From your description of the Jetta, it sounds like you haven't hit #1 or #2 yet and are long past #3.

We just got rid of our 95 Camry wagon when things started to break faster than I could fix them (fuel leak, brake fluid leak from a rusted line, Cv boots needed replaced...along with a lot of smaller issues that we've been living with). It was my daughters and I wasn't wanting her to take it to college 100 miles away.
We bought it new and it was kind of tough (especially for her) but we knew it was time
From the sound of yours it's still reliable
