RE: GLX price

[Marc Gallagher <mgallagher@Langan.com>]

I bought my "mint" 97 with 32,000 in December for 16,900 from a non-VW
dealer (ie not "certified", no extended warranty).  Mine has cold weather
package, no CD, no mods.  But I was not in a strong negotiating position (I
needed a car within a week and wanted a nice, fun, quick car).  The price
history of the car was 18,495 for a month (way overpriced), 17,995 for
another month (still overpriced), and 17,595 for a week when I got to it.  i
haggled a bit down to 16,900 and had them throw in a few items to pass
inspection (remove tinting, pay for part of e-brake cable replacement).  May
have gotten more off but needed the car ASAP so I was stuck.  Hope this
helps.

 What would you guys say is a reasonable price for a 97 Jetta GLX with
40,000 
miles?  The car is in "mint" condition.  The car looks and drives like it is

brand new.  I would like to get a newer Jetta but I need to sell this one 
first.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time,
