New development - thrown rod - How much would you pay?
My Dad, who lives on the gulf coast, Has a 2003 Jetta TDI that he bought new. It only has around 50,000 miles but the rear shock towers rusted out a couple of years ago and it sat down on the back wheels. It's just been sitting on his property ever since. It will start and move around but you can drive it on the road. In fact, he had to move it up to the high ground before the hurricane last year because the area ended up under 10 feet of water. Anyway, I'm down here visiting and I saw it sitting there with the window open. I asked him how much he wanted for it because I'm interested in the drive train. He asked me how much I'd give for it. My first thought is $1000. I'll have to haul it back to Kentucky but I have a truck and trailer. I was just wondering if anyone else has an opinion on what it would be worth.
