Traded my 15 Golf Tdi about 3 months ago on a 21' Accord. Put my Accord in on Carvana last week and they are offered me $700 over MSRP for it, they are picking it up later this week.
And I am picking up a 2005 MK4 Jetta TDi Wagon 5 speed with the BEW engine.
Its high mileage (300k+ on body) but ran and drove pretty good today when I test drove it. He had a low mileage used engine put in it a little over 2 years ago. From the receipt the used engine had 108k on it and he had timing belt, water pump, front axles and a south bend clutch done at that time with receipts.
Car is all stock, passed emissions 3 months ago and safety inspection, we dont have emission where I live so I may delete egr and tune.
Pulled the carfax and it has never been in an accident and has a ton of service records on it up until 260k miles. Owner said he did the services since he has had it, about 3 years.
Picking it up later this week, going to have the local VW guru do a full inspection and see what needs to be replaced and have a full service done. It does need some TLC but I like it and the best part is it will be paid for with cash left to put a new 4L60e transmission in my 64 C10 from the sale of my Accord.
It needs tires and still has the 15" wheels, going to order a new set of wheels and tires from discount tire for it when I pick it up, either a 16 or 17 instead of the 15's. Then I will also likely replace the headlight/tail light housings and detail it really well.
Needs a headliner and the door panel cloth recovered, have a roll of fabric from my 87 C10 I can do them with. Also want to swap seats out for a black set and get a touch screen radio and add a backup camera later on.
