Sad to say, my 2000 Jetta TDI was totalled - not my fault, so I am looking to collect some insurance money. I asked for $2300 extra for the mods listed below, but they won't budge on their offer. Maybe your opinion can make a difference. Thanks.

Alligator Tune
DC Stage II clutch
Panzer Plate

edit: I am trying to replace it by finding a newer, maybe 2003 wagon with a blown engine, not too far away, non-smoking, and cheap. Might need another poll for an estimate of how long it it will take me to find it.

I do want to buy another car - probably would like a 2000-2003 Jetta TDI wagon with a bad motor and manual transmission.

just buyback the car from your insurance company shouldn't be bad under $1,000 and part the thing out make $$$$ . You could also try and find one with a bad motor etc and swap. Keep your mods that way.
