My name is Shane and im a big german car fan. ive always liked BMW's, but i have been partial to VW''s for the last few years.

i currently have a 1997 Jetta VR6 with a T3/T4 on it and some other stuff (for sale) and will be in the market for a 318/325 in the very near future so i figure why not join up eh? im on bimmer forums too.

Welcome to the forums! Nice Jetta! Goodluck on your hunt, post up some pictures of the 318 you might get.

the ti is definetly a fun car!

shaneco13 · 10-04-2006, 08:36 AM

well i have kind of a debacle, because i really really really need to sell my jetta cause i dont want to store it again and still be making payments on it. plus i never drive it so it sucks. i also have my daily beater....i cannot afford to have 3 cars so i need one or the other to go before i can actually make a purchase.

on a side note - the one i am gonna go check out is
1995 red with black leather
appearantly fully loaded
135k miles on it
supposedly in awsome condition.

from what i have read up on the 318's they are super solid. a friend of mine worked at motorworks and said all the ones that came in to get stuff done were in awsome shape. good solid motors as well as comfort + rwd.
granted they are not the fastest, but i am pretty much over the going fast thing. a turbocharged VR6 is plenty fast, not to mention i honestly dont drive it. ive put like 5k miles on it in the year and couple months i have had it.

my goal is to have the jetta sold so i can keep the daily and still be able to do modding, yet not have any stupid car payment.

shaneco13 · 10-04-2006, 07:26 PM

so doing some searching and ive come to this. i am gonna be going to check out this 1995 ti. things to look for are: headliner, window reg's, and the b-pillar. i will also be checking if they have maint. records/ history, and what has/ has not been replaced or needs to

m3outtanowhere · 10-04-2006, 09:06 PM

sorry, its quite a bit out of my price range. the one i am looking at is IN my price range.

ya ya ya, ive been working on selling the jetta since mid june. i have had 1 guy totally back out of a sale for no reason (just never called me to come pay for it). i just dont get why someone would not want a turbocharged VR6 for like 6k?? is it me or am i crazy! hell, whoever buys it can part the seats out alone for at LEAST $800!

you guys should tell all your friends about it and help a brother out. Hey redis you should join up on www.eurowerks.org unless you already have. a buddy of mine started the site and they are all sweet peeps. we have a ddrive we are going on the 15th. you should come!

Even though a car may have issues with a saggy headliner, or a bad window regulator, I wouldn't rule out buying a car with those problems. The headliner thing is just saggy fabric, so it's not really a big deal. $25 in new fabric and adhesive, plus a few hours will fix that.

If you haven't searched yet, a broken window regulator is a DIY job, without a doubt. But it will set you back about $110 for all the parts.
