It looks like work might be changing a bit for me. I'm not going to do the bike commuting thing again. So I'm looking around right now for a VW with a TDI. I'd prefer a Jetta. Manual a must.

TDI's rule!!! Wife has a TDI bug and we get about 50-60mpg with it. Check TDI CLUB (www.tdiclub.com)

And we've heard Seca really had a good time picking up guys in his Bug. :gheydance:

Hell yeah I'm still pissed about that you bastard! I even was showing you some good leg! Course, I really don't see how you could have seen me past Marc's mom. She seemed to be taking up pretty much all of the inside of the car.

Drew, let me know your budget and I'm going to pass word over to a buddy of mine all over the Volkswagen boards. He might be able to find something for you.

Looking for 92-04 year range. Prefer a 96 or so to get the full TDi. I've got my eye on a few on ebay right now. It's a large span of years so price will vary. But ~6K on top end price.

Ehh it's nothing fancy. Just a Passat TDI. Bought it off ebay for $1600. It's got a fuel leak at the IP head seal. Got the $20 seal kit on it's way to fix it. Hopefully I'll have it going tonight. (It runs fine, just leaks fuel bad)

Ah cool. Is it a 5spd model? It should make your drive nicer.

Yup 5 speed. Turbo diesels aren't fun without them!
