparing to return my leased 2006 VW Passat in the coming weeks and would like to negotiate on a VW Jetta TDI. I've priced one out on the site for $27,339 including the following options: Chrome Mirror Caps and Rear Accent Strip Power Sunroof and Air Deflector DVD Navigation Rear Side Airbags Mat Kit Trunk Liner I am planning to start negotiations  24,605 (90% of list). Thoughts and experiences? What should I expect to pay? Thanks for any feedback.

Replying to: jdeluca81 (Jul 27, 2009 9:57 am) perhaps ask yourself why a dealership would want that deal.

Replying to: vwgreg (Jul 27, 2009 10:27 am) If I can score half of that, I'd be satisfied. I would say that its realistic given the current economic climate to expect a below invoice purchase. Wouldn't you?

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 27, 2009 11:55 am) Was hoping to learn of additional dealer holdbacks that could get me to the negotiating table around or even below invoice. Here in Atlanta there's over 150 Jettas in stock at the Top 3 VW Dealers and I'd be willing to hike out to an additional 2 if they were pricing competitively. |

Replying to: jdeluca81 (Jul 27, 2009 11:18 am) there is no earthly reason why a dealer would take below invoice on a tdi. |
