Which VW Jetta should i look at?

I have found 2 that I really like but don't know much about them. It would be my first car.

2002 Jetta TDi 170,000 miles on it

Their both about the same price, and have about similar fuel economy numbers. Go for the 1999. Fewer miles means less repairs will be needed, and gasoline is still cheaper than diesel.

99 without a doubt

it has half the mileage

Both are really nice, exceptional cars. I would go for the 2002 model, but either one, they're great cars. Test drive them both, that way, you will know in your gut which one you prefer. Happy driving!

Angel

The prices are the same because the dealer knows that the diesel engines last much longer than the gasoline ones. A diesel engine with high mileage is not the same as a gasoline engine with that same mileage.
Also the diesel one being much newer, means that most of those miles are most likely highway.

It's really up to you if you want to deal with the diesel gas prices fluxuating and the more noise the engine creates. You can always turn it into a bio-diesel engine! :)

Let me answer this for you. First off, I own a 2003 Jetta TDI myself, 149,000 miles on it, and let me say this: It's never given me a day of trouble. Diesels are reliable, reliable cars. They get 300,000 miles on an engine minimum. I've even used biodiesel in my car when diesel prices topped 5 bucks a gallon. Even though diesel is more expensive than gas for the moment, the fact of the matter is it's so reliable and gets such good milage, It simply wouldn't be cost effective not to get one. Plus, TDI means Turbo Direct Injection. Diesels always come with Turbos. It's powerful, fast, and I can even get 50 mpg on the highway if I use cruise control. I love it. I wouldn't get any other car. It does 0-60 like nothing.

Dude I already gave you an answer on your is this too many miles on a TDI. Plus what the other guys are not telling you is that the projected mileage that they give you is not accurate on the TDI. It will get close to 50 mpg on the hwy and mid 40's in the city. I drove my mother's TDI 01' from Detroit to Myrtle beach on a tank and a half of diesel. I have made the same trip in my VR6 and had to fill up three times and rolled into the beach on fumes. diesel may go up to 5 bucks a gallon but with the mileage it would be like paying $2.50 a gallon because the mileage is like double. Trust me you are a younger guy and you like your money staying were it belongs.....in your pocket. get the TDI. even if it has some repairs you will do better in the long run. Plus the 2.0 in the reg gas model is a dog with only 115 hp. The TDI only has 100hp but has torque out the butt. It is much faster.

What are my chances of finding a roadworthy vintage volkswagen bug?

I know a good deal about them and they sound ideal for my circumstances except for one tiny thing.I can't find them anywhere.

I'm in MA and they all seem to be on the other side of the country. I don't really want to pay a $hitload of money for some super customized showpiece,which are the only ones I can find around here.

There are thousands of them, try the newspapers all of them (or pretty close) have websites, there are a lot of bugs in the midwest as rust is not so much of an issue. The price of a good bug has sky rocketed in the last 15 years but there are PLENTY out there, forget the bug magazines 'cause that is where all the showpieces are for sale but try some enthusiast websites they usually have for sale tabs.

You may be looking in the wrong place. Hemmings has a number of them listed in New England and upstate New York.

Everybody is hanging onto them now for they now are collector items(everybody is hoping to turn a buck) Go for the station wagen or type3 basically the same motor. Less wanted but are more stable on the road, and far more useful(you can sleep in the back in a pinch)

if its a GTI you know that somone has driven him alot,
but for that price i would say its definetly worth of it

Slumdog

no a slight engine knock could be something serious, however it looks like the guy took good care of it, you can take a chance some vws are reliable and then some are lemons as long as the trans shifts smooth check the fluids, oil change records, air filter, to see if the guy kept regular maintenance on it. push down on the all four corners of the car not at once though... to check the suspension if it doesn't bounce back up and down the suspension is good.

gmcfan101

I consider myself pretty handy with a wrench. The things you mention about the car . I.E. all of the items replaced lead me to believe that the original owner drove the car very aggressively. All the items mentioned probably resulted from extreme starting and stopping, and probably cost a lot of money to replace.

Before forking over your hard earned cash. check the following ...1. check the oil is it clean or dark brown . If it is dark brown and has a gritty feel to the touch? If it does then the metal in the oil is the result of the knocking. 2. Check the tranny fluid is it red ? If it is dark brown smell it . if it smells burnt then you've got tranny problems coming up.

I would say since the motor mount was replaced and the grille is missing a badge that the car was in a wreck or some kids broke the badge off to wear around there neck.

If you know the people and you trust them and you have to have a car now. I would offer them $3900 they will counter with 4 and you can pay your license and tags with the extra money .

If you have time to look around then go on ebay motors and look at a bunch of different cars. For that kind of money all you have to do is shop. anything you find you can ask the seller a lot of questions. and a certified mechanic will go look at the car for $100 before you buy it.

Last year I bought a 1994 chrysler lebaron convertible with 79k on it for $1,500. on ebay motors, and flew 1800 miles to pick it up and then drove it home. the car was in absolutely beautiful condition. I will have to put tires on it this spring, but it has 96k on it now and including the flight and expenses I only have $2,500 invested . Just depends on how much time you have to shop.

