I don't know about not saving money, when you buy your new car it looses money anyway, I got $18K for my LT TDCi when I traded up to my Mk2 LV auto TDCi. A Diesel will always give you a better tradin over the petrol models so it is all relative. It is not like you loose all the money you put in to get the Diesel option, then you get better fuel consumption than a lot of smaller cars. So as you can see a Diesel makes more sense at the bowser and resale value well apart from the fun factor of all that torque.
