re: Most expensive/cheapest vehicle you've purchased?

Back in college, I bought a 2000 model Volkswagen Jetta GLX V6 that was loaded in 2007 for 1,450 or so bucks. Sunroof, heated seats, leather, wood trim, power everything.

It had 170,000 highway miles on it and I it was on eBay.

It was nearby so I messaged the guy if I could come look at it. So I went and looked it over.. drove it.. and gave it a once over checking things out. Needed a set of tires but it was ok. Guy said he thought 2,400ish was going to be the high bid.

Sat in my apartment that Sunday night and I bid it up to 1,450. The next to highest bidder was in Illinois.

Two things hurt it online. It was a 5 speed and it was higher miles. No…. Didn’t hurt it… it killed it. My bid won.

I subsequently put 100,000 more miles on it before the clutch went out and I sold it for 600 bucks to a mechanic.
