- 1979 Rabbit Diesel, 1982 Caddy Diesel, 1997 Passat ALH TDI Wagon, 2003 Jetta ALH TDI Wagon, 2012 Audi A3, Black, Titanium Package, 2015 Golf Sportwagen S TDI, 2013 Audi A3 8P (all sold), 2015 Golf SE 6M TDI
Up for sale is my 2003 Jetta TDI Wagon, ALH engine. I've had it for the past two years and 40,000 miles, after selling my 97 ALH Passat. I bought it at 145000 and it's in the 186000's now, as I have a 60 mile round-trip highway
commute. It gets 45 or so miles per gallon, 46.5 on the last tank, will probably get better through this fall, as I'm not using the air conditioner (which works well, by the way!). Solid performer. $5750 here in Louisville, KY. I'm currently tempted by a younger Audi A3, but if I don't get a good offer, I'll just keep driving my ALH!
