I don't know if you are aware of this, but the majority of the public does NOT really feel that great about diesel cars (still). Only the people here at GMI and other car forums appreciate them.

So, for resale value, it's hard to tell, especially on a VW. Like it was mentioned before, if it weren't for the 'horrible' reliability record, it would be very tempting. It is an attractive price, BUT, it is a VW after all
