Anyone know anything about Jettas?

[gstq]

Eh,

I won't be buying a car until mid-2007, however I'm still currently browsing. A buddy offered me his 1992 Jetta in MINT condition (interior and exterior), with the exception of a tiny bit of rust under the rear passenger side door. He said he'd give it to me for $1,500 (CAD), which to me seems like a good price, though I don't know much about cars. Again, the interior is like-new, and the exterior the same with the exception of that bit of rust. It runs good and has no problems. The engine (rebuilt) has about 40,000KM on it.

Remember, I won't be buying it until mid-2007, and it is staying garaged until then. He occasionally takes it out for a drive, though.

old jettas are pretty nice, they are cheap to work on and are for the most part reliable, also what motor is in it

[gstq]

The engine is a 1.8L I4 8v Digifant II.

At a guess on that pic...it's an 8V.

Its a nice car. I love the MK2 Jettas.
If the car wasnt in Toronto, id buy it.

But still.. Will it be a good buy in mid-2007?

[ricosuave]

That car is clean. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Very good shape by those pics. Great starter/project car.

I would buy that thing in a heartbeat. My buddy had one for something like 10 years, he just had to put her down and we drove the shit out of it. I dont know much on the performance end but if you want a good car get it. You could suck up the $1500 somewhere and park it at your house, do work on it, and by the time mid-2007 comes, you'll have a pimp ride.

Think of what you could buy for it with all the money saved :eek: :eek:

Older VWs are ok but now VW has the worst reliability of any manufacturer...even shitty ones like Kia and Hyundai.
