#118 of 155 Re: VW not building "Ordered Golfs" yet according to my dealer [anowlan] by bravo1979 Nov 28, 2009 (7:51 am)
Replying to: anowlan (Nov 18, 2009 11:16 am) I placed a deposit on a Golf TDI last week. The dealer doesn't expect to get more than 1 every 3 months. According to the dealer I probably won't see mine until May/June.
#119 of 155 Golf TDI, hard to find but worth it by jbaustian Nov 28, 2009 (6:17 pm)
I do not have any inside information on the 2010 Golf TDIs. I strongly suspect that VWoA has loaded up the TDIs with the nav system and lots of other goodies because they cannot make a profit selling a base model. I am not sure if they profit from the 2.5-liter Golfs, no one else gets that engine so maybe it's produced in Mexico and shipped to Europe for assembly, and that enables them to sell those Golfs for a slight profit. At any rate, if there was a lot of profit to be made, VW would be building more and shipping more to North America.   The cost of ownership does not include what the car costs when new but it does include how much value it loses in the first three or five years. If you think the demand for 2010 Golf TDIs is much greater than the supply right now, then it should continue in future years -- if you can find one for around MSRP now, then you should lose very little value and your cost of ownership could be extremely low. If the dollar keeps losing value, you might even be able to sell your 2010 Golf TDI for more than it cost when new, if the only alternative is to pay $30k or more for a 2014 model.

Replying to: jbaustian (Nov 28, 2009 6:17 pm) TDIs (and competing hybrids) already require a large premium that few buyers will ever recoup in fuel savings. Gas would have to go far higher than last year's gouge to allow the TDI to even break even vs a gas engine after several years. If the euro rise drives the US price of a TDI much higher, I think its more likely that the TDI will again disappear from this market.

Replying to: dwpc (Dec 13, 2009 8:52 pm) I think we will get more VW TDIs built in the US or Mexico. But that should have no effect on the resale value of 2010 Golf TDIs. If they are hard to find now, then they will be rare and highly sought after in future years, so the resale value should be super-high.

Replying to: dwpc (Dec 13, 2009 8:52 pm) I think you are missing the main reason many would buy the Golf TDI over the gas version. Mileage is a big factor. To me it is in the driving of the diesel vs a small gas engine. Unless you get the GTI which is more expensive than the diesel, the standard gas engine just does not have what it takes. What ever you put in at the start you will get back when you sell. Probably even a bigger spread than the gas version. I see no reason to own a gas VW. And a hybrid like the Prius is strictly for those with no desire to enjoy the driving.
#123 of 155 VW Base(no sunroof) by puffin1 Dec 24, 2009 (10:38 am)
Why do some reviewers say ,that you can't get a sunroof with the base version golf it'a listed under options, along with heated seats and chome exhaust. I don't want 17" wheels i'll buy some alloys from Tirerack.com

Replying to: lily986526 (Dec 30, 2009 1:50 am) Hello Lily. Reviewers may say that because it may be essentially correct! VW can make the cars in any configuration they want, regardless of what options are orderable/ordered/not-ordered. On my VW cars I generally concur with your preference for 16 inch wheels but would be willing to give the 17s a try on my next VW - maybe using 16inch/steelwheels for blizzaks or other snow+ice tires in winter. cheers...
