Just putting a feeler out there. Interested in buying a diesel pick up truck in which case I would have to unfortunately sell my TDI. Just wondering how much interest is out there and what some folks think its worth. Here is the scoop:

Bought it from VW dealer in Langhorne, PA with 60,500 miles
Currently has 167,100
I have all maintenance records
Timing belt always done @ 60,000
Engine runs strong
Consistently get 48-50 MPG
Nice cold air
Pretty clean interior
Exterior has a few dents, dings,scratches (commuter car)
Cracked/damaged front bumper
I never did get a carfax when I bought it but they told me it was in an accident (bumper was busted then and I never got it fixed)

If you have any questions please let me know. Like I said I have receipts and detailed records on everything done to the car since I've had it.

Wow

Finally got done dealing with the lady's insurance and adjuster. Dropped the car off today for repairs and should be done in a week. Will post some pictures then. Car was never smoked in and will be sad to see her go.

My understanding is that year they only offered a manual which is what I have. The timing belt was done by a "trusted mechanic" from off this website. It was Gene's Foreign Car in Broomall, PA.

Ordered new wheel covers that still have not arrived:mad: Better be here tomorrow! Then I'm gonna wash her up and take a bunch of pictures. If I can't get what I want for it I'll just keep it. The car runs like a champ and has given me very few problems. Who can beat 50 MPG!
