Went to the dealer today and see what I would have to do for a buy back.
They only have a 2015 Jetta 1.8TSI Sport, which still doesn't do it for me with the slushbox
transmission. 170HP, and 184lb-ft torque, but without a DSG, it doesn't get to the ground.
Does not accelerate like my TDI does.
So, anyhow, this is how it works:
You take yours in, RUNNING, and they put you in another car, while yours sits there
as they wait for the buy back. This way, you're not driving your buy-back for it to fail
on you, or to rack up more miles.
I could have gotten into that 2015 Jetta TSI TODAY, but just was not satisfied with the
performance. Even with over $100.00 less a month payment, I just could not make
the move into the gasser.... Plus, I have so much stuff to take off and out of the TDI.
If it had a DSG, well, I would probably have taken that 2015 Jetta TSI Sport.
2015 TDIs are being fixed, and they have brand new 2015 TDIs on the lot, but they still
can't sell them, they may be able to lease them for a year, but no one wants that.
Why the year? They have to be driven for a year before they can fix them. They can't
sell them, in case they're not brought back in a year for the fix, and as I said, no one
wants to lease one for a year. This is also in case it can't be fixed for whatever reason.
That fix also includes removal an replacement of the DPF, but they need a year on it.
SO, do I dump $1800 into my TDI just have it for a year, or do I get another car...
This is the decision I have to make now, save $110 a month, saving me $1320 within
the same time span? It's looking like a replacement is on the horizon..
