My Ride:
'84 Z31 2+2; '00 Outback

iTrader: (0)
98 V70 Wagon or 03 Jetta Wagon?!

HELP! WHICH ONE TO BUY? I will daily these cars and maybe bring them off-road and on X-country trips.

The Volvo:
-180k miles
-manual
-T5 model
-needs rear window switch replaced
-needs AC recharge
-needs pcv oil trap replaced (included with sale)
-premium gasoline

The VW:
-150k miles
-manual
-2.0 GLS
-timing belt and other stuff were recently replaced
-needs nothing
-regular gasoline

BOTH CARS COST THE SAME.

How bad are MK4-generation VW electronics?

If they are not things that require special technicians and ginormous/inaccessible parts, then I will go with the Jetta.
