How much would it cost to bring over one of these older diesels from Germany?
German built diesels are indestructible if maintained properly.
I have a ‘98 diesel Jetta 5 speed with almost 300 thousand miles on it and still gets me to where I need to with no problem. Was 20 below the other day, still cranked and started.
Years ago when I was stationed in Germany, many soldiers brought home Diesel Mercedes, BMW’s and VWs. I bet many stationed there now could get a fantastic bargain. The service used to ship your car home for free and a second car for a reasonable fee. I imagine if you knew someone stationed there you could work out a deal with them.
