worst purchase ever!

This is how I feel when I think of our situation right now. Did anyone ever buy a car that you have completely regretted afterwards? We have this jetta that for the first few years we owned it, it wasn't so bad. We bought it when we were poor college kids so obviously it was used. But I have had used cars before and they have been great. This particular car is a total dud.

After many trips to mechanic to keep it running we have been trying to sell it for the past 6 months, but it will not pass emissions. So we have been going back and forth sell it anywhere outside of spanish fork through ogden or try and trade it in, etc. We decided to sell it in logan where matts sister lives because you did not need emissions and it can pass safety.
Well last night our door bell rings and it is a police officer saying the sandy pd had called him to find out if we are going to register the car and where it is. We told him it was at big o tires just a few minutes from our house and we asked if anything was wrong. He had no idea. As soon as the kids were in bed matt drove over there we had a ticket for expired registration and perpendicular parking(what the crap is that?)The icing on the cake someone totally broke in the drivers side window, they stole nothing because there is nothing to steal. Now we have to replace that. AAAHHHH!!!
I hate this car. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Just had to get that off of my chest.

On the up side isn't this the cutest pic of my kids and their cousins on my side we took these a few months ago and I never posted them. CUTIES!

I have heard that Jetta's have bad reputations for breaking down and having problems after a certain point. I have a friend that had the same problem with her Jetta.

Hope you sell it soon! Such a pain...
