I'm slightly older and have not been able to let go of my stuff. I keep 2 SDs, an 00 Cummins and a 12 TDI (I hate spell check) that doesn't get any wrenching.

I wouldn't sell the TD if it was to the point of maintenance only. The old cars can be fixed at home and I LIKE driving them. The new one is well, transportation and sucks an unbelievable amount if it ever goes to the shop.

VW gave me $500 that had to be spent at the dealer. Oil, filters, alignment and the cheapest battery was $550.

I prefer the SD. VW goes back this December. Good car but it's just a car.
