IMHO, probably the best "deal" on a 16v Jetta is going to be a '90 GLI.
First year of the 2.0l 16v and the last year of the small bumper cars.
It's lighter than the '91 and '92, probably it really isn't noticiably
heavier than a '91 or '92 GTI. Plus, its cheaper, has motronic rather than
CIS-E (a bit easier to care for) and the benefit of german construction. I
personally own a German made '91 GLI and love it. Any 16v is going to be
great, but if I had $3000 in my pocket I'd try to track down a '90 GLI.
The '91's and '92's run a bit more because of the slightly updated styling
(and added weight. Booo!!!). Well cared for 2.0l 16v GTI's are also
going to be well over $3000, and the 1.8l cars aren't quite as torquey
('87-'89 are 1.8l's). The big thing, IMHO, is to get a WELL CARED FOR CAR.
You can EASILLY spend $1500 fixing up a car that wasn't loved...
