Yes, I love my Jetta. It's been a wonderful, faithful and fun car. But alas, we have decided to upgrade to a newer Jetta. Not brand spanking new, but it may as well be. We got a 2006 Jetta TDI (yes, we stuck to the diesel AND the manual transmission). We looked at some this weekend and came across one that had all the things we wanted. The only catch is that it had JUST come in to the dealership and wasn't even cleaned or anything yet. So we will get it as soon as they are done. Which will be tomorrow. I am giddy with glee! I can hardly wait to play in it! Here's a picture of the beauty (although this isn't the EXACT one).
The previous owners got it in June 2007 and only put 17k miles on it. Which means it's hardly broken in! And since they got it only a year and a half ago, there's a bunch of warranty left and we got the additional one, so we have it under warranty until about 2013! Not too shabby! I think in celebration I need to get one of these while I am at the dealership to finish it off! 🙂
I spent Sunday getting my car cleaned up. A couple things I am going to miss are the trailer hitch we added for pulling the jet ski, but I am sure we can add one to the new car. And we recently got a new stereo for the car, and I really like it. But we might put our old mp3 thing (Phat Noise) into the new one. We'll see. One of the things we liked about the new Jetta was that it had radio controls on the steering wheel (these control some other things on the dash for information on your car, too…miles to empty, trip stuff and who knows what else!). Chuck pointed out that those aren't going to work if we get a new stereo…so hmmm. I am going to do my best to try to make it through today without knowing if I'll get my new beauty today or tomorrow. 🙂 MMM…Jetta! I'll have to break out my VW key ring in celebration! 🙂
