I have a job where I drive to a lot of locations around the state and need a new car. For me a typical day is about 4 hours of city driving and 5 hours of highway. A friend suggested the '12 TDI for sale at the local dealership. 80k miles and they're asking 10.4. Black leather, looks good, sounds fair. Although I've done most of my own auto work over the last 20 years diesel engines are something I don't have a lot of experience with. So here's what I'm wondering.
1 - Generally, how well would this TDI stand up to being a much used company car?
2 - How much trouble would it be for a decent amateur mechanic to take care of one of these?
3 - I've seen it described as dependable, but not so much as the Accord. How well is this car built to last?
4 - At what mileage will this car begin to get expensive to own?
5 - Historically, which has given the lowest cost per mile, diesel or gas?
Thanks for the help
