Sorry for the odd question. But I recently bought my wife a new(er) car, and I'm trying to decide whether I should take her old SUV or keep my TDI.
This is the only TDI I've ever had. I enjoy it and like the mpgs! It has 81k miles on it, automatic, no pano, great condition. The only issue I had with it was right after I bought it (used with ~30k miles on it). I had to take it to a dealer, and they had to replace the entire emissions system. Thankfully, it was under warranty.
All that being said, I also like being frugal. Of course, that's what first attracted me to the TDI...the money I could save on fuel. Two things have pushed me towards selling it: Carvana has offered me $9,450 for it -and- I worry about the more expensive repairs that I hear from the horror stories on this forum and others. I know some are related to the emissions system, and since I live in Alabama, I guess I could delete??
My wife's old car, which is what I'd drive if I sold the TDI, is an older model Toyota Sequoia. By reputation, they last forever and are easy to repair and get parts for.
I know a lot of the old alh models were known to last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Is my model TDI a crapshoot once it gets past, say, 150k?
