Re: The VW Jetta GLX Mailing List Digest V4 #94
I'm about to buy an almost new Jetta VR6 and I was wondering what you all
thought the best year was to get. I hear that little things like window
motors and trunk poppers break and I wanted to find out what you think the
best year between '95-'99 is.
Thanks,
Mackey
