Plan to look at a 2015 Jetta with the 1.8 Tsi in a couple of days. 6 speed standard, lady driver that works out of town and therefore these are highway miles. Has all the maintenance records and claims car has been well kept and has zero issues. Doesn't strike me as the kind of lady driver that used the be the butt of jokes in the past. Car looks impeccable (as per pics, haven't seen it in person yet).
I read that the life expectancy of this 3rd gen TSI to be 250 to 300k. How really accurate is this and is this a reason to stay away? Wife would be driving this vehicle 20,000km/year and plans to keep it for 2 years or so until she's saved enough for a Golf. Will this engine last another 40k past its "life expectancy"?
Hope to land it for far less than current market value. Is this a gamble worth taking? Would hate to pass on this car given all the other positives.
