Follow up on my first post. She bought a loaded 96 Passat GLX VR6 with
67,000miles for $6,000.

Now I have no clue about anything on this car, so I have a few ?s.
1. the check engine light is on and wont go off
2. outside pasenger door handle wont open the door
3. passenger inner cv boot is cracked (is the shaft as easy to replace
as a rocco?)
4. where the hell is the oil filter?

We like this car much better than her old one (98 Nissan 200SX)

I don't plan on getting rid of my gti until death do us part. It's a good DD, but at the same time there was alot of newer technology in the 00-02's which vw just threw in without thinking.

Koabi recently got a late 90s TDI and seems very happy with it. Personally, I would get a mk3 over a mk4 because they have less issues and don't look so piggy. Depending on your diesel fuel prices, a TDI could make you really happy when it comes to fuel costs.
