Still looking at vehicles. Next on the list I found this one:
1998 Volkswagen Jetta TDI-Excellent MPG!!!
Ideas? Sounds like he'd let it go for cheap. I have no problem doing a bit of work to it if its going to run for a good while longer. I'm not sure how long TDI engines last though.
Edit: I also found this:

It too has high miles.
