I used to have a 2003 Jetta sedan TDI I bought a new. It had a ton of problems. Dealer sucked (Carter in Ballard, WA). I loved the car, but it was unreliable. Kept it for 5 years then traded it in on a 2008 Toyota Tacoma. Drive that for 8 years then got a Chevy Duramax. I don't tow as much as I used to so a commuter car makes more sense. I bought this 2002 Golf off Craigslist for $1500. Let the fun begin!
It's in decent shape for its age. It's got some dents, scratches and other wear that you'd expect. The only significant problem is the engine is seized. There's a hole in the side of the block by the oil filter housing. Today I'm going to drain the fluids to prepare to pull the engine. I'll post more pics later.
