Seats are starting to get worn, but it's an 11 year old car.
I have put nearly 2k over what the car is worth in repairs. The person who had to before me did not take care of it.
I love this car.
Timing belt, tensioner, pulley, tires, ALL new brake system, fuel filters, air intakes, throttle body, control arms, drive axles, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, both oxygen sensors, mass air sensor, replacement muffler, bellows kits on both sides, A/C compressor, engine mounts, transmission mount, turn signal switch, radiator fan assembly, all four struts on each tire.
The car will run forever mawahahaha! I was fine with all the replacements - I did all of them willing and before the parts wore out. I'm very protective of the car.
Just short of the engine and the transmission the whole car is brand new... now let's keep our fingers crossed!
This car handles very nice!
It's roomy and pretty comfortable. I want to get the seats redone in leather eventually... just saving money for that engine and transmission so I can be ready whenever that happens.
The car is just awesome.
I am with you! Mine is amazing! I bought my 1998 Jetta Wolfsburg in 1998 brand new, and it is going strong with 144,000 miles on it. I have to change the ignition switch this week with some help from a friend.
I am so glad I chose what I did 11 years ago. I think about it every time I see someone pushing their brand new lemon down the street. My car might not be very pretty anymore, but it runs like a champ. I am considering a paint job and new leather seats and keeping it another 11 years.
