Thats an awesome first car... I have kind of wandered from the BMW's they just stopped popping up on CL. My wife told me to start looking at VWs again, came across this Jetta gli vr6 with the 6sd manual. Went out and drove it today, and man, thats a hell of a ride. I love the bimmers, but my wife likes the Jettas, and I dig em too so I think we might try to snatch this one up tomorrow. Sucks I cant find a bimmer, but I think this will fit as a commuter/3rd family car a little better than a bimmer coupe ha ha.

Its a little dirty but itll clean up nice. Just got out of the tranny shop on friday (he showed receipts) drove really nice, no ticks, squeaks, or thumps. couple small blemishes on the body but nothing noticable unless you know its there. should buff up nice.
