I'm looking for a project. I don't want anything old.
I found an '05 MkV Jetta with a little over 100k miles on it in Florida.
It looks to be a base with an auto. Which is the tip, so it's not a huge deal to me.
The car is $6,991. I'm thinking I can get them to $6,500 or maybe even $6,000, seeing as it's a Nissan dealer. They probably don't have much in it.
How strong are the 2.5's as they rack up mileage? I know some of this depends on maintenance, but in general, how do they fair?
I know they have a timing chain, so that's not a huge worry, either.
If I do pick it up, I'll probably do Mk6 GTI suspension and maybe some Classix and a nice exhaust. Fun little beater/could track it if I wanted to.
Thoughts?
