Reply to comment by drmorrison88 in 1987 vw jetta. Starts, runs, tiny maintenance costs and never left me stranded. Soon 300k km. Got it since 5y + by korky1318

EU cars mate. Funny, most of mk2 jettas here are more in the 100k - 200k km range

Yeah, Canada here. Even my jetta has relatively low numbers on the clock. I work with a guy who has a 2001 golf with 850k on the original 1.8t & 5 speed manual.

Has he replaced the turbo?

I assume he must have. Rebuilt at minimum.

My 87 944 has like 360k km on it. 2007 X3 has 260k km.
