Might be picking up a Jetta


Recommended Posts

I'm excited. It's a 2000 Jetta Sedan. Dark blue and bone stock. Will post pics when I get them. Getting it from my mechanic with a 6 month warranty. I'll find out Thursday. Wish me luck.

Good luck with it. If you're getting it from a mechanic, hopefully he's fixed all the problems that model had. 2000 - 2002 had notorious problems with the check engine light coming on and with them leaking oil. I know because I had not 1 but 2 2002 Jetta's and each one had a problem. One of my Jetta's was manufactured in Mexico and that one leaked oil like a mofo and the other Jetta was manufactured in Germany and that one the check engine light kept popping on. My uncle is a service rep at Jetta dealership and his shop couldn't fix either car for me. They even consulted with VW engineers and still couldn't fix them.

What engine does it have?? Auto or manual??

I used to have a 2003 Jetta Wolfsburg that i got dirt cheap as a daily driver, for up and back from work(when I was going 80+ miles each way). It had the 1.8t motor / tiptronic auto tranny in it and I never run into a single problem with it. Had surprisingly enough power for daily highway drives and after a couple minor mods can be a fairly quick car. I gave it to one of my cousins down here for his first car like a year ago(when it had 150k+) and it's still running no problems.
