volkswagon- whats better year or mileage?

my boyfriend is looking into a diesel volkswagon jetta. we went to the dealer today and one car is a 2000 with 75,000 miles and the other is a 2004 and has 150,000 miles. they both cost the same. the dealer says the new car with more miles is better because germans make such great cars... said he has seen jettas go up to 600,000 miles

mainly mileage for any car i would say...it could be a old car but if it had low miles then that can make all the difference between a sell or not. for your boyfriend i would choose the 2000 with 75000 miles but thats just me

Mileage. It doesn't matter how old the car is, what matters is how far it has traveled and if the engine or any other major parts have been replaced.

i say gets the 2000 with low mileage. vw are good cars but they start having so many problems when the mileage go beyond 130000 miles.

i say he should look around and see if he can get a 2004 jetta that has less than 80000 miles. tell him to get the tdi edition

roy

Sure! The car, May? go to 600K, But not easilly.
No passenger car will be a great car beyond 300K
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mileage is almost always the way to go, The less the better, unless the car has been mistreated.
The sales person is trying to pressure you into a specific car because he gets better comission. What other reason would he have to care what car you buy? All the cars need to go eventually, He just wants to sell you that one for TWO reasons,
First, More money NOW,
second, Another sales guy may sell the other car leaving another high com. car for him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salesmen are NOT YOUR FRIENDS, They are there to move cars, It's your JOB to get a good car at a good price.

Try autos.msn.com. They have some rating on the years and models.

Just_curious

id suggest to get the car with the less millage. it will last ya longer and its still fairly new.

Mileage, because you can have an old car that wasn't driven a lot, or a new car(in your case) which was indeed driven a lot.

try autotrader classics you can sell and find classic cars

kels the beast

What direction do you need?

Does it run? Is it drivable? Can someone buy it today and drive it home safely? Does it look good? Do you have the title on hand?

A safe, good running car is always sellable. Clean it up nice, take some good pics and advertise it on Craigslist, e-bay, autotrader.com. Check out www.thesamba.com for VW ads.

uhhh i would say give it to me but if you dont want to then thats ok =[

THAT SHOULD NOT BE TOO HIGH OF MILES!!! THAT IS ABOUT AVERAGE, WHICH IS 12K-15K A YEAR :>) SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY GOOD PRICE!! I WOULD CHECK THE KELLY BLUE BOOK JUST TO BE EXTRA SURE!!!! I SAY BUY IT!!!! AND THEY GET VERY DECENT MPG!!!!!!

Thats a tricky mileage for a Volkswagen. A major service was due at 80k and the timing belt it due at 90k-95k. At least 1500 dollars of maintanance, if you used factory parts. Which I suggest. Have they been done? Done the right way, I should say.

It was probably the reason the previous owner got rid of the car...

vw passat firing on three chambers?

hi i have a vw passat 2003 tdi high mileage it has lost power and seems to me like its firing on 3 chambers cant see any oil and water mixing although i did have to top the oil up the other day i do have some white smoke on cold start up but goes after about 30 seconds possible causes???????? thanks

Asked by: SANDY @ 2009-06-23 13:08:41

Answers ::
White smoke would suggest that coolant is entering the combustion chambers, so could be a head gasket problem. It really needs further investigation.

J G

plugs , be wirering cracked rings hell there are so many things but start with the simple things first.

henry de burgh

Sounds like coolant going into cylinders, could be head gasket ?

DAVID C

head gasket or oil seal rings on the piston take the plug out and see if its wet with water or oil if water then its the gasket if oil then its the rings or valve stem oil seals

If that car in the pic is a 1974 VW I will walk backwards to Bourke.
Are you sure you put the right pic in your question?

skytrain18

don't think that pic is the car you are talking about never seen a 1974 VW that looked like that

Dale (aka drc40m)

its not a vw. if it is a vw its a kit car on a vw chassis, the only way to know is to look at it from the inside

Does a +25 BHP MOD chip for a VW Fox actually work or is it a hoax?

I have a VW Fox and was on ebay and saw this MOD chip which says it can increase the torque and power of the car. Is this true and if it is what kind of results will it have in the end and what are the dangers of using it? Thanks.

You do not get 25HP for that price.

All it does actually is overfuel the engine. It will knacker the engine eventually.
