Well...after much mulling over....I have purchased a 99.5 MKIV Jetta GLS....Black....abandoning my MKIII love. I've traded in my 96 G3, which I bought new. She served me well for 136k with very little maintenance......I bought the Jetta for under 13K with about 35,000 miles. Does that seem about right....maybe even a bit low actually....good deal.
I have a friend that purchases off lease cars....so, the strange thing is...I haven't even seen the car yet but I've been assured that it is a creampuff...perfect interior/exterior and mechanically sound as can be.
What I need to know is what does the GLS trim level include?....I know the basics but want some input from those that know what they are talking about with regard to the MKIV world. I've been driving VW's for ever 12 years now....not the signature for some of my past dubs.....
The car does not have alloys but I am planning on ordering something prior to pick-up to be mounted on the car....and not too costly. Here's what I have in mind so far Borbet Type B or C or AT Sport Italia Spa's. Sticking with the 15" for the time being.....
That's it in a nutshell.....looks like I will be switching forums soon....

Well, welcome here. The general environment in this forum is probably slightly different than whatever your Vortex home is right now. Generally, when compared to other forums on Vortex, ours is closer to an ongoing Civil War in which no one really knows what they are talking about (Our cars are so new, and most mods even newer), people would rather tear each other down completely than have sex with a girl, and useless polls are the rule of the day. Welcome to hell. Welcome to the MKIV forum

Just kidding...sort of....

We all know what we are talking about...or think we do...that's why it's such a trip posting here!

One thing that I've noticed so far....this place moves fast...threads fall off the first page in a few minutes....quicker pace than that of my old MKIII stomping grounds....I look forward to hanging around this place...I log a lot of Vortex time so it won't take me long to assimilate to the MKIV world....I hope..

ROFL..... hahahahhahahahhah *sniff* AHAHAHHAHAHAHhHAhahahahhahah
I'm sorry, but this is somewhat true. Funny, but true. In all honesty, if you can wade through the pages and pages of useless crap in this forum, you can normally find some decent information.
Welcome!
