I have a 2000 jetta TDI 5 speed. 176000 miles. I have owned 3 TDI's. Stay away from auto's. Make sure you have documented T-belt service. If not plan on having done when you buy it. Intakes can carbon up. But I love no less than 36MPG- As good as 55MPG on highway. I also use some sort of diesel fuel treatment quite often (staydyne?) Glowplug relay issues-always. But I live in Florida so I don't care. I also had to reseal the injection pump-so check and make sure that is good. My Favorite so far was a 1997 Passat TDI 5 speed.- had it to about 250,000 before I sold it... I still miss it.
