[Vwdiesel] Question

[Erik Lane]

I'm not a good judge of their worth, but they still seem to be listed for
quite a bit in this area, so with all the work done on it he could ask for
$4-5000 and maybe even get it. It's hard to say for sure what they're
actually going for. I would guess a bit higher than $1000 (maybe $2000-2500)
even if it looks rough because of all the work done on it. People around
here seem to be very interested in getting the high mileage and using
biodiesel. This is the greater Portland, OR area. Someone who's looking for
that would be very interested in having it mechanically sound. With that
said it's still very hard to ever get all your money back out of a car when
you fix it up nice like that. Good luck!
