Hello everyone!
My name is Dean and I am a diesel-a-holic. (murmering in background...Hello Dean)
I've got a 2006 Dodge Ram diesel that has eighty one thousand miles on it so far, and still has the original tires on it...nothing but routine maintance and 17-22 mpg.
I selected the 2006 model in order to avoid the additional smog stuff that was mandated on the 2007 models. Am I correct in assuming that reasoning holds true for the Jetta TDI?
My wife drives a 99 Durango, and she is getting the itch for something that gets a little better milage. So I'm thinking about selling the Durango along with a restored 85 Suzuki Samuri, my bass boat and paying cash for an economical car for her.
I've been looking at some 2005, 2006, Jetta TDI's, but the eighty thousand mile timing belt replacement schedule kinda has me spooked.
Now I'm wondering if I should buy something with a small gas motor, but like I said...I like diesel's.
I know the search feature is my friend, but comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
