I can buy a 1999 VW passat For 1900. It needs a rear bumper cover, trunk lid, RH Tail light and both front park lights. It has 127k miles and most options, alloy wheels, tip-tronic Auto, moonroof, 1.8 turbo. Engine light is on, but car runs fine. Because of damage has salvage title. Any help would be great, i really just dont know if it would be worth putting money into.|||Well i own close to 40 different vw's you could part out the car very easily. each sensor is worth around 300 dollars, the motor and turbo is worth alot.. The car to fix would not be that much. It all depends if you doing it yourself.the hood is worth 266 bucks new in canada..light *** is 250 bucks... bumper cover is 250 bucks..truck lid is 310 bucks.. so it aint that bad.. normely that car sells for around 9000 bucks in premium condition|||Offer them 1500, but 1900 is a good deal. Buy it but try and work them|||This car will be more trouble that it is worth. It will be a money pit.
Avoid this "deal". It's not worth the headache.
Body parts are expensive, the body work alone, unless you have the knowledge and the tools to do it yourself will be several thousand dollars. The engine work could be equally as much. At 127K miles it will probably need a new turbo and timing belt (over $2,000 right there). You'll probably put close to $6000 into this car before you ever get to drive it. ($2k for the car, $2500 for the bodywork and paint job and possibly another $1500 for engine work)
Plus it's 10 years old. If it was only 4 years old, maybe, but an old turbo Passat with high miles isn't an expensive car to begin with.
