REBUILT title, was side swiped, doors replaced, rear fender and lower rocker still dented, 2 estimates both around $2k
the damage was limited to the doors, rear fender/bumper and rocker panel, floor pan not damaged - drives perfectly straight, no tire wear
priced below market because of damage - everything works
have had it over a year, selling because we bought another Jetta with Automatic transmission
please email your phone number and best time to call - will respond quickly to emails
Local sales, please, don't make an offer until you drive it.
This has been a great little car for us, but the manual transmission has been a problem for me because of an army injury...
put up with it for a year because it's such a great car... finally found a nice sedan with an automatic... however, the automatics
have issues, and we're having issues with the automatic trans... the 5 speed in this Wagon is the way to go if you can drive a stick... better mileage, more
power and control and less headaches...
