The new TDI's should be out within the next month or two....maybe that will bring down the price of used ones.

I prefer manuals under all conditions, but I especially prefer them around town and in traffic. This is why I drive my 240D a lot more than I drive my 300. I have driven an automatic that I almost like, but it's an Allison 4000-series and it was in the MTVR.
