Well I bought my first car. 1996 VW Diesel Turbo Jetta. 210000km on it (original didnt turn over). Body is in pretty good shape. A few small rust spots. Engine starts great. Leather interior with 6 disc cd changer.
Needs a good cleaning. Dog hair in it. Need to vacuum it.
Anyways I paid $1800 for it. As is. I am gonna get it into the mechanic ASAP to get it checked over for a safety. But also have to put it into my name as well. So it will probably be another few bucks till I get it on the road. I know for sure it will need a horn (which Im hoping you guys could help me with?) and a new catalic converter. Breaks seam great and front ones look new. But it also pulls to the right a bit?
Anyways if any of you could help me with the horn that would help me the in long run. I was thinking on buying one from Canadian tire and starting there and plug it in. Hopefully that works but if it doesnt how could i make it work with like a button or something? Just to pass the safety. Also do diesels need a special canatlic converter? Are those hard to change? MY dad thought it came straight from the head? I am not sure will I put it up tomorrow.
Anyways I will post some pics of it tomorrow.
