The Volkswagen Jetta GLX is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a real sports sedan hiding inside a sensible body. It's a trick Volkswagen has played with its cars ever since the first Rabbit GTI back in 1982. The growl behind this wolf is Volkswagen's innovative VR6 engine, a smooth powerplant that delivers lots of gusto around town and out on the open road. That power is backed up with a sports suspension and big brakesstuff that makes for great sports sedans. The Jetta GLX responds quickly, precisely and smoothly, just as the driver expects. It quickly establishes a bond with its driver, a result of precision German engineering and years of research and development. Yet this wolf is as easy to control as a sheep around town. And it possesses all the comfort, roominess and practicality that make this compact sedan as useful as many midsize entries. It's a collection of attributes that have helped to make the Jetta the best selling European car in North America.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta for less money than when it was new. If the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
