    Re: I had to share my excitement! I got my 3rd Jetta today!

    That's definitely true, but IMO it's totally worth it. The two major things I've done to my [old] Jetta that is 11 years old with 162,000 miles was AC and coil packs/spark plugs. Both very expensive, and I wouldn't have done the AC, but my mom wanted it done since they were buying it, so she paid for it. That car still has the same engine, same transmission, same clutch, same turbo. It has no rust on the body, I live in Iowa with lots of salt on the road, and I didn't drive it nicely...it has a turbo what can I say Oh, and the whole front end was creamed by an old man a couple years ago causing 4k in damage! I'll defend VW any day!
