1997 Jetta Turbo Diesel

Glenn 8 February 2005 06:44:11
 I have come across a 1997 Turbo Diesel (not TDI) that is 5 speed,
120,000 km's, one owner, no rust, drives nice, etc. I am replacing my
93 Golf, and do want to go diesel.

Timing belt just done, exhaust from manifold back is new, has air, new
brakes, new tires, comes with snow tires. Little sluggish with the low
HP of the TD, but no big deal. It does still have 40,000 km's left on
its factory powertrain warranty.

It is a dealer trade, and the price has me thinking it is high, as it
is $11900 Canadian, which seems a couple of thousand high.

Any thoughts? Any opinions on the car?

Thanks,
Glenn

 Here in the US the powertrain warranty was 10years/100,000 miles for the
first owner, all others were 5years/50,000mile.

 Go to www.autotrader.ca and look for VW Jetta Diesel 1997, they range from
$4k to $8k Canadian, so $11900 is definitely high. I would say $7K seems
more realistic.

Mk3 diesels are good cars. Especially for commuting or highway travel.

I had a 97 Jetta TD (southern Ontario) before the first of my A4 TDIs.
The TD in the 97 offers neither the performance NOR THE ECONOMY of the
A4 TDI.

The 97 TD was a trouble free car, but I got around 43MPG (imperial
gallons) with it compared to 51-52 MPG out of the A4 TDIs (all 5spd
manuals). Of all of the VW turbo diesels I've had (7 now, going back
to 1984) the 97 was the worst for fuel consumption. In fact, my 05
TDI Passat gets about the same mileage, but with TONS more power, more
weight, and with automatic tranny.

If you (original poster) considering this car because of the fuel
economy, I'd suggest trying to find a TDI instead.
