I was in Midland, Michigan, sick of pumping money into my Scirocco 16V...i looked around and couldnt find anything in a stick that i wanted, so I found a 96 GL with 10K miles (this was in beginning of 1998) and paid 10K. I had great service,,they actually drove the car to my job so i could test it,,,I drove it back to the dealer, so I bought it.
Then, at 120K miles (oct 2001), I decided time to change..tranny wouldnt downshift into 3rd, just slightly beat up, although engine was flawless.
The guy here in atlanta, GA, said to me,,,look, its oct 31st, end of month,,,what do I have to do to get you into this 1999 SE sport, with 53K miles...he gave 1K for the GL and sold me the car for 7500 dollars, fully loaded except moonroof and leather.
My prob was that my credit is shaky and paid crappy interest rate...as soon as I can get lower interest rates, I am trading for an SVT...
