I can't decide whether to keep or return my 2010 Jetta tdi, and open to suggestion of the forum members..
It has 204K on it and has been fine other than a turbo change which was caused by shifting error.[sudden over rev of the engine]
I have a son who will turn 15 year old in Jan 2019. I can't decide whether to return the car to VW or keep it for another 1.5 year, so I can give it to him. VW buyback value is $5850.
The first scenario is the store the car for a 1.5 year and give it to him when he gets the license.
The second scenario is return the car and wait 1.5-2 years and try to buy 2015 Jetta or may be Golf TDI for him.
The issue with the second scenario is what would be the market value of 2015's 2 years from now?
For instance, would it be even possible to find a decent 2015 Jetta for 7000-8000 Dollars as I don't want to pay too much for his first car? He likes the manual transmission and this is also adding more ambiguity whether I can find a 2015 MT for this price range in 2 years or so?
Thank you for the suggestions/opinions.
