I fell in love with TDI's when I got a Golf TDI as a rental car on a work trip to Scotland a couple years ago, but haven't been in the market for a car until now. I've been hunting for a couple months, but haven't had much luck.
I live in St. Paul, MN and would love to buy a Mk4 Jetta Wagon GLS in a manual transmission. I also have siblings in Iowa City, Kansas City, Madison and St. Louis who could make the transaction for me and then I could get the vehicle next time my brothers get together. I would like it to have fewer than about 150,000 miles and be in overall good condition with no rust. I much prefer heated leather seats and would also like but don't have to have ASP/ESP. My wife has vetoed white, but any other color is fine.
In general, I'm looking for a car that doesn't need anything done beyond regular maintenance for the foreseeable future. My wife and I just had our second child, a sweet baby girl, and I don't have tons of extra time for tinkering or modding. I do need a nice road-tripping car for my family of four to go visit the rest of our family that is spread out around the midwest (plus some on the west coast).
I'm ready to buy right now, but don't have a desperate need. I just know the right TDI wagon can be hard to find, so I'm starting my search early. I need it by next August at the very very latest, but I want it now.
I feel a little jerky having this be my first post, but this will be my first TDI so I haven't had much to add yet. Just been lurking and learning.
Thanks for your time.