My last comment if you are emoitionally attached to the car take it out on the highway run it up to a hundred and see how it feels . If it shakes or rattles the repairs are not right. Pay a mechanic or have a friend look at it. My advice any car thats older then 6 years and has more then 80k on it definetly needs repair. to save money buy an american car, parts are so much cheaper as much as 70% cheaper. I've owned 2 vw's a scricco and a beetle. American cars are built as good as any foriegn car and the parts are unbelievably cheaper. A good paint job will cost any where from 500 to a 1000 and you will get tired of the black real quick. Black is very hard to keep clean. ! Good luck. I can't imagine a timing belt going bad before 100k unless the car was in an accident. a new engine anywhere from 3500 to 5500 to replace about 1k for a timing belt. do the water pump and the powersteering belt all at the same time.

Yeah its a good price for dat car. My bro bought a 2002 Gti mkv for 10g and it had like 100k on it.

SukMiiDick!

92k VR6 - not bad milage, the tick may be from running hard or the valves need to be adjusted after the cam was put in

New 5 speed transmission installed - probably blew the other one up racing

SACHS clutch installed - might as well change it when the tranny is out - go bigger for racing

2 new axles - might have ripped the old ones apart. went bigger for racing

2 " tie rods - they go bad

2 " ball joints - they go bad too

Lowered Suspension - car looks good. hard ride, but good for racing

New strut bushings & bearings - they were out and was probably replaced when the car was lowered

EBC slotted rotors - they go bad, but these are for more stopping power when racing

New front brake - should change them when you put on new rotors

New front motor mount - they can go bad, but it was probably ripped apart racing

Lower front control arm bush -
Badgeless grille - it's the look

Rear strut bar - better for cornering when racing

4 wheel alignment - its needed about once a year anyway

GSR 256 Cams - more HP for racing

Flat black paint finish - it's the look, maybe in an accident, had a bunch of rust repair done

Timing Belt was claimed to be replaced by the previous previous owner - should be change at around 80 tho anyway

Do you see a pattern? The car was run hard and put away wet. Someone payed alot of money to keep it on the road. That car would only get about $2000 here were I am at, only because of the vr6.

is a VW Touareg a good car?

It's a good choice. Volkswagen offers three different engines for the Touareg. First up is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 276 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. On V8 models, a 4.2-liter V8 delivers 350 hp and 324 lb-ft of torque. The range-topping Touareg V10 TDI has a diesel-fueled, turbocharged V10 displacing 5.0 liters. It's rated at 310 hp and a stout 553 lb-ft of torque. Each engine is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The three different engines serve as the basis for the three Touareg trims, with the V6 as the base model, the V8 as the mid level choice and finally the V10 as you move up the ladder in both price and content. The 4XMotion permanent four-wheel drive is standard and low-range gearing complements the optional height-adjustable air suspension. When combined with the optional locking differential and tough uni body structure, the Volkswagen Touareg has the ability to go places off-road that few other midsized SUVs should dare consider.

Getting to less treacherous destinations such as the mall, soccer practice or a night at the ballet are made enjoyable by the Touareg's smooth on-road ride and a luxurious interior that includes standard and available features such as leather seats with memory, multizone climate control, navigation, premium audio entertainment and adaptive xenon headlights.

If you buy 2006 and newer they have worked out the kinks. The 2004 and 2005 especially the the V6's have transmission problems. I would advise you to get a tiguan instead. The mileage on the toureg is awful and if you 17 then I expect that you do not have a heck of a lot of money. The tiguan will get 25 highway verses the V6 toureg at 20 hwy. The V8 will only get 17, and that is pushing it. The TDI will get 22 maybe 23 highway but you will have to drop about 40 grand to get a used one. I considered buying one and got an A4 instead. Also since your 17 check about whether you can get insurance. You may denied because of age.

The Mrs. has one. 2005 V6. The $1500 brakes turn me off. They are VERY expensive to fix. It's the only car we own that goes back to the dealer. (I am an ASE Certified Master Auto Tech, and have been for 15 years.) She loves it, so we keep it. I'd like to drop it out of a C-130. It does drive nicely. You can't, unless you're a 17 year old internet gazillionaire, afford it. Buy a Corolla.

You just need a normal license, and you can by one at any hippy convention

PhonicsRule

An ordinary car licence is all you need.
They have been produced for many years and there are loads of variants and models with too many features to list here.
They tend to be a bit overpriced due to cult status with some people. If it is not specially a VW you want others of a similar age will be cheaper.
They tend to be a bit underpowered and slow.
For what they cost you could probably go on a few good bed and breakfast holidays and have someone else do the washing up!

fantastic, go on this holiday, even if you have to sell your body!

Maybe you ought to test run it first by camping in the back yard to see if you are suited to this lifestyle for a couple of days. If you are, then you are good to go. I have covered most of N.A this way. Definitely beats costly hotel rooms being parked beside a lake or river or scenic view or ski hill. It is that or fitting out an old Greyhound Bus(which is a bit more pricier).

Do it while you are young and pliable and fart volumes are low.

We used to spend every 4th of july on Mt Shasta at Sand Flat. It was fantastic. Only interruption was a C-5A cargo plane who tried to stick a wing in the mountain.

Before that took an old 67 pop top to Florida keys and spent a stormy night opposite a "spit" full of tents. After a warm and cozy night we got up and the tents were all blown down. We took them coffee and got grilled like tuna over "the VW van and how was it?" .

Yep. Its the best holidays ever. And don't plan it. Just turn up.

Revokes memories of laying on my back in the pouring rain smashing the starter motor with a hammer whilst the van was stuck in the mud. Getting a tractor to pull us out.......

Or do a weekend at a VW show??
