Thinking about getting a tdi jetta sport wagon in the spring/early summer . What should i look out for . Its gotta be an automatic as its a daily and i don’t wanna shift or the wife doesn’t either. I don’t know whats a better year than others , i wanna spend around 20k on it. I don’t know anything about them other than the great mileage . Whats the warranty like on them , should i get extended if its like a 2011? Basically i know nothing about these vehicles. ---

you won’t find one for 20k unless it’s a 2010 with over 70k on it… i’d be happy to answer all your questions you if you want to pm me some time… used tdi wagons are very rare fyi too… so keep an eye out for them when then pop up. ---

Own a 2011 2.5 Sportwagen and I absolutely love it. As Chris said though you aren’t going to find one for $20,000 unless it has miles on it. What type of commute do you have for work? I couldn’t justify the difference in price to own a tdi. I bought my car through Chris and he was an awesome sales man to deal with. ---

ALH is the engine code. Very stout engine that just lasts. Where the hell is Wayne he owns at least 4 ALHs in spare parts alone. ---
