You are in the small minority of people who should trade up to a newer car. That 1.5 hr commute means you need reliable, fuel efficient transportation. I love my VW TDI for long haul commuting--the 55-58 mpg in warmer weather means I don't fill up very often. Just know that oil changes on TDIs are not cheap, so budget for it.

I second the credit union idea. There are lots of open-participation community credit unions with great loan rates, although a certified pre-owned VW might qualify for preferential loan rates through VW that would beat the credit union's rates. You can get 0% APR right now on new Jettas, dunno what the CPO rates are like.

Good luck...
