Bean, you are gonna love this......

My friend bought a 1999 black and tan from town north a few months back. think he payed 8900 for it. it was in perfect shape, with only 40K miles on the clock.

he traded it in yesterday for a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta. ::Censor::

the worst part is that i know his girlfriend is in love with Jettas, she has wanted one for a long time. im absolutly sure she had a hand in it, but he said it was ALL his decision. :rolleyes: he is the definition if whipped, but i never thought hed traded his Miata for a lame jetta.

Let's hope the Jetta doesn't run into the electrical problems...

I'll lease a German car, but I'll never own one again.

Tell me you at least made a profit from selling der Diesel.

I think it's rather telling that three of the mods who previously owned VWs (TC, beano, and myself) all have rather negative things to say about their reliability. Heck, I owned my VW well over a decade ago, but the experience was negative enough that I don't think I'll ever own another.

WOW!!! I really was debating on a VW Jetta TDI back in Dec 2003 when I decided on the '04 Honda Civic HYBRID. I don't have too many good things to say about that Honda Either. I always heard that they were reliable. Why then did I have to replace a CVT transmission at 19,000 mile and had a slippping sensation at 36,000 when I decided to buy a '05 MSM.

I LOVE THE MSM!!!

Sorry Honda Boys.

Very true about the Jettas and their owners. I, thankfully, had a B5.

Thankfully no. Totally different vehicle. The B5 of then was the built on the same chassis as the Audi A6, only shortened. They shared the same V6 motor. In fact, you could've popped open my hood and you couldn't miss all the 4 rings underneath.

I had 3 VWs. The last one was a 1st gen Jetta. It was a POS and my last VW ever!

You're right. Were is the operative word...

I woulda sworn that the B5 was more of an A4 (Audi) beneath...

Won't say I *hate* VW AG, but I do think they're colossally stupid for stigmatizing otherwise fine cars with bottom-rung reliability -- turning many former owners into viral anti-marketing.
