VW Jetta 2.0 TDI

zegna · 28 May 2012 at 13:30

Just bought one of these!

2007
2.0TDI 140
25,000 miles
One old-timer owner, with full service, garage kept condition. Absolutely spotless.

£5700

An equivalent golf would have been £7500+

They are a great used buy now. Will add pics when ive collected it.

I'm hoping I can pick up a Jetta in a few years time. It's about as big a car as I'd be able to get away with our owning without the wife moaning about it being too big for her to drive.

jettas with golf gti bumpers on look really nice.

the diesel definately wouldnt have been my choice though

The TFSI Sport models seem very cheap for what you get

lordrobs · 28 May 2012 at 15:41

That sounds like a cracking buy.

Brookert · 28 May 2012 at 17:20

Wow these cars are cheap! They look like great motorway cars.

Moeks · 28 May 2012 at 18:45

They are nice cars, and remarkably good value used. They aren't very interesting though, if that's a consideration.

I like these.

daisycutter · 28 May 2012 at 19:36

hmm good cars, great price

May have found the wifes next car, what's the best combo engine wise

1.6 petrol
1.9 derv
2.0 petrol

The derv looks like the better bet for finding a bargain as there are so many, petrols are few and far between.

[TW]Fox · 28 May 2012 at 20:22

Depends on what the car is really. A 1.9 diesel could be anything from an 80bhp normally aspirated pile of **** to a 150bhp thing and a 2.0 petrol could be anything from a 115bhp 8v heap of junk to a 300bhp TFSI!

Be about £6 - 7k and 10k a year

BAcon · 28 May 2012 at 23:08

back in 09 i had one of these for around 2 weeks as a courtesy car and did around 1k miles, it was a 2.0TDi and from what I can remember the brakes were good, power was sufficient enough and it was generally an ok car to drive. Was defo not exciting though, sounds like you got a good deal however, so enjoy!

Find a 2.0TFSI. There are hardly any around and those that do exist are not wanted.

My dad had one of these a few years, his was the 2.0 FSI Sport. Was a very nice looking car.

I genuinely like these, but can't figure why they are so cheap. Do people really dislike the saloon so much and would rather have the hatchback golf?

Bargain car

Bargain car

Medium sized saloons are never that popular, same deal with the Focus saloon.

I like these.

Had a good look round a black TFSI one when I bought the ST220.

Much prefer them to a Golf.

Hades · 29 May 2012 at 10:54

Hmmm, the old person in me is starting to like these, particularly as a budget version of a newer Golf.

indeed. The old man in me is saying 'You know this car would be much more sensible compared to an Audi TT. You know this is what you Should buy'.

Will I listen? nope
