Hello to all again. I'm the guy with the 94 Jetta GLS that posted a month or so ago with the manual tranny issue. Rather than fix the car and keep driving her I think I might look at something new to drive.
Dealer here in town (Luther Westside in Minneapolis) has a ton of VW Corporate cars that continually pour in. I'm looking at a 06 Jetta
2=2E0T with Package 1 and Sunroof about 5,000 mile.So .... anything special (early signs of problems) to look for beyond the norm? Turbo feel, climatronic, sunroof (I hope this is more reliable than my 94), etc. I've never owned a turbo. The 2.0T config was new in 2005 or 6 wasn't it? Whats the track record so far? Car entered the country here in January 2006, so any significant engineering changes from then thru 2007 on the powertrain? Its good and cold here now (7=B0) so no A/C check I suppose.
Does anyone know what VW Corporate Cars are? Employess, test fleet, loaners for Car Driver to flog? The CarFax's on these vehicles usual come back showing they were registered in either Michigan or New Jersey as corporate fleet vehicles. Owned for 6-10 months. Then sold at auction in either New Jersey or Pennsylvania. One car did come back showing it was a lemon buyback for a water leak. But all the others I checked (5-6 cars) were clean.
Sorry for being long winded. Thanks in advance.
Feel free to email me with comments on the dealer or other.
