Ok, I have a 2001 TDI Bug which has been a good car in that it has 124,000 miles and the only really big unexpected expence has been a turbo replacement that is happening this week.
Since that car has been passed on to my son I'm in the market for another but after 2 months of searching I have realized that the only TDI's I can afford are high millage 130,000 to 140,000. The models are usually 2004-05's my budget is $10,000 to $11,500
I feel that the 2001-03 will allow me to get a lower miles one but still they have close to or not over 100,000 them selves.
That leads me back to my orignal question......How much dependable life is left after 150,000 miles......and with this budget what would you long time TDI owner's be looking for?
