Used Volkswagen Jetta for Sale near Edmonton, AB

My wife got me hooked in VWs when I started driving her Jetta - the first month with stick must have been hell with her, since I drove it like I was playing Gran Turismo. I found that it was really fun to drive, and you got an appreciation for 'precise' shifting since you couldn't just slap it in gear like the early Honda Civics of the same era...... I was really impressed that we did a day trip to the Toronto zoo and back from our Apt on the East mountain in Hamilton on a 1/4 tank! It was a sad day when the years of Hamilton road salt got to the frame and condemned it to a slow passing...

What can I say? Classy styling. A little sluggish but outhandles just about everything else on the road. Plus I can't complain about a car I got for about $400. Definitely has the "Lego factor." Way easy to work on, you can take things apart and put them back together. Fun and easy to work on, and modify. I can even begin to list all the Frankenstein parts from other cars I've put into my Jetta. There's cars that I want more, but for now, I love this one!

What a good old car! Performance- Well, it was an 87 jetta with an inline 4...so it was not by any means fast, but it got where it needed to go and would power through rain and any depth of snow with ease! Build Quality...it lasted 317k miles....enough said Appearance was butt ugly. It was maroon in color with faded black plastics, small rust starting, and looked like a box...but it did it's job valiantly Cost of ownership got more expensive as it aged due to failing old parts, but for the most part, each part was cheap! Every part I bought combined barely equaled a clutch job on my new audi...haha Fun factor. This car rocked! It was mine...it was a stick...and the engine was a tank! It took everything a new driver could throw at it and just kept loving it!

Accelerates like new. I replaced the clutch and it drives like a champ. Minor repairs and oil changes every 3 months keep it healthy. It drives like a sportscar, I can't believe it's an 87! I have never had any major issues. I hate to sell it but know it will make someone a great, reliable little car for years to come.

I just want to write a testimonial to my car. It has taken me all over the West coast and back and forth to work for 20 years. I have kept service on it up to date and it has not failed me. It has been the victim of 3 accidents just to the body and it keeps on keeping on. The last accident my insurance company totaled the car but I retained it and had it repaired and it is getting 43 mpg on the highway and 38 in town. Just got back from a trip to SunValley, Idaho and it ran like a charm. Thanks for letting me expound on my 1987 blue jetta.
