I’m nursing a 23 year old VW along. 1.8T 5mt Jetta; it’s still fun to drive, though I really do need to go through it when I have time and replace all the ancient rubber components. But it still runs fine. Fantastic city car too, because it’s easy to park because it’s so small, and old enough that I don’t really care if someone bumps into it a little bit.
Got me beat 2008 bought new (Toyota Tundra) still love it. It was the first new car I ever bought and it has been great. Also been nice not having a payment since 2011!
People buy new cars?
Apparently not. Apparently they rent them, just like their homes.

You need to have the tapered oil plug re-drilled and replaced.
Please trust me on this advice, as VW totally fucked up when they designed tapered oil plugs.
I bought my current car new - over 20 years ago.

2008? Information for your vehicle should be available in Operation CHARM manuals actually…

How many years did it take you to pay it off?
Buy a used car, it’s yours, no bills.
