Need A little advice.

2006 BRM Jetta with a suspected failed DMF with 380,000 km.

Timing Belt and etc all done at 320.000km.

Was planning to sell the car in June. But the DMF just started to fail. Sale as-is or fix it and sell?

Is it still driveable?

Tough call - if the DMF is done and not clanking, the car has more appeal, but it's not likely that you will get all the money back that you will have to put into the DMF, given the high number of km. I would be inclined to sell as-is, especially if the car can still be driven.

What is the condition like on the rest of the car? Has the cam ever been done?

Cam was inspected by Brandon when the timing belt was done at 320. No wear needing replacement at that time.

How much as is? Body and interior is clean, is my parents car.
