Yeah SLO - Electrical Engineering.

Thanks for the input. If it can get me to and from my home town comfortably I don't mind at all.

However,I'll be giving up a lot of practical features in the GTI like 6 disc CD, iPod integration, heated seats, projector headlights, rear seats (never use em though), tilt and telescopic steering wheel, among other things. But everything I've read and seen and heard makes it seem worth it. My roommate has a 99 and it's the best sounding car within miles. The car I'm looking at doesn't even had a CD player according to the dealer (still haven't seen it in person, but put a deposit down to hold it) so I'll be using a cassette to iPod adapter.


Is the 80K mile range a bad place to buy a 986? I've read that anything that's made it to 100K will keep on going, and anything lower at like 50K still has some time before everything needs replacing. What is your take on this? It'd be nice to have it all in one place.

I also scheduled a PPI and am hoping for the best.


Thanks again guys!
