Hello, I’ve already been looking, but I don’t really get conclusive from the previous contributions. Looking for a new car, so want to invest 6,000. For this I get a nice Astra year 2000 with less than 75,000. For about 7.500 you get a 3L Lupo, built in 2001 and run under 50,000. I find the car very horny, because of the whole technology in there (e.g. circuit). Since I want to assume that a TDI creates many KM (200,000) I would like to do that. Now I have read so much about the repairs and am not sure if the TDI would be a smart investment. See gear damage, gear changer, … How likely is such damage? Is the Quali really that bad? And do I always have to go to VW, a free workshop? Thanks for answers, I hope someone can help me here…
