Hello everyone. So first of all I would like to say that I’m new to this site. Now getting with my issue. So yesterday I found a 2010 VW Jetta TDi with a 6 speed manual transmission and 60k miles on the odometer. Yesterday I decided to check it out and the car is in a immaculate state. The inside …

It’s still a 10 year old used car. Being towed may or may not mean anything. The thing about collisions is that you never really know what has happened under there. When my son wrecked his Camaro some years ago (not his fault) the car barely appeared to have any damage other than a slightly canted…
