From what I hear, the Jetta must be the most overrated car on the road. 2 year /24k mile warranty, at which time, expect the side windows to fail in showers of glass (three times), the ABS and/or airbag system to go out (twice each), and the ignition coils in some model years (2001s I think) are duds. The quantities are indicative of one colleagues cumulative experience in 3 three years.
Ahh, but I'd still love go get me into a 500SL.

That is a far cry from a Chysler. ronm
I'd settle for a 300M ;o)
Working in the auto parts industry, and doing alot of business with a Chrysler store, talking to the parts guys there convinced me not to buy a chrysler product....ever.
I think your very smart.
I'm currently driving a 1995 Neon and it sucks. Like a Geo Metro but with a bigger engine. Nasty little car.
Oh - why? $600 for a 1995 car due to depreciation and nobody wanting them at nearly any price was why.
He did mention Diamler in the post.
Your Sorento uses Coil over plug. A ignition coil and igniter with a short extension mounted on top of each spark plug. You won't need to replace any plug wires.
You can't go to Pep Boys for these wires. Go to a real auto parts store. They will have them. I bout them for my 2.5 V6 for $43. Silicone buy the way. The originals were not. Silicone rubber is a high temperature rubber. They should last a lifetime vs the originals.
You need to remove the plenum to replace the plugs and wires. Looks pretty inimidating but in fact wasn't too bad. Alow 1 full day to do the job. Save $300
We import from sia all the time. Figure 4 weeks by boat, 1week for customs. This does not include any fabrication time. I got 90K out of wires and plugs
