My sister has wanted a Diesel car for a while, I gave her an 80 300D that I was given for parts, her and I have worked on it, but she has given up on it... mainly because she wants even better fuel mileage now that she moved farther from work, and is now commuting about 60 miles one way to work.
So she found her self a 2000 Golf TDI. My Dad will be financing the car for her, and he has asked me to look into the car and make sure it’s a good buy. I drove the car last week and I really liked it. I own an old Toyota Tercel wagon, and I love it, and the Golf was awesome because it’s like the best of both my cars, a German Diesel (like my 300SD) and small wagon (like the Toyota).
I was thinking that a lot of you guys know more about Diesels then me, and maybe some of you guys are TDI owners and could tell me what I should be looking for to make sure this is a good buy for my sister.
