 As my first real car, I lived in Orange County and bought it @ 66,000 miles Certified.  Two car accidents. One cross country trip from California to Boston. One winter later it has 105,000 miles on it! GULP!  But it's fared pretty well.  I've had a few minor electrical issues, and an engine leak but after the terrible VW Customer service honored everything it was alright.  After putting over 105k miles on a 5 year old car it still coasts the highways SO SMOOOOTHLY.  I need brakes done shortly, first time since 66,000 miles. Just got my timing belt done and ready for more.  Good Car considering everything Ive done to the poor thing.
