If you can do it without selling the 16v, as
previously said, go for it.  I was just in a similar
dilemma.  I bought my 16v nearly 6 yrs ago for $4400,
and have since put in just about $22,000 in
maintainence, upgrades, 4 tranny's (hehe).  To sell it
for even $5000 (its an 87) would be stupid.  It runs
great, and is such a fun car to drive.  Anyway, last
Janruary I had started the lease on a 01 Jetta, but am
now signing the lease over to my father's girlfriend
(she loves the car, and I can't stand automatic).  I
just ordered an A4 1.8tq from a local dealer and
expect delievery in late August.  But, I will never
ever sell my 16v...
