even despite Diesel gate the TDI and 6speed manual is one of the best engine transmission combos you can put in a car.... the drivetrain is one of the main reason I would buy a car, afuel efficient reliable drivetrain, and the sport wagon is sharp, fun to drive, and has tons of storage space, I love them
Love this program -- just bought a 2014 Passat TDI SEL Premium CPO for $13k with 28,000 miles. The CPO warranty makes it even better -- in addition to the extended emissions warranty (10 years, 3 months or 123,000 miles in my case), the CPO warranty provides a 2-year, unlimited mileage bumper to bumper warranty on the entire car. Can't go wrong!
Steve Pepin YES! Me too! I got a 13 Passat 2.0 TDI SEL as well! Beautiful car. Mine had 69k milles. However I still have all the same coverages you mentioned. The 2 year unlimited mileage bumper to bumper is fantastic. I easily put 40k a year in miles on my cars, so that type of warranty is spectacular to me. I paid $12k for mine. $14k total loan, honestly don’t really recall how the price jumped so much near the end. But 40+ MPG is amazing going from an 04 A4 1.8T I was getting 15-20MPG and that was with premium gas, with regular the car ran horrible and knocked all the time. So basically the cost savings from gas make up the car payment I have now. Lol
I bought a 2015 GSW a month ago. The tdi with the 6 speed manual is soooooooo good. I love it. Watching several videos about these dieselgate vehicles lately. You all were right about the value going up. Between prices on everything going up... I paid a pretty penny for it. Got exactly what I was looking for tho. It all worked out 👍
YUP...the cars were parked in huge lots...hundreds of thousands of them...they started slipping them into the dealers over time once the EPA allowed a fix to them...I bought a 2011 SW TDI for about $9K with 70K miles. About 2 years after we bought it started throwing emission codes (it continued to drive well). I went to a dealer who did about $3.5K in repairs (replaced DPF and a few other things), VW paid for it and haven't thrown a code since...We now have about 150K miles on it...
Just got a 2013 Passat tdi CPO from an actual Volkswagen dealership and it comes with a 2 year unlimited mile bumper to bumper warranty. Definitely glad with the purchase
@@AudiDstay absolutely love it. Only problem I’ve had is the AC went out but it was covered under the warranty so didn’t pay a dime. The gas mileage is amazing too, I drive about 30 miles to and from work everyday and I get about 550-600 miles on a full tank
Recently purchased a 2011 Audi A3 TDi. Previous owner put it on lowering springs, thicccc ESR wheels, and a BBK. Got a KermaTDi tune. Hauls ass now and even with the extra boost it feels healthy. Love driving it. 86k miles and ended up paying 11k for it.
In-process of buying a 2014 VW Sportwagen TDi that has gone through the VW redo. Can't wait to get it. Didn't notice much difference in the way of performance (mine is a 6 speed manual, the only way I want one). Great price and comes with a nice warranty.
@@storytimethewrightway3954 My wife had a 2009 with a manual. It was a great car and we did the buyback with 140K miles. I recommended my buddy buy one for his wife and she got a 2014 with a manual. She really liked it. They did the buyback at 50K miles and with the money got a new Golf Sportwagen TSI with manual and had $5000 leftover. After the embargo was rescinded in 2017 I got a heavily discounted new 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI with manual. I have put 22K miles on it and it averages around 45 mpg and gets in the 50s on the highway doing 75 mph. Oops, I was replying to threeer02's comment. But regarding the warranty, it appears to be really good but the length of the warranty is variable. It has two phases, but what is really important is the second part kicks in after you get the "modification". If you don't wait and get it early (they will try and talk you into it), then you shorten your warranty.
I want the VW Diesel back... next year I will replace a vehicle with a low mileage Passat TDI and I might get myself a Jetta or Beetle TDI the year after... I had a Jetta and it was wonderful... the torque and the mpg possible... driving fuel economic became a sport... now on that note... get the standard transmission if you don't mind the manual shifting... the manual just fits the motor...
Got a used 2013 Beetle TDI and I absolutely love the crap out of her. She’s an awesome car and I do not regret buying her or as I call it saving Fancy the Beetle from the used car lot. Yes, she is named after the song Fancy by Reba McEntire.
I don't care about the diesel gate thing. The cars run great, with the exception of the NOx sensor getting dirty around 40k miles, the cars are great. If you live in a place with emissions tests, the fix performed will gaurentee you will pass emission tests.
I bought 3 weeks ago a 2015 Passat TDI SEL Premium CPO with 36k miles for 14800. I really like it. I would probably upgrade it with a Kerma kit to have more power and better mileage. I'm averaging 36 mpg combined.
Bought a 2012 Jetta in April with 31,000 miles. Immaculate interior. A few exterior issues. All the consumables were new. Brakes, tires, belts fluids. Like new for $10000 and we month bumper to bumper. Excellent basic transportation.
Thanks for the great video. I'm now on the look out for a cheap Golf or Passat. Would you know if they offer the same warranty on cars sold in Australia?
I just bought a 2015 Gold Sportwagen TDI from a dealership for $12k, and it comes with 2 years Unlimited Warranty. My buddy bought one even more recently and it comes with Lifetime Powertrain Warranty! (Amazing)

some have issues some dont I have had numerous cars with leaking sunroof including Vauxhall and peugeot my mum had a tdi only issue she had was the gearbox needed replacing
Here’s my thoughts. I hate VW/Audi for this. It’s horrible for the environment and very shady of them. However I love their cars and German engineering. I’ve owned 2 Audi A4’s, and now I own a 13 Passat TDI. I just bought it a few weeks ago. TDIs are very reliable and long lasting if you maintain well. If diesel is more expensive by a large margin where you live you may want to reconsider, however I do get beautiful gas millage in this car, compared to my old A4 B6 1.8T. Now the big thing is those warranties. Buy CPO from a VW dealer. You get 2 years unlimited millage bumper to bumper in addition to the emissions warranty. That’s on a USED car. And these cars are already priced so cheap because of the scandal these cars tanked in value, so you’re getting a great vehicle, at a great warranty, at a great price. All around a win, win. Now the question is, are you going to support a company responsible for polluting so much of our air, deceiving millions and millions of people for decades, and trust that they “Fixed” the emissions issues with these TDI engines? That’s up to you to decide. Economically speaking though, great buy for myself, and I would recommend just because I love these German cars so darn much.
I just bought a 2.0 litre tdi golf gt 2012 it's one of the last mk6 lovely car drives beautifully and has loads of torque I love that growl the engine makes plus it's got lowered stock suspension corners flat but still really comfortable what a car!
VW will probably still do the fix even though the 2.0 dates are over and only 3.o right now are being taking back. The buyback or getting paid for them is long over
VW is sending all these TDI's to dealer auctions. So unless you have a dealer license or know someone that has one, you can't buy these directly from VW.
Thats not how emissions tests work on modern vehicles. Theres no dyno, no revving, etc. You literally just plug the car in to the testing unit via the diagnostic port, run the car a few seconds, and its done.
@@skyeric875 I live in Indiana. You literally dont leave your car and they dont touch it besides plugging the testing unit in. They dont hook anything to your exhaust unless you have an older car they cant plug into. You literally just turn the car on for a short time and thats it.

What happens if you buy a dieselgate car now that hasn’t had the emissions system modified yet? Can you take it to VW now ?
Yes if your vehicle still required the modification, VW is required to complete it, or buy it back.
