How does this sound for a 2014 JSW

[fruitcakesa]

I have been an ALH and BEW owner for 16 years and am knowledgeable about them but am completely at sea with the newer cars.
Saw this ad:
2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
TDI 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6M)
Mileage: 66,056
Very clean $12k USD.
Have not seen it in person but looks great in photos.

I kind of agree with TABA.

A year and a half a go I gave $12,900 for a 2014 JSW with 25,000 miles out of California.

I guess you can always dicker and see where you end up.

Thanks for the comps. I have not considered buying another TDI but I saw the ad and thought I would check it out.

If you search on cars.com, you can read the carfax on most of the cars to make sure it's not from, as an example, new jersey. And you can use the vin# to see how much extended emissions warranty it has left- I've gotten:
4 glow plugs
Intake manifold
Intercooler
Catalytic converter
Dpf
Entire cylinder head
-for free out of that warranty. They're the best deal in used cars IMO. If it's under $13k and has most or all of that warranty left, it's as good of a car as you can get for that price.

Here's an example, only thing missing is the carfax but this one has every bit of its 54000 mile warranty left and is only $9k. Ask the dealer for the carfax, and if it doesn't have any red flags, you're crazy if you don't buy this car. As far as I can tell, it also doesn't have a sunroof, which is super hard to find.
