TDI
2009 Jetta
Today we took our beloved 2009 Jetta TDI w/123,xxx miles to Wallace VW in Stuart, FL for our $12,800 VW buyout. We had purchased the car for only $11,777 three (3) years ago and at 82,xxx miles. We had also received $1,000 in two loyal gift cards several months ago. :D

Well a few blocks down the road at Wallace Chevrolet, also today we bought a mint condition, one owner, 2014 Chevy Cruze LT will ONLY 25,000 miles for a mere $10,500!!! :D

The Cruze is nearly IDENTICAL in size to our old Jetta TDI. It is rated at 38 MPG highway with its 1.4L turbo engine, so I expect fuel economy very close to our old TDI, and with regular gas that much cheaper than diesel, I expect fuel expenses to be the same as always.

BTW: Our son still drives our old '98 Jetta TDI at over 250,000 miles! Still runs GREAT! (I was Ric Woodruff here way back in those old days)

The Cruze is quite a nice car! :)
