[Vwdiesel] Going to buy

[Bill Truesdell]

The insurance co has the car now, but I just put in a new alternator
(Bosch - re manufactured). The car is at Seacoast Auto body in
Brunswick, Maine. Michilene tires (two years old) but not much else.
220k miles and clutch going bad and probably rings starting that way. I
figured I would be putting some money into it shortly, but the accident
let me buy an new toy much earlier than expected.
I did buy the 2000 TDI and will be picking it up today. Thanks, Lee for
the excellent info on the TDI. I usually just skimmed over the TDI
problems, so now will be paying closer attention.

Did take it on a test drive last night. Diesels accelerate! It was fun
showing my wife the difference between our old diesel and the TDI.

I share your concern with Morong. I bought two vws from them but really
did not want to go there again. I bought the 2000 from O'Connor in
Augusta. They gave me a 2003 loaner and I will have the car today and
will pay them either tomorrow or Thursday, when my CU check comes in.
Amazing how much they trust you there and the quality of the loaner.
