Subaru Outback for Jetta TDI?

What does zerodaze have to say about vw for cost effective, reliable daily driver?

Tom, that was a great post on what to look for :tup:

XanderA TDi will hold it’s value, but from the math you’re showing you’ll be upside-down for another 5? years if you go through with this. I’d say stick to where you’re at and you’ll be out from under a little before you’re done paying for the outback, which should be sooner than the above route.

Saving money on gas should set things off, but I doubt you’ll use if for extra car payments.

X…

I have to agree with Xander on this too^

you? pics?

I wouldnt count on it.

that is alot of fuel.

HHAHAHA… pwn3d…

TDI’s are hot, but the $ in the end isnt as much as dozr tells you.

that is all

I didnt even read his math.

I benefit from it a lot more than most people would, primarily since I drive around 25,000+ miles per year.

I figure I am saving approx $2500/year by driving the jetta over the outback I used to have (in gas savings), and I bet I could get that number quite a bit higher if i were to fix my injectors and timing.

This $2500 covers 90% of my car payments for the year.

I also got lucky and sold my outback right when outback prices peaked, so I made some cash on it.
