Prices?

[SteveXs2]

As some of you may know, I don't actually own a car :( I want to buy a Jetta though, but I'll only be able to spend around $2,000 Canadian.

Any estimates on what I could get with that? I actually saw a 1987 Volvo with 427,000km on it for $2,000... but I'd rather get a Jetta.

You could probably get an A2 for that, fairly decent, probably will need some work.

If you are a gearhead, then you can find A2 jettas for like 100 bucks and fix them up. That's what I am doing with my coupe. Total, I am into it about 300 bucks total (USD, of course). The engine doesnt run that great, but it runs good enough to get it to the shop for my vr6 swap :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I'm not much of a gearhead, more interior/exterior stuff. Luckily my dad's good with that kind of stuff so I'll get him to teach me... if I can find one. I picked up a copy of the 'Bargain Hunter' today... usually there is a large abundance of Jettas in there... but not this time, not a single one. I'll have to wait a little longer I suppose.

Also, my neighbor works at a body shop that neighbors Ford so he gets some good discounts there and said he could hook me up, hopefully someone brings a Jetta down to Ford because if they did I'd be able to get it before they wash it and add on a good $2,000.

I got my Jetta for $150. It ran fine with the exception of a high idle. Of course, it was in need of some serious work, and by the time I am done I should be in about $500 in parts. Canadian of course.

I actually know of a guy selling a golf for $1000. I think it's a 1990, little to certify, GTA area. If you want good deals on cars, check out vwvortex.com and go to canadian clasifieds. There's some good stuff there, at least 10 pages worth.
