I want this, but can't afford it right now. I seriously want a TDI for myself after driving the fiancee's all the time, LOL!


Good luck selling it! Shouldn't take too long....

good looking car. You are gonna have only one problem selling your car.... the same problem I have....you drive it! Mine has 229000 on it and I'm trying to trade it on several Mark V's I've liked, but I even had one VW dealership tell me that they wouldn't even take it in as trade in! Good luck with the sale and the wheels look great!

 

[the yoda]

If it doesn't sell it will be fine with me, i'll keep driving it!

bumping it up

 

[Harvieux]

Yoda, You mention a MAFS DTC. I noticed that there is no camshaft replacement specified in your service/repair history. Not in any way meant as a bash to your sales quest but, a look at the cam may be in order and may explain the MAFS DTC due to restricted valve opening issue which in turn triggers an air flow differential being detected via MAFS signal provided to ECU.

If it's any constellation, your asking price is still excellent due to what seems like a good and competent service history. Later!

 

[the yoda]

Thanks for the advice!

Dropping the price

 

[the yoda]

well looks like Harvieux was right!! It drove and ran perfect until tonight. Experiencing what seems to be the cam issue. I'll update but if anyone wants to buy it with this issue I'll drop the price drastically

 

[Shastapk]

How drastically ?

 

[the yoda]

updated post

 

[Shastapk]

Dang, I'd be so tempted if it was a 5 spd. I don't think u will have trouble selling it tho.

 

[rotarykid]

Nice car but I would have to see pics of the cam and followers to see how bad the damage is before I make an offer

 

[Shastapk]

So worst case scenario rotarykid, what would a new cam, etc. cost? I'm out of this one cuz it's too far away and not a 5 spd. But I am searching for this same car. Sorry to hijack the thread, but I bet there is not a cheaper MK5 (not wrecked or motor trashed) out there.

 

[the yoda]

I have decided to put the necessary maintenance into the car. I updated the post. If anyone wants it, it will be ready to go!

 

[tactdi]

What is your asking price?

 

[RickCJ7]

What is your asking price?

if you check nada etc... you can see what its worth, I'd say anything under 10K would be a steal after all the work getting done.

 

[the yoda]

I will update when the car is done. I ordered the Bora Parts Deluxe Kit. And NGP Racing in Maryland is going to install the parts. Good people and they know what they are doing.

Geesh! After all that, don't you think it may be a good idea to consider keeping the fricken thing afterall? Later!

 

[the yoda]

Definitely a possibility of keeping it. The real reason I was selling it was for a 5 speed. I'll update the post when it's complete

 

[the yoda]

Well the car is fixed and is running great! I put a price up there and am going to see if there is any interest still other wise I will just keep it if I can't get what I really want out of it.

[the yoda]

Just changed the oil bump...the price is neg. and I might accept a trade for a 5 speed. MK4 and MK5 only though.
