YES!!!!!!!


Someone finally had the means to finance me for a newer car!!!

I would first like to thank the Lord my God for this. Without Him, nada. Secondly, Stokes Volkswagen for getting the loan through.

It's a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

Specs:

2.8L 200hp VR6 - 15-degree inline V6
Six speed close ratio manual gearbox
LOADED out the wazoo with options and above all, IT HAS A SUNROOF!
27800miles

When I heard that the deal was approved...

Me = faint

I got a wonderful deal on it. They docked two thousand off the sticker and paid the Hyundai off. Insurance is only a very slim bump in premium.

The trade in:

2000 Hyundai Elantra GLS

Specs:

2.0L 135HP L4 Inline-four cylinder
Four-speed automatic transaxle
Generous amount of options including power windows, locks and painted mirrors (woohoo!)
101600miles

I originally wanted a truck but the demand is high for those and prices skyrocketed.

I am very pleased with this car already. Mainly because of the manual transmission and the sunroof but hey, IT'S AWESOMEOUS!!!!!!1!!!one!!shift+1=!


Pics!
Sorry of low quality, camera phone.

I like the racks. They set me apart from all other Reflex Silver GLIs. Plus, I can't. The previous owner didn't leave a key to access the bolts. LOL

From what I understand, 2003 is the only year that had the 200 horse 24V VR6 in them. Afterward the 180 horse 1.8T came in the GLIs along with embroidered/redlined buckets, red line trim, 18" wheels and the GLI badge in the grille.

I like mine. It looks like a regular Jetta until you see the GLI badge on the back and EVERYONE thinks it's got the 1.8T in it.
