My TDI is going back on Thursday. Paid $27K for it 4 1/2 years ago....getting $30K for it. I'll miss the diesel MPG, but it's hard to turn down $30K for a car with 67K on the clock.
Also, diesel is back up to a 30% cost difference over gas....so that pretty much washes out the MPG difference.
I'm likely to replace it with....
a 2018 Golf Alltrack - a little bit more HP (170), a little less torque (200), but AWD, blind spot monitoring, front/rear sensors, front and rear collision avoidance, lane keeping and Park Assist - and with the end of model year promotions...it's going to be a wash cost-wise, with only tax, tags and license fees added.
I looked at a number of other cars, and realized - I LIKE how this one drives.
