Just made my buy back appt. at my dealership after finding a beautiful 2014 BMW 328d with 33K miles to replace my 09 Jetta. Getting the BMW for just a few thousand more than the buyback money I'll be receiving, it's a no brainer for me.
Have to say though, I'm going to miss the Jetta. It's been a fun driving experience every time with nothing spent on repairs for 73K miles. Didn't want to push my luck any further.
Saw quite a few low milage TDI Passats for sale in my area also, and most were priced higher than the $18,500 I am paying for the BMW. I'm sure the BMW will cost more for ongoing maintenance, but I think it's worth the difference in fuel mileage, luxury, and driving experience. Also, I'll probably look into an extended warranty for the bummer, so that will be additional cost. Still, I am excited and feel very fortunate. Just a few years ago, I was only dreaming of owning a 328d. Woohoo!!
