Re: GLX vs. GT vs. GLS vs. GL vs....

[Chuck Simpson <csimpson@zeltech.com>]

Yup...  and what makes me really angry is the fact that the VW
cars have some stupid "Adjusted Market Value" which is around
$850 and another add-on for "Detailing/Delivery/etc" which is
around $450.  The prices of cars are just ridiculous around
here.  Do you guys think paying $24,000 is too much for a '97
Jetta GLX?  I have decided that I'm going to buy a Jetta GLX
and not a Trek... but I just might end up buying a used one
which is a bit more affordable for me.  I came so close to
buying a '95 Jetta GLX (White, no leather) for $15,700... but
the deal fell through... and I missed out...  :(

If anyone knows anyone selling a GLX between DC and North Carolina...
please let me know.  I'm specifically looking for either Black or
White... with Tan interior (leather or no leather).
