Ok I have a small problem. I NEED to get rid of my 2003 Dodge 2500 diesel. I just got a promotion at work and now need to drive 110 miles a day round trip instead of 12 miles round trip. (yes the pay is that good!!) and I need something more economical. The Dodge gets 18.5 mpg and I'm looking at the TDI Jetta. Dealer has a new 05 5spd with leather, ESP for $22,645 and not willing to deal too much plus low balled my trade in. Another used car dealer (large franchise) has an 03 TDI with cloth seats , 5speed, cold weather package for $15998. The 03 has 27k miles. What would you do? Anything to look for when I check out the 03? Help. I'm going tomorrow and may have them transfer the 03 so I can check it out. Thanks for all the info. Chris
