Hi from the Kitsap County area in Washington state,
I just ran across this forum today while researching late model VW TDI's. I don't have a TDI but did have a 79 Mercedes 240D I converted with an Elsbett kit to run on vegetable oil two years ago. We're looking for a used car and the TDI idea keeps surfacing. I need to brush up on reliability, which model provides the most bang for the buck, which years score well in safety tests (2005 and newer?) and figure out what we can afford. I assume there are some preferred years out there? Any advice will be appreciated. Also, what are sources for ads other than craigslist?
Thanks.
