Found one. It is a 2013 Jetta Sport Wagon. It needs a little work, as in all the major maintenance items (Timing belt, engine oil & trans service, and anything else you can think of), but it drives nicely and the new driver is looking forward to driving it. That's after the 300+ mile test drive home.

Thanks to everyone who had a good suggestion and/or wished us well.

Cheers,

PH

"My wife needs a different car." "but my wife's inspection is even more stringent" "she wrote the book on stubborn" "You gotta remember this will be a woman with self respect driving it" " that argument doesn't work with her." "I can't afford newer ones due to a couple of financial disasters"

That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

I won't be taking your car home

Dude, I showed the missus your reply. She gave you the single digit 'you're #1' reply. I have to agree. I have a partnership and a great partner, not a piece of chattel.

If you are in a non-emissions testing state, might I suggest a newer TDI? I feel your search would be more fruitful if you expanded your net to include the newer CR TDI's... (and yes, I know well the MKIV draw).

Unfortunately, all of those I have seen that are driveable are well beyond my price range. Believe me, there is nothing I would like more than the latest and greatest, but it just isn't in the cards right now.

Have you tried auto tempest search engine? It searches a whole BUNCH of platforms nationwide if you want and can drill down with advanced search.

Good luck!

What's your price range? Have you checked your local FB marketplace? There's a nice looking '12 Jetta Sportwagen , DSG,123k near me for $7500 on Marketplace
