<![CDATA[FS: 1997 Jetta VR6 GLX]]>I am going to be selling a car. It was previously owned by a friend, who did not drive it much. It is a red mk3 Jetta with the VR6. It also has a suspension kit (60 mil fk drop - whatever that means), chip, and full exhaust system done (tektoniks sp?). The car also has factory options such as power locks, windows, heated black leather seats, power moonroof, bose stereo. The car has 135,000 miles on it. I personally like this car better than the 99.5 mk4 VR6 I had this spring. The car was autocrossed once to see what it was like, and proved to be a very capable contender. Going to advertise it for $5000/bo in carsoup. PM me here or on TCS if you are interested in the car, I have a few pics of it as well. This car, as it sits, should break into the high 14s, but it has not been down a strip officially. It was faster than my Mustang when it was stock, which garnered times of 14.9x. The corners are where this car excels, however.

Car is located in the Twin Cities at the moment, however, I could drive it somewhere between Brainerd and Fargo if someone has a legitimate interest in looking at and purchasing this car.

Just put it on carsoup for $4950. Still willing to give a Fargo person a deal on this one, just for the amusement factor of hearing about it slaughtering all the local cars.

Dont know for sure. Just turbo the vr6 like he said and it would be one nice ride. Bump for a clean looking car

Yes, but there is absolutely no reason you have to keep a vr6 n/a 😄

Remember, I would be willing to drive it somewhere between Brainerd and Fargo for a showing. This thing is quicker than any v-tec with comprable work into it. Throw a turbo on this thing and enjoy an instant 300whp, or simply keep it as is for a refined psydo-luxury commuter/sleeper. Can't tell you how many 4.6 stangs this thing has surprised. VR6s, though somewhat rare, are sought after in the euro car community for a reason.

However, I know the first person to take this thing around a cloverleaf will be the one to say, "how much do you want?". The handling capabilities of this car are unreal. I would like to see this car go to someone who would take care of it, and perhaps run it through the occasional autocross, which is what this car is set up for.
