'98 VW Jetta GLX VR6

[Joehoo]

alright, I've heard that the '98 Jetta GLX VR6 is a piece of junk, electrically. I saw one for sale with 46k miles on it, and was told edmunds.com was a good place for reviews on cars.

i went their and saw that the consumer reviews were pretty much 50/50 on the quality of the car - though there seemed to be some serious issues with power locks/windows, alarm, and various other issues. unfortunately I really like this car.

is 5-6k on the Jetta I mentioned, with 46k miles, a pretty good deal? - i saw it booked for about 9k on nada.com

or is it really a troublesome car that I shouldn't think about? anyone that owns/has owned one with close to 100k or more miles on it that can give me any insight to the car would be very helpful.

any information about it is greatly appreciated, thanks all

about a month ago i purchased a 1997 Jetta GLS VR6. so far i love it. it has about 97k miles on it. as for the electrical, i haven't had problems with anything yet. just fixing the few things i found wrong with it.
