Still can't justify buying a new car, ever. I tried to buy the little used diesels about 5 years ago but couldn't find one at a good price. Fuel was cheap then so I got a low mileage Prius for a bargain and I still laugh every time I pass the gas station with a ram pickup filling up. I doubt I'll buy anything but a hybrid ever again. I still burn gas but at 60-70 mpg, not much compared to my old ram at 12-15 mpg. Cheers!

Diesel has been a phenomenal option for cars in Europe with no issues. Think about it, they allow most of heavy duty equipment, heavy buses and other vehicles to run on diesel and do not allow super clean BMWs and Audis on the road. Are you kidding me? PHEV hybrid with diesel engine would have been a phenomenal solution. Imagine a good sized SUV with 30-35 mpg and a small battery that would last 50 km for daily trips to work? Instead they decided to push this super dirty agenda with Teslas, with their huge batteries, with the dirty mining, with dirty diesel trucks moving Earth. It was a very politically motivated choice and a total environmental disaster.
Got a 2017 Audi A4 , had diesel cars back in India ,lol they vibrated like tractors and were at the mechanics every month for a tune-up n clean .
Are the VW diesels reliable ,do u have mechanics servicing them , thinking of buying a used VW diesel as my daily commute beater.
The 55k for a new Tesla I was contemplating might likely go into some REITS, Retail REITS look cheap n good dividends.
