As many of you know I have been fighting with a local dealer after purchasing a W8.
My question is do you think the car is worth the money or do I cut my loses and take the money 'n run? Edited by KenBIII - 03-Nov-2014 at 19:11 |

I think it's a bit high for a 2003 Passat, but I have seen some listed for sale for more than that. I think it could go either way, just depending on if you like the car enough to put money into it or if you don't like the car and just want to cut your loses.

I voted "yes" for the simple reason that you're going to be very hard-pressed to find an equal of the W8 for the price. These cars can be expensive to own and maintain, but there's a lot more to it than price or we'd all be driving Honda Accords, I think.
Anyway for me the price would be worth it, but it's just my opinion. As a possible data point, I bought my car almost 3 years ago with more miles than that for $10k. |

I got my 03 passat w8 a couple months ago with 69k for $7,000. So that seems high to me, but these cars are very hard to find in good condition so its really your call

The book value of your car is $12,000+ so I voted yes.
However, the fun value of a W8 is worth a lot too, another reason I voted yes. |

Where did you get that value? I have been looking for a place to get realistic prices because KBB, AT, etc. all value the car at like $7,000 |

I am confused as to how this car can be so expensive to own. Other than the engine it shouldn't be that different than the V6 4Motion, right? What causes this car to be "Lambo or Ferrari" expensive? I have no problem putting money in the car but I don't have that much so I want to make sure I have the $$$ to put into it in order to make it worth owning. |

oof..now that is putting me $1,200 over the value if I go through witht the repairs. But then I will have the major $$$ problem fixed since the W8 is chain driven. |
