Hello,    I have a 03 Jetta Gas 20valve turbo.

My timing belt broke and bent all the exhaust valves.    The car has 137,000 miles on it, and is still in new condition. I want to sell the car

My question is would it be better to sell it as is, or fix the engine.   Its gonna cost alot to fix the engine, but i know that its worth more fixed, but i dont really have the money to put into it right now.
What do you think it is worth either way.

Thanks for your advise.
DAVE

See what their going for in the paper, see what the
engine will cost to repair, then deduct the engine cost
from the price, and you will have to give a little more
off just because it's broke. it's not worth much, not running.
