Well, you didn't have any specs listed other than turbo and diesel.
Should be under $35K with some miles. I passed on a 6K mile 2011 for $39K because it was just too expensive for me when I'm going to burn it down in 3 years. If you want better mileage I don't know if there is a better (any?) option in the US than the Jetta but I can't speak to reliability of VW's at all. |
I thought there would be more options then a3, jetta and 335d when i posted this. Very sad to see there is not.

Ford Mondeo.
You'll have to import one from Europe, but it's a shockingly nice car to drive. |
Can't dodge it, ram it.

55k for the new 335d with options I would want. |
You mention $35,000, is that your ceiling?
Look into the TDI Jetta. My buddy has a MY08 or 09 with well over 200k miles and aside from timing belt changes (he does them himself, you should be able to as well), he's had no issues. I know, I know, a VW without gremlins, perhaps he's lucky, but I feel the TDI Jettas are all blessed with good fortune. |
Jettas are just so fugly
|
lol @ european unreliable shitboxes.
|
with small gas cars capable of 40mpgs at a fraction of the cost (car and fuel).....why do you insist on a turbodiesel?
|
F250 w/ 7.3?
|

The latest engines are pretty amazing for most drivers. Check out the new triple-turbo diesel that BMW has just released. 'Tis interesting. I was a diesel sceptic until my dad bought an '05 UK-spec 535d, and had it remapped. It makes around 315bhp, and one gazillion lb/f of torque. The latter means it feels like it makes 315hp everywhere in the rev range. The damping is awful, the tyre noise and the wind noise around the A pillar is sub-par, and the whole thing as a package feels like a bad compromise, but that's all another matter... |
