Probably OT Rant on VW (was Re: [Rant] CAr shopping)
Please reconsider your decision to buy a Volkswagen.
I bought a Jetta brand new in 2001 and have regretted it ever since. It has spent way too much time in the shop for stuff that should never have happened in the first place (windows falling into the door, coilpacks, coolant sensors, etc).
I would think it would only be worse on a used VW and you would be even more PO'ed

| thanks for your suggestion.
BTW, the window fell on my dad's 2000 HONDA CRX, so it can happen to ANY car.
While I must say that if my present 1996 VW Jetta was my first experience with VW, I'd probably never buy another one, I'm giving them another chance.

theres a reason why people sell their cars, they're becoming a money pit and they want to cut their losses.
now i know Macca probably doesn't have the money to buy new but thats just my opinion buying a used car is just buying someone elses problems.

Avoid it if it's made in Mexico. A guy I work with will only buy European made VWs. There is a huge difference in the build quality.

clubs:   | New cars are more expensive but I love the fact that you can negotiate with three or four dealers via email and you rates that are comparable to the market value listed on Edmunds. |
