    2003 Jetta TDI Part Out (only 105K miles)

    Don't give him a hard time for parting it out. Nobody wants one here in the east. No rust. Clean. Bent valve. Heck, the seats don't even look like they've been sat in. I've been trying to sell off for 5 months now, but no one wants it. Hate to see a clean ALH go myself. But I'm not...

    To swap or not to swap - manual/auto

    Andy, sales post is here. We've dropped to $3500. Looking around, looks high in comparison. Though I'd argue the condition of the car should help excuse the price difference with others <$3000. It looks like the prices have dropped overall by 20-25% after the VW inspection fiasco.

    Bump for another round. These cars are not in bad shape! We owned the 2002 for 11 years and the 2001 for 3. Bought the latter off coworker (lady) who worked beside me at work.

    Black 2001 TDI with 5-speed, bad motor, Raleigh NC - $1800

    Thanks for the honest opinion, though I would hope you were wrong too! Agree that TDI prices have somewhat fallen, though they were even slightly up a few months ago. Seeing the stable low gas prices would impact that. In one way, it's sad. Was wondering how long the A4 TDIs would be...
