New here..
Volvo dealer has a 2002 Jetta GLS 5sp TDI with 133k on it. It was a trade-in. Comes with half used summer tires and half used winters. Suspension clunks some(struts likely?), clutch peddle felt "gritty" like an old cable clutch. Engine belts were making noise(sqeaks). There were a couple of scrapes here and there. It did drive nice, save for the struts. Had smooth power and tranny was good.
The bad...no service records at all. I could try and contact the original owner...but not sure I will get far with that. No idea about what oil used, timing belt, etch.. They offered to let me bring it to VW for a check up.
They are askin 10,900. I'm sure they prolly have not more than $6-7k in it as a trade.
But with no maint records....what can one offer? $7500? $8500?
Thanks,
Chris
