2003 Golf TDI (RIP), 2006 Jetta Wagon TDI
Trying to work out the numbers on whether to try and put this piece back on the road:

2006 VW Jetta Wagon 340k, 5spd, red, "Boondocks Edition"
Fenders, hatch rusted through. Driver door and rear quarterpanel have palm-sized rust patches. Warranty till end of Jan, but PO rattle-canned them (will still make an appointment). Cloth interior, not clean but with a detail would be OK, small tear in driver's bolster. Last TB date unknown. Car was born in Quebec and spent last 6 or so years in Ontario.

Needs:
-Windshield
-Caliper(s) and e-brake cables
-Shifter cable
-Driver door lock module and lock cylinder
-Alternator pulley+tensioner

Those are the things I know off my head without having it on a lift yet. At least it has regular oil changes and new wheel bearings...

How much as-is and how much after repairs?

If the quarter panel is not original paint...there goes the warranty. Regardless of the rust or not, VW will most likely deny it since the PO has messed with it and made it worse.

Sounds like a $500 car to me. At least that is what I would offer.

2004 TDI Golf 415+kms

Ordered a new Golf back in October, should be here by March. Delay is due to the spec/colour I ordered.

I'm not sure If I'll keep my current Golf as a spare or not when the time comes. I guess it all depends on what I can fetch for it.

2004 TDI Golf GLS
415,000+ kms and climbing
two full sets of wheels/tires (winter, all-season)
Malone Stage II
no rust to speak of, small spots in rock chips.

in the last year or so I've added/replaced the following items
Shocks, Struts, Springs (Bilstein, H&R)
Rotors, Pads (Brembo, VW/Audi)
Radiator
Fuel Pumps
Cylinder Head and injectors
Timing belt Kit

Most likely a few other things that I'm forgetting.
I have a folder of all the receipts since the car was new. I am not the original owner.
runs great, not a single issue since the head was installed.

Google "limp mode tdi"
This isn't really the right thread to ask a question like that.

If it comes with safety then you should be able to get $2500. I selling it as-is then $2K.

2003 Jetta wagon
Hey guys,

I've got a 2003 Jetta wagon, alh with a 5 speed. The car has some rust on the fenders, a bit on the driver's door, and rocker panels, and hatch.

The dmf just started making some noise. The driver's window falls off the track when it's all the down but pushes into place easily. The glove box doesn't close.

The car has 378km, water pump and timing belt done at 315 (no receipt). I'm technically the second owner. Car has an aftermarket deck, but I have the original.

It's a gls model with leather and a sunroof.

What do you think it's worth?

Rust repairs will run about 2k, replacing dmf/clutch nearly 1k, so it's worth maybe 1k as is.

2001 or 2011? Don't think they made a "Highline" in 2001.
My bad I meant to say that it was the top of the line meaning leather seats and all the upgraded goods available (according to previous owner)
My 2011 Jetta Highline is only worth 11000,just curious for my 2001

If interior looks very good I would give $500 or else less than that.

If it runs and drives, body in decent shape.. Gotta be worth a $1000 anyways. Not too many mkivs for under $500 that are not timing belt broken or auto trans blown.

I don't see diesel wagons anywhere for that kind of money. There is one that sold on Kijiji that's rotten and they want $2800 with 370k.

2015 Sportwagen 6M, 2006 Golf GLS TDI (sold)
2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI 6-speed manual Trendline. Pics below.
103534km, heated seats, Bluetooth, no sunroof, 15” Lyon alloys and steel winters with Tiguan centre caps.

The good:
- The Holy Grail.
- Extended VW Protection Plus Warranty to May 28, 2023 or 200000 km, covers any repairs that aren’t “wear & tear”. Transferable for $100 fee +HST.
- Purchased Certified Preowned from Waterloo Volkswagen in 2018 with 48,000 km
- Have all dealer service records since I purchased. All recalls done.
- Bone stock, no collisions.
- No sunroof to leak/rattle/shatter.
- Still has cruise, heated seats, Bluetooth, XM radio, and factory block heater w/ cord.
- Floor Mats: Weathertech front liners and cargo liner, VW Monster Mats (fronts stored), and VW carpeted front and rear (stored also)
- 200/2000 lb trailer hitch and 4-way wiring installed. Scarcely used.
- Winter wheels and tires included.
- Stock clutch holds fine.
- Throttle response is awesome for a diesel. No rev hang.
- Electronic Corrosion Module, FWIW...
- Battery kept on a trickle/float charger during COVID.

The not-so-good:
- Tires: summers and winters will both pass safety, but both should be replaced. 5-7 32nds tread.
- Brakes: rears are worn; fronts are warped. Willing to install pads and rotors all around prior to sale.
- Body: a couple minor door dings (none through the clearcoat), and a tiny chip + surface rust at the bottom edge of the rear hatch. Looking into some paintless repair on the dings. Otherwise pretty darn good.

What’s it worth, both as-is, and certified with brakes tires and dings addressed? Private sale value. Thanks!

I pulled a "like new" condition southbend stage 2 daily out of a parts car yesterday. Can't really find any used prices anywhere, I know parkauto sells the kit new for around $750 plus tax. What's a fair price? $350?

Hi Everyone,
Contemplating on selling my car as I won't be using it much and don't have much need for it anymore. Trying to gauge what it's worth on here. It's a white 2015 VW Golf TDI with around 56,000km (bought new in 2017 due to the diesel stop sell). The trim is comfortline and everything is stock with a set of winter tires. It's accident free and regular maintenance were done at the dealership. What do you think it's worth? TIA!

Manual/Auto? Pictures? Price expectation?
