Not mine, not sure if a good deal or not

$300, new is probably around $450 or $500. They seem to be hard to nail down a price on. I think it's an okay deal, if you're into leather seats. Not my cuppa joe.

 

So a meh price for someone who wants used leather covers for a turd gen. Not for me

 

Looking for a longbed quicksand shell if anyone comes across one

 

lifted, turbo, AWD Jetta wagon

3rd gen quicksand long bed Edit some others for others:

3rd gen commercial ARE DCU cap for long bed, with full rear door (remove tailgate), windoors on one side and toolbox/door on other side. I would be on this if it was for a DCSB. $1200 2nd gen snug top commercial - $400

 

Dang thanks for looking out, considering that one but prefer the carpet headliner and windoor(s)

 

Any Soft-Toppers out there for a 2nd gen Short bed?

 

Thanks man! I think 14hrs one-way is wayyy too far for me though. Would be dumb not to just buy new at that point but I appreciate it!

Never thought Id see those words together in a sentence...

 

Those things are pretty quick stock, can’t imagine nearly double the HP and Torque. The AWD system is actually very capable off-road too, my buddies dad pulled his Tacoma back onto a backroad after he slid off in the snow a few years back in his Alltrack, before I bought the truck from him. Too bad it’s not a 6 speed though

 

I rented a car in Germany one time and it happened to be a Jetta station wagon turbo diesel with a manual transmission. I was quite surprised how fun it was to drive on the autobahn and how steady the suspension was at 100 mph. The Germans know how to engineer cars, they're just expensive AF to repair.

 

Those VAG turbo-diesels really are great, emission cheating aside. I rode in a diesel Audi A4 in Germany when I was in high school. Was pleasantly surprised when we were plugging along at 150mph+ on the autobahn.

 

You can buy diesel manual wagons here ya know... German cars just need maintenance done on schedule and most of those expensive repairs won’t exist. That’s the price you pay for cars designed to be comfortable at home on the autobahn like you said. Hell, even the rear beam suspension on my Golf handles incredibly well when it shouldn’t.

Alltracks are perfect dd’s and when I need to replace my TDI it’s on the short list

 

I’ve owned a few VW. I really like the way they handle and how solidly built they feel. Also, I’ve tested the crash safety and luckily it’s pretty good. But they have a lot of weird electrical gremlins and at about 130k they just start failing apart.
