Hello from a potential owner! ** now got one!**
Hi,
Finally signed up today from a week or two of intense browsing and information gleaning...
.. currently looking for a lovely conditioned TDi to act as a reliable daily 70 mile commuting car through decent A roads and a few sweepy B roads.
I looked at a 80k mile 75 TDi and 90k mile 90 TDi today and confess that the 90 felt much better regardless of the history and condition; that is opinion after all.
I've read about the higher potential costs involved with the 90 and hence why I've initially discounted it, but upon driving the 90 (on the way home from driving the 75) I learnt that it's had a new dual mass fly wheel (Assuming the clutch was changed too?) so that's one cost discounted already.
The two cars are about the same age (within a couple of months) and similar mileage (about 80-90k)
I'm not that bothered with performance to be honest as I'm getting a second car as a daily commuter so MPG is king (I've an M3 in the garage for fun times) so even though the 90 has a new clutch/DMF but potential variable turbo issues, which would you go for?
