Here is my dilemma.
After reading the threads about MKIV prices I’m not sure which way I want to go, fix my stock 94 NA or sell it to finance another car. What I’m looking for from the people who’ve done it, how much does it cost to bring a worn out daily driver back to almost new condition. I’m not considering any mods yet, I just want it to look as good as when I picked it up in 1993. I’m only driving about 5.5K/year now but the total mileage is 97.5K so it does a lot of sitting at the airport.
Here is the condition:
Tan leather interior: Dry, worn, cracked, ripped.
Carpet: some spots, might be salvageable.
Anthracite Coal paint: clear coat peeled, sun damaged.
Body: very few dings, no accident damage.
Mechanical: regular maintenance with no upgrades
At the very least I’ll need new paint & interior plus the various seals and gaskets for the sport roof, what other problems will I be looking at with a high mileage car?
If we (my wife gets a vote too) decide to sell it, how can I determine a fair asking price? The Blue book looks very low and I’m sure the local dealer would be glad to pay wholesale, what other sources are available?
Thanks
