getting a new car - Purplecomputer - 11-15-2012
So I dont have to sell the mercedes anymore!
My dad came across a 1997 Jetta TDI 5 speed for 1500. A friend of his is selling it so he is willing to go for that low and will hold onto it until I have the money (only need another 500 bucks)
The only issue is it has mixed up vacuum lines.
Engine was rebuilt + new turbo
its green on tan so not the best color combo but hey, who cares!

You should buy any number of Fords that used a 2.3/2.5 inline 4
Or any number of Jeeps with the 4.0L inline 6

CONGRADULATIONS !
Keep the Benz !
I was going to list my recent purchase ... but I was concerned over the buying public's frenzy and the pandamonium it would cause. I was going to list it at $7,500 and drop the price to $4,000.00 which evidences a great deal. LOL.
RE: getting a new car - Simpler=Better - 11-15-2012
Seriously though, what are you looking for in a car? Speed, comfort, reliability, etc? Is a car ruled out for being boring, even if it's reliable?
For the TDI, I understand the motor is decently reliable, and than the chassis will have the usual VW electrical gremlins. From what I've heard, a $400 tune that fixes the EGR and bumps up the fuel output is worth every cent. That and $1500 is hella cheap-the local guys want $1200 for the motor alone.

RE: getting a new car - sassparilla_kid - 11-15-2012
Common rail/electronic injection diesels don't do too well with burning grease from my experience. We tried it withmy friend's '05 F-250 and it ran like crap, he could barely get it over 55 on grease, and several times the computer just shut the truck off
RE: getting a new car - Greazzer - 11-15-2012
poop then for burning grease.

hahah, you keep pushing for that ford. I did mention this car is a TDI right?
yeah I know VW that age are notorious for electrical problems and what not, but fuck it. At least its not a corolla. The reason I am buying it is because I want a turbo diesel. I just cant go back to a gasser.

I hear ya, I miss my diesel. The Ford is awesome-it ALWAYS starts, has enough power, is quiet, good mileage, runs shit over when I ask it to, etc...but it's just not a diesel.
Might as well get that TDI then-just be sure to drive the 240 on a weekly basis.
