Hey Sadeeq, don't forget to check down here in good ol Oregon. Every once in a while I spot one in the Classifieds or on a lot.
As far as the VW Jetta goes, my sister owns one & she has had a few problems with it too. It's a 2001 1.8T. I told her not to buy a VW, but she wouldn't listen. She plans on trading it in within the next year. Just something to think about.
