alright i want to hear your guys opinions on this, most of you will probably just say buy another dsm but oh well...

First off my dsm is a 96'' eagle talon esi. automatic. im getting bored with this slow 420a...

My friends dad is selling a jetta but im not sure exactly on all the details i think its a 94'' though. its automatic as well but it does have the vr6 in it.

Do you think this would be a fair trade? or should i sell my talon and buy a turbed dsm. (which i dont have the money for right now lol)

thanks

I personally would keep the talon, I can stand german cars and they can be every expensive to repair.

Dude the old beetle engine is the ONE single exception of the whole thing. It is probably the easiest engine in the world to work on. You can remove the engine out of a 1960''s beetle... with 2 bolts.
