TAX RETURN $$$$

[Walter]

So with my tax return I was planning on throwing a few things on my LB. Do some bodywork, get rims, and coil-overs... a couple of seats and a half cage if money permits.

However, I just found out my old car is for sale, and it has sentimental value to me. It got rear ended, so its a steal right now for only $2000-! Its still pretty much how I had it when it was a magazine feature car, except now it has a motor swap! I could have 2 cars and have my cake and eat it too... but the yaris would have to wait a while for more mods if I buy the jetta back...

What to do, what to do?

tough call. how bad's the damage? if it's not too bad, i'd buy it back (if it really has sentimental value). that's important. i still have to get my first R/C back from this one A-HOLE who broke it 3 years ago! i swear...if he threw it away...

Looks like maybe 1000 worth of damage if i buy used and aftermarket parts to fix... along with cheap labor.

not bad at all. i say buy your Jetta back.

Here is a picture of the damage, it needs...
Parts: Tailights, trunklid, and spoiler lifters (it has a speed sensitive Corrado spoiler)...
Bodywork: Repair both quarter panels, trunk floor, rear pan, & rear bumper.

Luckilly enough the quarter panels didnot buckle, no pinches in the rear door gaps, no buckles in the roof...

Here is a picture of the damage, it looks worse than it is.

like you said, 1000 bucks to repair, which is not that bad. and if everything's just cosmestic damage, then go for it. and that's a first, never seen a Corrado spoiler on a Jetta.

i'd get the yaris where you want it, goin back to an old car, it'll never be as good as it once was :)

The yaris, IMO at least, has much more potential to look sweet.

+ extra insurance.

I'd say a great way to go would be get the jetta, fix it, sell it, and use the $ you would have used on teh yaris, and pocket the extra
