2010 Trade-in opinion

What is the reigning opinion on maximum mileage for the 2010's? I'm approaching 80k miles and I was offered a pretty decent trade in for about 15-17k at the local dealership for a newer TDI.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge if I should consider this because I'm getting near some serious concerns for the DSG or anything else?

If so, whats the opinion on the newest TDIs?

Cheers.

Generally, every new generation of a model is an improvement. Your current car should reach 150K miles without major failures.

With proper care done by a trusted TDI mechanic, 80K miles is nothing. IMHO the 2009-2010 has been the pinnacle of Jetta TDIs to date. The later MKVI chassis design reverted to a previous gen rear suspension and "cheapened" materials and finishes throughout the car. If I had a clean 2010 with that few miles I'd wouldn't trade it in on a new one for any "deal".

Sure you will likely have to deal with certain issues eventually such as the DSG dual mass flywheel, but that is why I say have a trusted TDI mechanic care for it. They will be able to tell you when it is time well before bigger damage may result. The newer ones likely still have that issue anyway.

Agreed. The only TDI I'd move to from a 09-10 is a 4-Door Golf. A newer Jetta would be a downgrade IMO.

Thanks for the input, I was thinking the same, but wanted to make sure I wasn't misguided considering the DSG. Mine has definitely been babied aside from the highway miles.

I have tried out the newer Jettas and Golfs, and to be honest, both feel a lot lighter in build quality than the 2010 I have.

Thanks again

Keep it . The other post are spot on. My 2010 has 68k with no problems so far just oil and tires.

I have 50K on mine
After reading about the newer models and what was lost or changed...I'm keeping mine.
There needs to be some significant benefit before trading for a newer Jetta/Passat.

I'd be losing the independent suspension, fit/finish I'd rather loose the DPF.
I have had no major problems accept when a wiring harness went out.....the
original diagnosis was VERY wrong..told me my HPFP was failing..gave me a rebuild.
all this covered under the extended warranty...I believe I got my monies worth with that.

Maybe this was good? newer version pump = better?
