Jarrod- I'm seriously considering replacing my 97 T5 for a newer wagon. I have 32K less miles and is asking the same price. If interested, email me @ ddp@mwbhlny.com or billyd470@juno.com I can fax you copy of lien-free title.

Recent fixes/replacement:

New wiper blade

New dunlop tires(16")

Brake rotors & pads(4/00)

plugs, caps, rotor(4/00)

3 oil(M1)changes in last 14months.

Air(K&N) & fuel filter(Bosch)(5/00)

T-belt & w/pump done @ 77K mls

Problems/issues:

Need to replace ABS control unit to stop lights from coming on.(They always seem to fail on these cars, even newer ones; about $600 to fix)

Replace the bulbs in the trip computer cluster(went out a few days ago).

Car is in excellent condition and is garaged most(4days) of the week. I acquried the car with 113K mls out of Connecticut.

Good luck in your search, BD
