    Are you talking manual or automatic? I have almost 45000 on my New Beetle (manual). Are you saying that I'm doomed any day now?

    I had a 98 Volkswagen Golf. On a trip to DC, the transmission started making a clicking type sound with only 24k miles on it. I drove it another 10k before I traded it. I never replaced the tranny, cause I was gonna drive it til it dropped. It was a manual, btw.

    Rules for buying a car

    1. Never buy new.

    2. Pay as much as you can in cash. Borrow as little as possible.

    3. Pay it off as fast as possible. What the hell is a $200 car payment if you'll be paying for 5yrs.

    4. Keep it until the wheels fall off. Think how much money you can save or apply to something else by not having a car payment.
