looks like whatever rims are on your jetta is what you need to trade me
I've been looking for a mk3 to daily for a while now, most are very rusty or beat to hell. I really wanted a golf but I found this 97 jetta trek edition. Has nice bolstered seats. I just bought it yesterday, that same night the exhaust blew out and the car became incredibly loud, I noticed the fog lights, ac, and sun roof didn't work. I pulled the switch down from the sun roof and saw the it wasn't plugged in but the plug was incompatible With the switch, turns out the whole motors missing haha. Still a rust free mk3. That runs good and drives nice. Maybe a diesel one day.
Haha I paid 3100(tax tag and title) with a handful of issues nothing really bad tho. It sat on the lot since the spring I was hoping my gf would want it but eventually I just got it for myself since its relatively rust free which is really rare around here especially on mk3s. The engine runs really well with no funny noises and the trans shifts great so all and all its a really nice mk3 I'm really happy with it. I've only driven mk1s since I was 16 so I earned my old car driver merrit badge it feels good to be in a mk3

Your rabbit is my preference of the three. Yours looks very sharp. About a year ago I picked up a '79 4-door after not having a rabbit for about 20 years and I love it. 1/2 the weight of a mk3 makes a BIG difference in the power to weight ratio. I installed a VNT 15 on it and it goes very well. I also recently picked up a 2002 ALH jetta wagon and I think the rabbit with moderate boost has better power to weight.
Forget about fuel injection, Slap a carb on it
