The small VW diesels are selling at a premium now on eBay, and at most
used car dealers. They aren't sticking around long either ..... several
Diesel Jettas and Beetle I saw listed on AutoTrader or cars.com had sold
within a day of the listing.

Please don't, they are SMOKING POLLUTING rusty guns.
Also remember a rusty body offers little protection from other vehicles.

No as for the new advanced diesels of this year, go for them.

Too funny. Do you know how many of the "NEW" VW diesels are on the TOP10
list for most polluting vehicles this year. The Toureg V10 is the #1 worste
pollutor. I belive they have 2 or 3 more in the top 10. Just cause its new
doesnm't mean its clean.

Since the only diesel VW is offering for this year is... NONE, with the new
TDI Jetta to actually be an 09 model (for which I've already placed a
deposit)... one of us has some erroneous information.

Craig:

Allow me to correct my earlier post... the VW site does list a TDI as
optional for the Tourareg, although my dealer laughed when I asked about
them as they've never had one. However, and fwiw, the new TDI 09 version
will be the FIRST diesel to meet emission standards for all 50 states... and
will be the cleanest, greenest diesel ever.
