I want some buyers advice from the forum. I want an inexpensive and reliable vehicle. I have heard that 240D are great cars but as slow as a turtle on quaaluuds (sp?). I have a 99 VW Jetta TDI which is remarkably quick for a diesel. I don't expect anything like that. Any advice? I have been looking at 300D and TD wagons from the 80's and a few 240D from the late 70's. Most have around 200K on the clock. Any models to stay away from? Any models that are must buys? I really like the wagons but they are harder to find. Are the gas cars as long lasting as the diesels? Any experiences buying on EBAY?
Sorry about all the questions, just value the experiences on this forum.
