Re: Keep the 240, or rock the dub
If you like to spend lots of money and make no power than get a VW. A 240 with mods is a lot more fun than a FWD VW with lots of mods. Keep the 240 or like another person said; sell it and get one in better condition.

Re: Keep the 240, or rock the dub
comin from someone that owns a mitsu....haha your going to spend money regardless of the make. If your going to but a vw buy something with a 20v in it or perhaps an audi a4???.....You get all the great handling from having AWD teamed with a 20v motor thats substantially stronger than the vw 20v. It will make great reliable power... trust me I've been throught all of the vw platforms!

Re: Keep the 240, or rock the dub
Here's some advice.
First, what kind of VW did you ride in? Year/Model/Mods? What made it so special.... Speed? Performance? Looks?
Second, if you are only 16, I'd stick with something cheap, slow, and reliable. That way, you can keep the insurance down and not get too many tickets. You will save billions of dollars in insurance premiums in the long run if you can keep your driving record clean for another 10 years. Doesn't have to be a Nissan or VW, just something that makes you happy to drive it.
Third, since you are so young, don't be bummed out about driving a POS. Like I said, just get something cheap, slow, and reliable. Save your hard earned money for gas and other necessities. Concentrate on school, go to college/learn a trade/start a business, then reward yourself with something nice when you get out and get a real job and make real money.
So, how reliable is the 240? If it runs well, then just fix up little bits and pieces as needed to make it clean. Save up for paint, new interior bits, whatever. This could actually turn out to be a good investment, since clean 240's are hard to come by. If the 240 makes you really unhappy and you really want a VW, then look for something stock that hasn't been beat up on. I've owned an '88 Cabriolet, '92 Cabriolet, '92 GTI 2.0l 16v, '97 GTI VR6, '98 Jetta VR6, '00 Eurovan VR6, and '04 R32. Other than the '88 Cab, all have been extremely reliable, rock solid, and fun cars to drive. I'm not saying all VW are super reliable, but we can help you avoid some of those that are prone to problems.

the vw i rode in was a 98 golf gti, and it had some eurospec stuff on it, i know the rims where, interior was, and maybe the lights. i just loved the way it looked, and how open it was compared to the 240. speed was ok, im not looking for a super fast car either, so all the haters can go to hell, i dont need a race car, or a super quick one either, i just want something that suits me, not you guys
