Lease was up and I tried to get Chase to get the purchase paperwork together
starting in May. They screwed up the paperwork five times. Then, two weeks
ago as I was waiting again on paperwork to be overnighted to me, Chase
called me and said my account was in collections and they wondered where the
car was because they came by to repo it but, thank God, it was in the
garage. I tripped off and told them to stuff their paperwork and I was
taking the car back instantly to the dealer. I don't need to put up with
their crap...I can get a car where ever I want to.

OK, so what happened to the bug?

last guy to leave a traffic light.
It would have been easy to justify driving the TDI given my daily commute
and even though it was a neat little diesel, it just doesn't have the
character the 300D does. It isn't as fun to drive as the 300D is. And, I
doubt it is as safe as the 300D is.
Now that the TDI is in the history books, my decision on what to drive is
easy.

Sick - absolutely sick.
You've already done the damage to the 240D if you're seeing more rust
each year. Continue to use it for the winter beater, and get your self
a clean one to baby.

I've not driven this car much, but almost fell in love with it today.
Very
fuel efficient (30 mpg combined), peppy, and surprisingly roomy for my
6'4"
frame. The AC is ice cold, so much so that I had to turn it down with
an
outside air temp of 95F.
Since I hate to drive my 240D around when they are putting salt on the
roads, I am wondering if I shouldn't just buy this car from Megan and
use it
for two purposes: (1) my one-mile each way commute to work, which if I
understand what Marshall tells me is NOT good for a diesel, and (2) all
of
my winter driving, when the Iowa DOT is keeping the roads open with
salt.
