So, I finished the balance shaft delete/oil pump chain upgrade, transmission/torque converter replacement and while I was at it, replaced the timing belt, tensioner, roller, crankshaft seal, accessory belts, tandem pump seal, coolant sensor and the plastic neck on the back of the head. So, the car should be good for a while.
Now, however, I'm a little undecided about whether to keep the car or sell it. When I bought it from the original owner who gave me all the receipts (even the original window sticker) with a bad transmission, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Coming from ALH Jettas, I thought, how can I go wrong? Now it seems, they simply don't fetch the same money and I would only be breaking even at best. Hence, my question. What is a 2005 Passat wagon with 175k on it even worth these days? BTW, the camshaft has already been replaced by a VW dealer some years ago.
Thanks in advance.
