I think you have routine maintenance plus a DPF. I come up with a little over $2000 in parts if done DIY, more than half is the DPF. Probably 4 solid days DIY labour.
If you don’t want to pay $5-6000 for someone else to do the work, then keep it or if you don’t think you could absolutely sell at a profit once maintenance is completed, then I think you should just sell as is for whatever you can get.

Dude don't blow smoke, parts for all this stuff is way more than 2 grand, and if you aren't a pro vw mechanic with all the crazy special tools, and a garage space to do all this stuff in, just the 3 major repairs aren't a diy project for anyone.

 

[Wilkins]

I’m only an amateur, but I’ve done all those repairs myself quite successfully. I can also look up parts prices.

An amateur, but with all the tools, a garage, and the savvy to do all these repairs. I think you're underselling yourself. And apparently someone's underselling their parts!

No he's got the parts pricing pretty correct, go look for yourself... A dpf direct from idparts themselves is 1045 USD... The other parts are not that expensive

Yes, the CJAA thermostat is pricey. 2.7hr labor, plus the part itself, plus I always do the plastic pipe that can break. Maybe not quite 800, but not far off. Timing belt is closer to 1100.

Dealer would generally be the most expensive place to have these done.

Of course, the DPF is even more.

Do you have the PN for that plastic pipe?

I am going to be replacing the thermostat next month as I will be in there putting a oil cooler on... Might as well replace the decade old plastic pipe too, to make sure I am in good standing
