Old cars pay attention to feelings, "feelings" this thing is to have a certain emotion or state of mind, it is difficult to measure with money, because they will tell you: a thousand gold is hard to buy a good heart. A few months ago, a 2011 Toyota Crown V84.3L model was finally won at a high price of 412000 yuan, and some automakers said that the value of the crown would not change because of who did not accept it. The classic but scarce old car can be of great market value.

Today, a 1989 Volkswagen Jetta hit moments. Car dealers said that the second-hand car market in Huaxiang in Beijing was brilliant again, with Jetta car inspection insurance in 1989, with a turnover of 550000 yuan. He also specially stressed that it is RMB 550000 yuan, which is an ordinary Jetta without any modification, and the old car needs people who understand him.

For some people who eat melons, they will say that buyers have "a lot of money". No matter how classic it is, it is not worth the price. The sky-high price of 550000 has even exceeded our feelings.

However, a person familiar with the matter revealed that the actual transaction price of the 1989 Volkswagen Jetta was 55000 yuan, not the 550000 yuan spread online. At the same time, netizens also exposed that the car owner did not sell the car.

Whether it is 550000 or 55000, for this 30-year-old Volkswagen Jetta, if there is no other reason, since a buyer is willing to pay this price, it has demonstrated its market value or collection value.

FAW-Volkswagen assembly of Volkswagen Jetta began in 1991, about 8 years later than Santana's home-made Jetta, so the 1989 Volkswagen Jetta can only be said to be a German original.

The old Jetta is the second generation of the Volkswagen Jetta series, also known as the Jetta 2, which was launched in 1984 and uses the same chassis as the Volkswagen Golf 2, and most of the parts are common between them. In August 1989, Volkswagen upgraded the Jetta 2 again, so the later version of the Jetta 2 came out, with a spray-molded skirt edge and a thicker bumper in the lower body. This is the square-headed old Jetta that Chinese fans are familiar with. From the point of view of the number of years, the Volkswagen Jetta bought today should belong to this period and is likely to be a carburetor engine.

Jetta has a long history in China, which is why it is a household name. The name Jetta once appeared in the "old three", and it was one of the models for people and enterprises and institutions to buy cars at that time. Today, Jetta is still a special car for most driving schools and insurance companies.

Jetta is a hatchback car built by Volkswagen based on previous golf platforms since 1979. In 1991, the second generation Jetta (code name MK2) was introduced into China by FAW-Volkswagen, which began the history of Jetta. After the introduction of the fourth generation Jetta in 2001, it has been renamed Bora, and has been updated continuously so far to maintain its Chinese special status. After the introduction of the fifth-generation Jetta in 2006, the name was renamed Suiteng. So far, the offshore version of Jetta is also docked in domestic Suiteng, including the latest seventh-generation Jetta, that is, a brand-new generation of Suiteng currently on sale in China.

FAW-Volkswagen Jetta is also a special car in China, which was replaced by A2 chassis model in 1980s to PQ25 platform model in 2013, and has been sold so far. FAW-Volkswagen Jetta officially stopped production in June 2019, with a total sales of 4.4 million vehicles, which shows the brilliance of Jetta models in the Chinese market and is destined to be an indispensable part of Chinese automobile history.

Back to today's Jetta, so far there is car insurance, and the actual meter only drives 30,000 kilometers, indicating that the car owner still cherishes it and uses it less frequently. Even after 30 years, the condition of this Jetta should not be a big problem.

However, so far, netizens can not understand why it is still worth this price, perhaps feelings of this thing we can not understand. Is there any other reason?
