SOLD The Jetta today!!!!!!!! 02-28-09
I wil miss it after having it for 12 years!
Well I bought my MK III brand new in 1997, I made the mistake of buying a Sunfire, UGGH!! after 6 months of that Sunfire I drove it into the VW lot and told them "Get me outta this Sunfire tonight, and I'll drive away in a Jetta!" They did! So I Did!! LOL
The car remained COMPLETELY Stock for 9 years! I then deployed to Iraq and when I returned, decided to give my car a 10 year Birthday present!! The car has been VERY reliable since I bought it, engine-wise, But transmission, thats a different story. Its a 5 speed, but being the original owner the drivetrain was covered for 10 years or 100k! Boy did that come in handy! This car has had 5 Transmissions in it!! The last at 98,520 miles! lol Yes I drive it hard.
