I have been kicking around the idea of selling my 03 Jetta TDI wagon. I do IT field tech work and drive about 600 miles a week. I just feel bad driving such a nice car so much everyday, and feel like I will just drive any value out of it over the next year. I might go back to a Honda or Toyota $3K beater. Not as good MPG, but the depreciation is already out of it and insurance would be cheaper.
It's a little under 95K miles, manual, silver. It is in good shape overall, the bumpers are a little banged up, it has 2 small dents in the body. I keep up with the maintenance, run Rotella syn oil, and have lots of records from the previous owner. Just did the font brakes. Tires are good, interior in really good shape. I will be having the t belt done shortly.
Any ideas as to what this is worth these days, and are they as sought after as they were a year ago? The guy I bought it from thought he could have sold it for more than I gave him, but we agreed on a price sight unseen. They seemed to be the holy grail when I bought it. Thoughts, suggestions... anything is much appreciated.
