That same Jetta with the TDI = $6,550
Yeah, I used to think that people didnt like diesels, until I found what TDI's were going for - there **must** be a demand somewhere. I am on a local VW board and the guys that work at the dealer there are always commenting about TDI's flying out the door as soon as they come in. This could be due to the fact that VW isnt shipping enough over here, but even if it is...I belive that people are waking up...
(and VW doesnt need to be the only one selling diesels at MSRP...)

I seem to recall that even in trucks, the same thing with a diesel engine is several grand more. that stands to reason that when resold, it will fetch a little more.
I think that people are getting those are into it for what it is. Also the fact there are a few people who would buy bugs and sell them for more than they paid for them says the same thing. I don't think people get them because they are diesel, rather because it is different tho
