I am looking at getting a 98 Jetta GL with 99k miles on it. The owner says there are zero issues and is "mechanically sound and good to go for the next few years". He is asking 2800 or best offer.
I am trying to research this car and all I see are people talking about all the problems they are having. I am capable of basic repairs (water pump, timing belt, spark plugs, exhaust change etc..) but what about the electronic issues? Ecm? I read about issues in the rain?
If I buy the car what are things to look out for? Things to do to prevent certain problems?
I've always been a Jeep person so I'm new to the car/Jetta scene.
Thank you.
