Nice jetta man! The wheels add a nice touch how much were you asking for it?

thanks man
looks like I forgot to post a price.
I'm looking for $7200...pretty firm on that.
if it were stock and in original condition it'd be worth about $5500. But it just got $2k in work/parts, as well as the coilovers and wheels/tires that it has...thats close to $9k.
I know I wont get 9k, but for a car that looks and handles good, is decently quick and fun to drive, and has a motor and trans that will last another 100k, I think 7200 is a fair asking price.

plus, if I dont get enough for it I wont be able to afford an ///M. :stickoutt

I don't really want to sell it. I love it. But I want a bimmer more.
