Looking for a new(er) ride
We just got my wife a new ride. Its a 2007 Jetta for which we paid about
20K. It is a Wolfsburg with power sunroof heated seats upgrade stereo, alloy
wheels, . The other things are most likely standard; pw pl, a/c. Its a 5 cyl
20 V with a 6 sp auto. It gets 25 to 30 mpg and is fairly nimble and fast.
If you can do without the options a Jetta can be had for 18K or so.
John
Its her first non-Detroit unit. She loves the handling and stopping.
