I got a chance at purchasing a 94 Jetta 1.9 AAZ, good shape, its been painted, well maintained. The owner told me to make an offer on it. I don't want to make a too high offer thats more then its worth, but i don't want to screw the person over(he might be my boss). Would 650$ be a resonable price?
-
if you can get that car for 650$ you will be one lucky person. Depending on the status of the engine, but those cars can go anywhere from 3,000-7,000 respectively.
Without knowing exactly what condition everything is in on the car its hard to tell you what a resonable offer would be. 650$ IMO seems waaaay to low and he will most likely laugh at you. Doesn't hurt to try though :P
-
I think its a base model, nothing special to it. You think 3000 to 7000 for a 94??? for 7000 you can get a 2001 around here.

I couldn't get Kelly bluebook to acept your town and they don't show a diesel as an option on their used car private owner catagory but a base model gas 4 cyl is listed for around $1100 fair condition and around $1500 in good condition and I put in 200000 miles for mileage. This is for a Western Maryland zipcode. Depending on the engine condition and miles your price might be close and he at least shouldn't be too offended. Again Kelly didn't have the diesel as an option for some reason. :wink:

And some how I double posted when I tried to edit the first one :oops:
-
i just picked up a 1994 golf turbo diesel for 600 with 250.xxx on it 1 owner and i have had 10 offers on it since i bought it.....
-
haha wow i stand corrected. then again my passat 1.9TD only cost me 1000 lol
-
the reason why i got mine cheap is because the car wouldent start (crank over) i bump started it drove it home and changed the ground cables hahaproblem solved i even have the sale tage from when he bought it in july 93...he paid 18,225 canadian..and i added up the repair bills....14,114 in repairs...he way crazy about keeping my car in mint shape. the only reason why he sold it to me.....he bought a 2009 golf tdi...lucky guy....
-
if there are any repairs needed ie. windshield, floor, suspension, clutch or brakes and the car has more than 250xxx kms on it $650 is a good price, offer it to him the worst will happen is he'll say NO! :lol:
-
Bring cash thats what i do its a tottally different story when they see the money...as they say..."money talks and bullsh!t walks" lol!!
-
In Edmonton that's a $3K - $5K car, assuming it's in good shape. Diesel VW prices are still nuts here.
Some guy was asking $18K on Kijiji for a 1981 Caddy that "needs some work". :cry:
-
Sounds like a 3k to 5k car for these parts as well. All depends though.
I'd talk with him some more to try and get a feeler of what he wants for it. No need offending your potential boss.
-
when you do go see him about price, have cash as mentioned, and ask what needs to be done to the car, my guess is that if you are going to offer $650 there must be something you suspect so be ready to back up any potential repairs with cost of repairs.
Sounds like a 3k to 5k car for these parts as well. All depends though.
true, here too, but for that amount it must be perfect, rustproofed and very well maintained.
if this is to be your future boss, be honest with him, tell him what you can afford and see if he will " let it go " at that price to help you out.
PS: I got my '97 Jetta for $700 and ran it a year before I put money in it, it had 300k on it and burned oil.

I tried to check the Autotrader.ca site for VWs in NB, and the oldest listed is 2001. Does nobody in NB advertise older cars on their site? In Ontario they range from $695 for a "parts car only" to $9900. Note that the Ontario site doesn't allow you to use keywords anymore so you can't restrict to diesels.

I will go there with cash, It was a fleet car, but never beating(I know that for a fact). I don't believe there is any repairs that need to be done. Well thanks for all the help....Anyone want to buy a truck for 650??? lol
-
You'd be pretty hard pressed to find one of those cars in good shape for under 3k. When I was shopping for a '93-'97 Jetta TD in the spring last year most of them I looked at were advertised for 4-5k, and some of them were pretty rough. I ended up settling for a '94 with 215,000 km, very little rust in the body or floor for $3350 as is. The diesels will easily go for $1000 over gas models. Obviously if it's rough or has high kms, say 300 or more, the prices will start to drop.
I would think that in NB the prices would be the same as central Ontario if not higher.
-
don't forget tho that diesel prices are still 25 cents more a liter than gas so millage cost per km are about the same... this makes diesel less desirable to many buyers, thus dropping the sell price.
-
Hmm, I paid £600 for mine and have spent a bit more on springs, water pumps etc. I think that was a bit pricey for here tbh.
-
I think if people are charging more then 2000 for a 94, they are over charging, i only paid 1000 for my 96 KM3, and it was low mileage.
-
True..last year around here I finally had to ask one seller what he was smoking. I was looking for a parts car and some folks were playing the fear-mongering on the price of fuel (gas was 1.30/L and diesel was 1.46/L); small car prices were going crazy too. I watched a old Geo Metro whose wet dream would have been to pass the safety; go for $1500. It was worth $50. Maybe. Needed at least another thou put into her if that guy did the work himself.
My old advice I tell anyone who asks is this: Doesn't really matter what you paid for it if you're happy with it....
-
He have a couple used dealers lke that around here...I saw a 04 echo woth 87,000km on it scratched, and a big dent in it...8,000$ while i go 3 km down the road and buy a 09 Accent for 9K...where is the sence in that
-
So I made my offer...and he turned it down he wants about 2500 for it...
-
i bought my '94 golf with aaz in october '07 for $7000AUD. but, its a rare car in these parts.... a mk3 vr6 in good nick goes for 6-9k here, and a standard GL will go for 5-6.
mine only had 130,000km on it and was and still is in great condition...
i always say a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
