Anyone have some input???
I am considering buying a 2005/2006 TDI jetta or a recent jetta 2009/2010 with new TDI engine, I am looking around and see the used jettas (100k miles +) $9K-$13K and a like new jetta (~500 miles to 15K) $21K-$23K.
The 2005/2006 jettas with an unknown history (how good was previous owner to car) and dealer doing a detail job on the car to hide clues of previous car taker, the used jettas are over priced in my opinion.
My struggle...
The 2005/2006 is depreciated out and maybe half its life gone (due to poor care).
The 2009/2010 will depreciate but I will be able to maintain properly and get max life out of powertrain.
Anyone else think the same thing about the used prices?? I am like everyone else, looking for the best long term deal.
