thanks,tom

I would **guesstimate*** w/ that low miles and verifiable service,between $11k-$14k. Just a matter of someone having cash or financing an older car for that much.This is perfect for me,but no extra $$$ now. See if you can post up some pictures. Good luck w/ sale if you decide to sell it.

$11k, the car is 7yrs old...hard to believe....2010

and your 98 is worth $2500 just because it is 12 years old?

It depends on the car, upgrades, etc

ESP? What's that worth?

Does it have Mult-function steering wheel, lumbar seats, late 2003 cupholders in console, 6 CD magazine player, roof rack? Trailer hitch/wiring? Panzer plate? Nozzles? Chipped? Lots to consider that could add value...

P.S. I just don't want to admit our cars are losing value...but in reality they are. Thank for the reality check!

"upgrades" are almost worth nothing...unless you find a particular buyer looking for such.

I just looked on Autotrader (I use VW Jetta wagon search,2002-2003,any distance)-there were 15 listed- an 02 w/ 27k,automatic,at dealer,asking $15995. Another silver one in Jersey w/ 5spd and 53k-asking $17750. doesn't mean they'll get it though. A super clean like new low mileage TDI will get good money still,just need the person to pay it.What is the KBB of the OP's car? KBB values(assuming GLS,in my zip code)-Retail-$13,300 Private party-$11,200 Trade in-$9200.... Please post some pictures of this gem......

I'm neither ..... I said before he needs someone that has the cash,or is willing to pay it in previous posts.......there WILL be a person that will pay a good price for a clean 03(last of the ALH motors).....maybe he should advertise it in California and not here on the club,as we are all cheap bastards here........

people spend 15-20k everyday for all kinds of new throw away junk..
i'm thinking low end asian and domestic varieties.
i will take a 7 year old well maintained vw tdi over brand new crap any day.
i will definitely take cared for 7 year old cars for 10-15k versus newer
vehicles with nothing exceptional to offer for 2 or three times that amount.

Hey man I live like 10 miles from you lol

a small fortune, cuz unfortunately you know what you have!!

Is this car for sale, price, pictures, why only 34K miles?

Is there a trusted mechanic that could do an independent inspection? I found one locally that would road test and review a potential purchase for $135.

It's true. Mods are worth pennies on the dollar spent. Stock cars usually sell easier than modded ones. Many folks here would rather buy a clean stock one and do the mods that they happen to want.

We are interested in your car (we have an 01 TDI sedan & are looking to get a TDI wagon to replace a 93 Honda Civic hatchback - but are not in a huge hurry because the 93 runs great, can haul a lot believe it or not & routinely gets ~40 mpg) and have family that lives pretty nearby, so could come down & look it over. How quickly are you looking to sell? Kelly Blue Book puts it an 03 wagon in good condition at just under $10k w 34k mi & leather interior. What will you take for the car? Sounds nice.

So has anyone actually received a response on this?
Thanks!

nope, pmed him awile back

bump to the top

car is now for sale

It appears the car is maintained by Oilhammer(+), not many low mileage 03 wagons out there(+), 5spd(+), nice features(+), timing belt done preemptively(+). You gotta be kidding me this car is only worth 10k. These ALHs are way more economical to maintain over the long haul than anything since. If the interior and exterior matches the mileage, 13-14k would not be out of line.

If I still drove more than a couple of thousand miles a year I would already have bought this. OilHammer maintained, Fresh Belt/suspension/brakes. It's basically brand new. Would love to see pictures but if it has never been driving in rain or snow, it's got to be beautiful.

TDiTony (which I guess I should change to TDiLESSTony )
02 Jetta GLS Totaled Saturday
97 Passat GLS still for sale and no one interested.

think 15k is a little much for a 7 year old car but what do I know.

If I were him, I would start out high too, you never know he may get some takers. Otherwise he has some negotiation room.

It is a cruel irony that an older low mileage anything that has been well taken care of is still subject to a rather rapid decline in value. I think its because of the inability to finance such a purchase. With a higher price demanded and basicaly no financing alternative, you face an exponentially smaller market of potential buyers. All of these folks have to appreciate the value before them, and have cash. Most decide to take the cash and place it on a newer model, perhaps even a new model. Unless the car somehow becomes the target of collector's ('64 GTO?), which is rare, its best to roll the wheels off of one. Its the best way to get the return you seek on your investment. That being said, I would love to have it, but would not put that asking price into it. Oh, I agree completely on the mods - they take away and do not add. Give me stock. Last item - a 6 CD changer is so "1999" - we have to quit speaking of these as something desirable. Its a Bluetooth world now.

Complete and accurate description and good quality photography is essential. Why no pictures posted?

He sent pics to me, nice car.

Stand back! I'm headed out to get this bad boy on Friday.

FWIW I gave $2500 for a 98 Beetle with 230k on the clock. Insurance values it at 5500. I say your price is fair for a low mile wagon.

Just wanted to check back in. This car lived in Philadelphia for about 6 month, then Columbus Ohio for 5 years. It is now headed back to the St. Louis area for ~3 years.

Kool keep it forever!! Great car.
