Market Highlights
- Enthusiast Appeal: The Volkswagen VR6 engine is legendary for its unique exhaust note and compact power delivery. Even in 2026, these Mk4 models maintain a niche following among 'modern classic' enthusiasts who value the engine's character over modern efficiency.
- San Diego Market Dynamics: Vehicles in Southern California benefit from a 'rust-free' premium. This Jetta lacks the corrosion issues found in East Coast examples, making it a more viable long-term project for a buyer willing to address the minor mechanical needs.
- The High-Mileage Reality: At nearly 200,000 miles, this vehicle has entered the 'maintenance-heavy' phase of its lifecycle. While the VR6 is robust, associated components like the cooling system and sensors require diligent attention to keep the car road-worthy.
