Possibly selling my 2003 ALH Wagon TDI

Hi guys,

Just putting the feeler out there to the members of this forum first before I post to Kijiji.

There is a very good chance that I will need to sell (very regrettably) my TDI wagon. My new job requires me to have a truck and I cannot keep 2 vehicles.

Some specs:

2003 ALH TDI
Dark blue colour - never been in an accient or painted
No rust anywhere except a tiny bit (3inches)of surface rust just behind the drivers side wheel. Its down low just behind the mud flap.
201,000kms
Completely stock
Timing belt done at 190K
Front end work - springs, ball joints, etc ($1000 worth) done at 180K
New fuel sending unit - done at 180K
Oil/filter changed every 10K
Tan leather in perfect condition
Interior - excellent including functioning center console
Frost Heater
All power options - and all fully functional
Aluminum skid plate - not installed but will come with the car
2 sets of factory vw matts - winter and summer
Roof rack
Never had an engine light come on and no codes
Auto tranny - Ya, ya I know..the general feeling toward the 01M - However this tranny has never shown any problems.

All service has been done by Perjad at Precision Tuning and I have the receipts for the work done.

This is a VERY nice car and has been taken care of....I hate to see it go.

I would like $7500 for it.

Please don't lynch me if im way out of line with my price but I think im in the ball park.

If anyone is interested, I can send pics. Just dont have any pics right this second(they are at home)

Im surious if the Timing belt was done late, or way early? the service on these cars is 160,000 kms

An opinion, and no lynchings.....5000 if it was a manual might be ok, IMO you are over priced. It's an 11 year old car....good luck, and I hope it all works out!

oh wow...I just noticed that haha. I thought it was manual so it wasn't such a bad price if it's mint.

Automatic? ouch...

I believe the service for the first timing belt change on these cars was 100K. ( I could be wrong though) Then with the new upgraded timing belt the service goes to 160K. I bought the car with 120K and the previous owner said he had just done it..he had no receipts though. I had it in for service at Precision Tuning and just figured I may as well do it for my piece of mind.

First timing belt change was due at 160K kilometers or 100K miles per Bentley.

I paid 7500 for our 5 speed '03 wagon with 150K 4 years ago - same price for an auto today seems a bit steep.

The prices are crazy for wagons.

Co worker bought 03 220000 km for 6400 + tax..leathers and recent TB change.

But...I found a 03 with 267K and got it for 2400 no leather and needs TB badly..so deals can be found...

both wagons..both ALH..

Yes, prices all over the place for the TDI's - sedans and wagons. Althougfh there seem to be very few ALH TDI wagons available.
I will post on kijiji and am certainly flexible on price.

I've seen the car, it's a good clean solid car. The auto is still young and with a few tweaks from someone who knows them *wink*, it would have no problem living a very long life even with mods. This isn't a 'kijiji car', it's a car with a known tdiclub owner who cares for it properly(not nickle and diming it to death). The value is what a buyer wants to pay for a good car.

You always have to ask yourself, would I by the car I'm selling at my asking price?

So, would ya hoorders?

If I was in the market for a TDI ALH wagon...I would absolutely by my car. And I'm happy for a new buyer to take it to their mechanic to look it over.

not crapping.
Just showing an example.

But then there's this:

So prices all over the board.

People buying TDI wagons have been sniffing too much glue....

Oh wait - I drive one.
