hello friends pls help me choose a car. my dads friend (super trusted vendor) sells used and salvage cars.

im putting 10k down payment regardless of which car i pick. no extra financing fees or APR with these prices.

2019 vw jetta, 99k miles, salvage title. $15,500
vs
2016 nissan altima, 80k miles, clean title, $12,900

i can afford the price difference. im a beginner driver and idk much about cars. are vw repairs really that expensive ??
i love them both, and ik these prices seem high but the cars this guy sells seldom need repairs cus he makes sure they’re good before sale.

lmk guys pls and tyyy

Writing this the night of. Guy rear ended me saying he thought I went and wasn’t paying full attention. Got all his info and a case number. Car’s still drivable and the trunk opens and closes fine, it looks bad. Called family and friends and shown them this picture. They’re telling me it might count as a loss. Obviously won’t know until I talk to insurance tomorrow morning, but idk just stressed with the possibility and other things in life. It’s a 2017 with nearly 130k miles, fully paid off, no other current issues, everything works fine.

Pic I took today during a thunderstorm.

100 % Legit.

Only use of photo editing is to remove my license plate.

Had a 2023 S manual it was nice but a bit too basic now got a 2026 GLI and wow this car is a absolute joy I hope to be happy with it for a long time to come.

I’ve had my Jetta for about 3 months now and love it. However I just realized this is happening. Is the fix for this to just tighten it down? If so, should it be when the door is fully open?

Turns out you can [sorta] off road a front wheel drive TDI on Bilstein B6's and sport rims :P

2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5L. I'm getting codes 00287, 00778, 01682. My ABS light, Traction Control light, and Steering Wheel light are all on. Im not sure what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

This is my first car, a 2017. Got her in 2020 used at 19 as the third owner. With my love for 80s music, I thought it would be appropriate to name her…

Been in my family since I was in the 3rd grade... you will be missed, Ninja.

I was going straight at a green light and a guy turned out infront of me when he had a yellow blinking, swerved and avoided him.

I recently aquired this mk4 with 232k miles but it runs and drives pretty well. It sat for eight years, two of those years the sunroof was cracked open. It's gross, it's rough, the car alarm goes off every time I open a door, but I've seen what these bad boys can do. I disabled the horn btw.

What should I do to absolutely beat the shit out of this thing until it blows up? I wanna make it fun but cheap cheap CHEAP as I'll be scrapping it when it blows...

And don't tell me no!!!

This being my first post ever on a Reddit page ive finally gotten a possible timing chain diagnosis, not too sure if it’s a knock or something isn’t working right in my belt system, any advice or routes to find a clear diagnosis is greatly appreciated !!!

I wish I had a dash cam, the girl in front of me braked for no reason on the freeway and I happened to be looking at my directions in the second she did it. Wasn’t speeding or following close. I don’t even have insurance and she’s suing me with Sweet James law. 🙄

I’m stuck with a shitty rental I can barely afford, if there’s any silver lining at least I realized there are ways to save on gas. If yall want to help me out you could use my Upside code 55HGPB to help save me on gas money (saves for you too).

Also does anyone know how I can argue against this or am I just stuck paying for it, I’m pretty sure she pulled into my lane close and I got further away anyway, so she can’t honestly claim I was following close but I don’t know how to defend it with no dashcam.
