"Best used vehicle ever purchased"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Head gasket went after 150,000 miles.

Transmission failed at 180,000 miles.

Muffler fell off.

Locks did not work when acquired.

General comments?

This car was always reliable. I never worried about it starting when I had to drive it anywhere.

The Jetta has good gas mileage. I got approximately 30 miles per gallon on the highway or 25 miles per gallon.

The car handled surprising well. It saved me from at least two different accidents.

I recommend this car to a teenager looking for their first used car. It is cheap and handles great. It's lots of fun.

Hey, what's up? my name is Ryen Bartley and I own a 85 Jetta. where would you find cheap fuel pumps (if you can anymore) for my car? it needs a new in-tank pump, so I can trade it for a small pickup. but with all these goods reviews, I'm second thinking the small pickup. so if you can help me with prices please do. festis_07@msn.com.
