thanks for looking in here:wave:
after driving to work 80 miles daily for the last 3.5 years I decided that it was time to keep an eye out for a more fuel efficient car as living out here in the pacNW is not cheap at all, nor is driving a petrol car lol. I was just browsing a local dealer and found a 2012 golf tdi with the technology package which I went to check out; and I ended up buying it 2 days later. with 32k on the clock and all service records done locally at the dealer where it was originally bought I think it was pretty good going for 15k all said and done.
considering all that has happened with dieselgate I was skeptical about buying a fixed tdi but so far I am very happy with the car....of course there will be modifications in the long run but most of the engine mods may wait till after the 2 year warranty is up or whatnot.
