    1996 Jetta GL
    5spd manual
    manual windows
    WORKING A/C!
    245,700 miles

    I bought this from my friend last fall, and put some miles on it. Didn't even know the a/c worked until trying it mid-summer. I would be keeping it but I was just handed down another car and don't really need three running cars for one driver.

    I agreed with my friend to give him back some of the parts he put in so that's why it's missing moldings and a shift knob right now. I just drove 600 miles round trip to NY and it performed great.

    Done within the past year:
    new battery
    new ign coil
    newish jom coilovers
    new tbelt
    new radiator
    newish plugs cap and rotor
    new vacuum lines
    new rear wheel bearings
    new ebrake cables
    new power steering pump
    new rear muffler
    control arm bushings
    upper strut mounts/bearings

    "upgrades"
    tt short shift kit
    oem glovebox added
    aux jack installed (needs one wire re-soldered)
    oem smoked tail lights

    Bad:
    cat/exhaust heatshield rattle haven't investigated
    2nd gear grind if shifted too quick
    small oil leak at pan gasket
    RUST
    front lift points are rough, cant fit a scissor jack on em
    driver seat bolster is shot
    airbag light on
    check engine light on (did just pass ct emissions)
    third brake light is taped in (wrong one - had to replace rear window last fall)
    needs tires
