Never had that problem.

I always have this problem. The Duster, the LeMans, the TRUCK, the Jetta, all have same no crank problem but for different reasons.

My Z did that so I got a new switch and ran some new wire and it went away.

No deal on the Tracker. Lady got scared off by the list of minor problems. Personally, I think you'd have to be a complete moron not to do an even swap for a '95 Tracker for a '97 Jetta, both with the same mileage... and there are lots of morons out there.

Jetta > Tracker.

In the end you're just switching one iconic gay car for another, so what's the point?

:evildude:

The point is, I like this job, but I'm not going to do it next summer without my own 4x4. I'd prefer a 4cyl pickup, or a Sidekick/Tracker. Stupid pregnant whore with the Tracker thinks she's going to find a better deal because my Jetta just isn't going to last very long. Yeah, good luck with that, bitch. This is what happens if you're honest when you try to sell a car. She says the Tracker is perfect and doesn't have any problems. What a load of crap. She deserves to get ripped off. :rolleyes:

Get you facts straight.
I want a Tracker because I need a 4x4 for my job.
I drive a Jetta because it's cute and has a big shifter.

He really needs to hire a financial planner.

He wants to spend money on a gas guzzling 4x4 (further pushing himself into the red with fuel, tax, title, license, insurance costs) specifically for a job that is already barely making him any money as it is.

Jetta update:

It's still a POS. It got rear ended a few weeks ago. The bumper boucned back, but it bent the frame, so the insurance totalled the car for a reasonable sum of money. I have used that money to pay for some school, some motorcycle repairs, and a cat, but the rest should go to upgrading the Jetta or the purchase of a Saab 900 SE.
