According to Edmunds.com the MSRP difference is 6,570.
 
I would advocate 4 fold actions:
 
1. shop the US inventory for invoice + or even better invoice -
 
2. get the best prices on a TDI and a basic model (if the basic model is what you really want)
 
3. look at several MY's used car prices (or in arrears of when you plan to sell either car you decide to get) of both TDI and gasser
 
3 b. get the real world used car prices TDI/gasser and then decide if the difference (per mile driven) is worth it.
 
4. Add to that the per mile driven savings or extra
 
example 40.3 mpg TDI, 29.1 mpg gasser, ULSD (corner store 4.25) RUG 4.13.
 
per mile driven ULSD .105 cents, RUG .14.2 cents or
 
35% more per mile driven RUG So over 100,000 miles RUG will cost 3,700 more.
