It's local advert so I haven't been by for a test run yet. Had a rabbit 1980 diesel. Ran well, just needed the lifters adjusted every 30K miles, always change oil. Depends on whether or not you want a diesel. Can't comment about the turbo and turbo lag, since I never had one. Jetta is not a luxury car, looks like a bmw at best. Same German design philosophy, and you might not have the same feel as a Saab. > >The 9000T has all the luxury appointments, looks a lot like an AERO and I >now will have a fair selection of spare bits depending on the deal. >Howeverthe owner is asking considerably more than the figure quoted.
