NJ area looking to buy mk6 or mk7

[reticulatingsplines]

Open to options, price range is around 10,000-15,000. Maybe more if the car is right.
DSG preferred. No color preference. Going to be daily driver so mods are cool but not required

Would prefer 85000 miles or less but again open to options. Service records preferred..Thank you!

I'd spring for MK7 if you can.

Or later model MK6 (2012 and up)

Good luck

this one is for sale on the forums now for a bit under your budget but just more miles. Put that left over 2k into timing chain and your first round of maintenance and you've got a car that only needs oil changes until 250k+. There are tons of examples of running VWs with 190k on a 2.0t for sale that still look and run fine.

These 2.0ts are pretty damn reliable in the long run; its the same small number of issues (PCV, chain tensioner, carbon build up, water pump failure) to keep an eye on with 50k or 150k miles

There are a few Jettas with early 2.0t's that made it past 220k+ and posted updates on forums

Thanks! that’s definitely what i’m leaning towards. if i can manage to find a decent mk6 it would be nice to save the $$, but tbh in the long run it might be better to just go for mk7

great thanks for the insight/tips i’ll keep all that in mind. i did see that listing but it looked high in mileage so i was a little apprehensive. i just got rid of a car w 180,000 so was hoping to have a “fresher” feel to it i guess. but something to consider nonetheless, especially if they can last awhile

DSG or manual?

preferably DSG, forgot to mention that. will try to edit it in.

manuals not out of the question but last resort

For 15 I'd almost cover the plane tix and shipping back to NJ
