[PIAA310]

Well, today my brother and I got up around 7 to go to the dealership. My brother was going to buy the 2005 1/2 Jetta. Today was a crappy day though, it was rainning the whole day, after battling the sales person about the price of the car, which we worked out to be $23,000+ The car is a 2.5L Jetta, which Pack. 1...which includes 16" alloy wheels, moonroof, climatronics, letherette seats, 300 watt 10 speakers audio system, and much more stuff, couldn't get any pictures today, so ill post some up tommrow if i get the chance. Its in Black with black interior. Its a GREAT car and the tiptronic is a nice little feature! and also Sport mode is good!

Car looks Exactly like this from the outside

My mom wants to get one of those. Post a lot of pics so I can show her

Will do, if the weather is any good. Also I think the car is more made for the younger generation. But older people will still like it! The main problem is, that it is over priced at $23,000 you can even get a V6 Honda Accord. But if you have extra money to spend. this is a great car to buy.

She wants to give me her 1997 Jetta GLS, but I'll just drive the new car

Looks like a Toyota Corolla. the '04 Jetta looks much better.

The only gas engine is the 5 cylinder, correct? Is it too heavy now for the 1.8T? ConsumerGuide says the 5cyl. is pretty weak.

I lost interest in the Jetta when several folks I know and work with have had serious problems with them all around 40-50,000 miles. Computer, Dashboard failing, transmission, power seats, headlights, and overall build quality being poor. But several people have said the older ones run and run 100-300,000 miles easy.

BTW you did not pay the sticker price I hope.

hmm, looks like you guys have had bad experiences with VW, but we have two Jetta's now, and one we have had for about 2 years. Which has had no problems at all, yet. and no of course we didn't pay sticker price.

"Looks like a Toyota Corolla. the '04 Jetta looks much better."

Don't even compare this car with the Corolla It might have a similarity in the look, but it is TOTALLY different in every other aspect. Take a test drive and you'll see the feel the difference.

and no of course we didn't pay sticker price.

Sounded like it when you said $23,000+ GLS stickers for around that much.

Good luck with the new car and many happy and safe miles!!!!

GLS...They don't have those names for the trims now . They changed it for the 2005 1/2 Jetta. Now i think its, Value Edition, 2.5L and TDI which is coming out later on. $23,000 was the total, taxes, etc,etc.. included.

Good luck with the new car and many happy and safe miles!!!!

Thanks man.

[kcmh]

gotcha.

so where are the pics.
