| Hi! I posted awhile back asking your opinions on a Cube. We decided to instead go for a used car under $5000.
One choice is a 2002 VW Jetta, manual transmission and 95000 miles. We've never owned a VW. Any opinions on old Jettas? We'll be taking it to our own mechanic tomorrow for a once over. The body looks good, and the Carfax report has nothing of concern. We currently own two Toyotas with over 100K each. Thanks,
|

| Has timing belt been changed? A worn clutch is not cheap. Ok car in my opinion. |

| Thanks for the reply, Joe. My husband took it to our mechanic who said, "You don't want this car." I'm not sure what was wrong, but I guess it wasn't so good under the hood. We revamped our criteria, and ended up buying a 2009 Hyundai Sonata for well under KBB. And our mechanic could only find a couple scratches underneath. It's now our newest car, 2nd best gas mileage, mostly driven by son and husband. I continue to drive the boring white Sienna...sigh. |
