I need to know before 11/1/11 if you are interested in this car. I am deciding if I should fix it or not, and if there is no interest by the 1st, I'll know what to do.

Car has 228,000 miles on it. Hit a deer on the interstate. Damage to the hood, passenger fender, passenger door, and passenger headlight. Has Upsolute chip, Race pipe, and Mufflerectomy. VR6 Clutch upgrade. See pictures. Email for more info tyhopp02@yahoo.com.

All parts are available aftermarket or used locally for $450 total. Got prices from www.car-part.com and www.autopartswarehouse.com.

Asking $2500.

Thanks.

hmm...there is a junkyard by my house with a blue jetta and a blown engine. If only you were closer :)

Just out of curiosity, is it driveable in is current condition?

Drive it man. Go all Mad Max. WGAF what it looks like. Why sell if it gets you where you want to go?

I concur. If replacement repair parts are only $400, (and even if installation takes you all of two days) I think you'd be nuts to not repair it.
But, if you were thinking of selling before the venison violence, then sell it as-is.

Sorry guys, I decided to keep it. I found matching parts at a junk yard locally. I'm going to drive it while I look for a TDI with fewer miles. Then it'll be for sale.
