when it needs yet ANOTHER window lifter, or when it won't
Sounds like you got a lemon. Sold both my 2000 Jetta TDI and 2004 Golf
TDI after a couple of years of ownership and no maintenance hassle for
just slightly below what I paid for them new (exempting taxes).

I've never ridden in a Jetta that was bought used.
I've never ridden in a Jetta with working A/C.
