I bought a car!

Just felt like letting people know and getting some feedback.
It's a 1999 Volkswagen GTI. 5 speed, turbo'd. Here are some pics.

Those were from the summer, here's from the winter (now). I'm picking the car up this week. These are all dealer photos. The roof rack was added.

Congratulations on getting the new car. It looks reliable and decent in the snow.

GTI's are nice cars. You will enjoy it. Plus, they usually make the new parts installable on the older cars, so any new factory goodies should just bolt on.

One thing I do when ever I buy a new used car (never buy a new one myself) is to change all the fluids in the car. Oil, Tranny, Trans-axle (if different) and coolant and any others. These fluids have a certain life span and won't do the job they need to after a while. This way I know the car is not going to die because of some fluid or lubricant failure. Most of this work is easy, if you can get under the vehicle.
