Hey y'all,
I am in the process of selling my full size SUV and after the sale I am going to be in the market for a new (to me) car. I have narrowed it down to a VW TDI and am currently focused on the JSW and MKVI Jetta. The JSW would be my first choice as it allows me to keep most of the cargo room that my SUV has but nearly triple the mpg.
There are several for sale locally and the two that are closest to my budget and withing a few hundred of each other. They are a 2010 Silver with 60,000 miles loaded with tan leather, NAV, and Sunroof and a red 2011 with 110,000 with tan leather, NAV, and sunroof. The 2011 says in its description that it has a 10 year/160,000 extended warranty from VW (assuming this is part of the Dieselgate fix).
There is also a 2013 Jetta that is a black on black leather with nav and sunroof that has 127,000 miles on it that I am considering because of its listed price is nearly two thousand less than the JSWs.
Is there anything special I should watch for on higher mileage JSW and MKVI TDIs mechanically or body wise (sunroof leaks)? I am only considering the DSG as I spend a good bit of time in slow moving stop-and-go traffic.
Thank you!
Michael
