Indpt Auto Brokers BTDT? (minOOOO)

[dtdaily@ibm.net]

"Tacking!"

Can anyone lend some BTDT re purchasing a vehicle from an independent
auto "broker?"  I.e. someone who picks up lease returns off auction and
sells them to the gen public?  I'm more than a little hesitant.

Situation:  96 VW TDI Wagon. 34k M.  Asking "quite a bit."  I'm curious
why a car with such miles would be FS by broker rather than PO or
dealer?  For those who want to add opinions on the TDI I'm also
interested.  And for those that want to complain about the car not being
a q, you can forget about that too.  I just figured out that the money I
would save by going to diesel for my commute would mean mo payments of
less than $125 for a relatively new wagon.  Allowing me to save $$$ for
the S4 Avant purchase (knocking) a year (or less) later.
