No offence, but this is bad advice, you should never let your car get to the point where its no longer safe to drive or to the point where you dont know if its going to break down on you or not.

As for the TDi, as long as you can find one with a solid maintanance history, you should be gold. my father is on his 3rd, currently a little over 300k, going in for his second timing belt and water pump in a few KM's. He had his master brake cylinder go on him, cost was $700 at the dealer to replace, but other than that, his TDi's have been solid. This one with over 300k, is an automatic.

He had 0 electrical issues on his TDi's. I had some electrical issues on my 94 golf CL, that thing was such a POS, made the 00 focus look good. :ph34r:
