Hey all,
So my '91 Buick Century finally bit the dust last night (head gasket, overheating, etc on the COLDEST night of the year)... and I've been interested in finding a TDI of some flavor.
I tracked down a couple of different ones, and was wondering if they sound like a good buy. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find one in my area, but I found a couple about 200 miles away (different directions) and both at dealerships
The first is a 1999.5 (from what I can tell, and according to a VIN decoder online) Jetta GLS with 101,000 miles. Selling for about $7,000. Built in Mexico.
The second is a 1999 Golf GL, 2 doors, with just over 75,000 miles. Also selling for about $7,000. Built in Germany.
At the moment, the price is towards my upper limit, so I'm not looking to spend a lot repair-wise (at least in the near future). And I figure I'll save a pretty penny on fuel (which is my main reason behind the TDI purchase).
Any recommendations?
