honestly what is the big stink about the DSG cars?? im looking at 2 06's and both of them are very nice but have the auto in them..is it a deal breaker if your not planning to make substantial power with them?

I wouldn't have trouble paying that if the electrical side seems ok

I have 245k on mine, it's an 01. I have had no electrical problems, car has never let me sit anywhere. Mine is only a GL (power locks are the only option, and I believe they are standard anyhow), I've had people make me random $5k offers for it. I think you're safe paying $6k for a nicer car with less miles, just make sure the timing belt job was done completely like you stated.

update, car is actually been a texas car its whole life ( no a spec of rust ). issues are as follows - Heater does not work the best, but AC works flawless
? check engine light is on due to a faulty glow plug relay but dealer replaced both relays in the harness and CEL still stays on, they think its the harness itself? window motor regulators make noises when window gets close to down on the front driver and passenger windows but noise stops when switch is returned to neutral position and windows all operate good though?? has a cracked windshield.. other than a few scratches and 2 very small dings the present dealer salesman has put 4k + miles on it driving all over texas and has had zero issues..clear title. I get that its 14 years old and I don't expect it to be perfect but all ive heard about these little buggers is yes they get fantastic MPG however a lot of them have electrical gremlins and I wont lie the electrical gremlins scare me a tad in these cars. bottom dollar is $4400..worth it still? ill post the videos he sent me in a bit. thanks again for everyones help

Sounds like it's worth it. GP harness is available from idparts.com and they are a known failure no big deal. May just need window motors or tracks cleaned


Sent from my flashscan v2
 
I'd love to buy this car. That's exactly what I want. If it were black I'd be on the phone!
 
Ya pretty much I like the red.. But I wanted black.. I may just buy it anyways put a grand into it and drive it.

Did someone put aftermarket speakers in the from doors, if so and they didn't space them out then the track system is rubbing the magnet when it goes by the back of the speaker.

I have owned a gas jetta since 2002, never once have I had an electrical issue, I have had my second one for almost two years now and it hasn't had any electrical issues either.
