Hi, I'm thinking of buying a 99 wolfsburg jetta that the owner claims is really good. The problem is it has 85k miles. Is that too much?

IMHO, Yes that is too many miles. How much are they asking?

I am looking at a used 2000 jetta GLX With leather and wood grain and all the goods. My question is it has 97,611 miles and they are asking 9,995 for the car. Is that to many miles to take a chance on or is VW Jetta pretty reliable. Thanks

WOW!!! Who is asking almost $10,000 for a 2000 Jetta GLX? That is about $4,000 -$5,000 too much. Please do NOT even consider that car for that price. I would give no more than $4,000 and still be very hesitant to buy a Jetta with that many miles on it. Whoever is selling that car for that much needs to be avoided!!
 
Don't do it!!!

I'm in Canada and we are looking at a 2000 Jetta for $7500Cdn. The car has 157K Kilometers on it.
The way it works here is the Ministry of Transportation set the bottom end of the price using the black book.
I just hope I won't regret this.
