What Owners are Saying About the 1992 Volkswagen Jetta

"Perfect first car."

"My father bought one new in 1987, three years before I was born, and it still runs like it did back then. I'm nearly 18, and this is my first car. We did some repairs on it ourselves (Pretty major things) and we think it will go for a few more months (and if I go easy on it maybe a few more years with proper care). Overall a fun car to own and drive, with very advanced features for the time it was built."

"MKII jetta"

"i own a jetta coupe.With an Aba swap and a turbo.Owned the car 100% stock and love it more everyday"

"i love my jetta"

"i love my jetta... I purchased it about 4 1/2 years ago. I have replaced just about everything on the car myself, including radiator, heater core, struts, springs, clutch, trans., exhaust, but have not touched the motor. this car is so much fun to drive, I take it everywhere, I love the classic styling, ease of maintenance, and fuel economy. I will drive this car until the wheels fall off!!!!!!!"

1992 Volkswagen Jetta Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
