I recently gave in as well. I needed a dependable car that was good on gas for my job. So I bought a 02 Civic. I had problem after problem after problem with it. So, finally, I worked out a deal with the used lot where I bought it to trade it in for another car. And wouldn't you know, there was a black 02 Jetta GLS 1.8T sitting there. Loaded.....with heated seats and everything. After a day of thinking it over I couldn't help myself. I picked it up last Friday. And my payment only went up 12 bucks a month (they had it on their lot for too long and were about to take it to auction, so they cut me a deal for $14,000).
I still have my GLI which I had planned on keeping and doing some work on in the spring.....but plans might have changed. I might be moving and won't have room to keep two cars. So, I am again looking to sell my 90 2.0 GLI (65k miles if anyone is interested). I could never bring myself to sell it but now it looks like I might have to. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chad Rebuck Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 11:31 AM To: Brian Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] switching to the dark side I swear I'll never buy another vw again too. But I can't see parting with my 16v quite yet. I bought the car almost 3 years ago and have really run it very hard at the track many, many times, on the street sometimes, etc. Highways going 110+ and it has yet to give me any problems. What really made up my mind about not buying another vw is my 92 corrado slc that consitantly broke down.
