As the thread title says I’m looking into getting a 2016 tdi prestige.. found one semi nearby that has 63k miles on it and they’re asking around 25k for it.

Are these quality vehicles and is there anything I should be worried about with the Diesel engines? From glancing over the carfax the dealer has provided it looks like it has followed the required maintenance when needed.

I’ve had a 15 s3 and then switched to a 12 a6 that I currently have. Leaning towards the tdi because of the better gas mileage and the heads up display.

Thanks in advance for your responses and advice

I have been very happy with my 2015 TDi. It is a torque monster and has been trouble tree. The EPA fix extended warranty can be a huge plus. my car is under warranty all the way up to 157k miles!

Don't wait, purchase before someone else gets it !!

The engine is incredible. I have had no issues in 62K miles, and have not yet done the fix. As Kevin notes, with the fix you are getting a substantial extended warranty.

Agreed. Only 12k on mine, but I love the engine. Tons of torque (more than an S6) and great mileage to boot.

A few TDI's out there with significantly less mileage at decent pricing if you do a search on the auto sites. Either way do it. It's a lovely engine. .02

I had a 2014 TDI and loved it, then found a new 2016 TDI on the dealer lot after the fix was done in May 2018. The fuel economy/torque combo is amazing.

The 3.0 TDI is a gem, 92,000 on mine, uses no oil between 10K changes, not one issue with the car EVER. Buy it!!

Thanks so much for everyone’s replies.. def going to go through with it. Beyond excited and checked with the dealership the extended warranty goes to oct 2025 or 120k!

You are going to love it!

Not a problem here. Great vehicle. Just make sure to run it to get hot so it can regen. If you get a CEL chances are it's due to that (speaking from experience).
