Ok, so this might seem a little random, but my hubby called me this morning and put a 2007 VW Jetta on hold for us/me at the dealership he works for (he does all of their IT) he wants me to check it out. It's $3,498 with just under 100k miles.
Does anyone here have experience with VW??

I had a 97 Jetta for a few years and loved it.


The only issue I had was radiator which I hear is common, but maybe not with newer models.

all of a sudden can't get a tax engine. at the same time they added to the batch I was working on. I wonder if some throttling can be explained by hits being added as well as by turkers hamming.

Depends on how many owners ... but 10k miles/yr is great!

Yeah, these days it's only good for another 100,000 Oh, it's a volkswagon. That German "folks" car

Only 1 owner, and they had it for ten years, so I guess that's a pretty good sign

 

[Deleted member 526]

still can't get any tax engines because of throttling

 

[hockeyfan87]

I'd be doing awesome today if the Tax Engine hits weren't being a pain.

No. Probably, most lkely, not.

Although it's a bit difficult, I've been watching Ken Burns "The Vietnam War." Listened to interviews with some of the grunts (infantrymen) talking about their experiences over there. One described how he was terrified every minute of every day for the year he was over there: Will my next step, her wondered, lose a leg--or worse--to an anti-personnel mine? Will a Viet Cong pop up on the trail ahead and blow ... my head off? Will the guy next to me--and now a close friend--suddenly drop to the ground like a rock because he's been shot through the head? Gruesome stuff. And I couldn't but think Jesus Christ! or God in Hell, and such like. I don't think I could have been a grunt. No wonder so many of them returned to the states screwed up. VERY educational and well done series, however. @TaiGir's post about being "terrified" of taxes brought this to mind.

The dichotomy of first world problems is that they don't discount other peoples experiences, even if they do seem trivial in comparison.

great price. I have a prius and paid more for it - I think it also had something, something less than 100K. We've driven it up and down the coast 2x and now it's just over 116K. We've had her almost three years and she's never broken down.
