New Car

[derek]

Well I ended up buying a new car. I traded in my 2001 Ford Explorer for a 2007 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition.

I love this little car, has some zip and is fun to drive. The service manager said to take an easy till I hit 500 miles, then after that go for it.

Now I need to figure out how to mount my Sirius Radio in it.

The service manager said to take an easy till I hit 500 miles...

Excellent advice, something every dealer should tell every customer, but so rarely do.

If you really want to do it right, take it *very* easy for the first 100 miles (keeping under 40mph, and only drive in very short spurts), then take it pretty easy for the next 400 miles (no long trips, and don't go too fast)...and then after 500 miles replace the diff fluid in your front axle.

After than, have fun! :yes:

Sweet! I've been wanting one of those, but my wife made fun of me when I told her. She just doesn't appreciate the feel and drive of a Jetta.

Nice looking ride.

Looks real good. Volkswagon is a great car. You will have good time with that thing.

Sweet man. I also work for a V.W. dealer in Michigan. Those are selling very nicely, and everyone loves the diesel V-dubs. Enjoy the ride man.
