[Vwdiesel] vw tdi recommendation

[Chris Jude]

Alright,  lets say I was looking to spend $3500-6000 on a diesel VW.  And
let's say I'm looking for a car that is ready to run, not a big project car,
something that could generally be described as reliable.  it looks to me
that I would either be looking for an excellent mid80's or possibly a mid
90's TDI.  I've seen a few 97's and 98's around the area in the higher end
of this price range.  Obivously all of these individual cars are different
as subject to owner maintenance, location, etc, but can y'all make some
general recommendations on good years, models to look for?
I'm in the Raleigh, NC area.
