dont have one....yet
Hi, new here. I am looking at buying a 2000 VW Jetta GLS TDI.
Here is is(prices are in CDN dollars, and it in Km, not miles) <font color="red">Link </font>

What do you guys think of it? Any advice would be appreciated, I got a carfax done on it, checks out, no accidents, ect. Timing belt was changed at 105 000km.
It had regular service done on it at a VW dealer, and regular oil changes done on it, dont know what kind, but i figure it was the proper type because it was done at a dealer.

Price is a bit low for Toronto... Could it be a Quebec car? (they tend to depreciate a bit faster)... I love it when they don't tell you if it's a manual or automatic transmission...

You say you figure that the maintenance was "the proper type because it was done at a dealer"... Not a good idea to trust the dealer so completely... while I'm sure there are good ones out there, most of them leave a bit to be desired, especially when dealing with a TDI...

As I said, the price, for Toronto is low... find out where the Timing Belt was done, and we could give you a better opinion...

Good luck,

Yuri.

Carfax never hurts, but don't expect much for canadian cars. You might see some strange things, but you'll have to read through the lines. I got a car with a single owner, but carfax showed 5 registrations. If I took a closer look, every time the person renewed their sticker, carfax showed it as a new registration. Other than that, check the link eschady provided.
