(Semi-OT) Help me choose a new car

[mvanamburgh@charter.net (Mike VanAmburgh)]

I apologize for the late reply.  I've now able to squint at the computer
screen after my laser surgery.  :-)  Anyhoo, you sure on the year for
that Jetta?  If it has BBS wheels on it, I'm thinking it might be a
90-92?  Are they 15"?  If this is the case, it would have the 2.0 16V,
making the $2500 a great deal.  If I'm not mistaken, the 88 GLI came
with teardrop rims.  Jettas are great for passengers and they have huge
trunks.  

Just a thought...

Mike
