imho, you qould be getting a good deal either way. I personally have a little experience with transimissions, and a rebuild on just about any is a straightforward process. also, even if the tranny is completely gone, you would cut the labor by doing it yourself as a trained mechanic. VW's are good cars in general, and in the case that the rest of the car is in a rather working and usable condition, i wouldnt be afraid of turning a few wrenches to get the car goin on all gears again. just my .02, others may feel differently. (But my opinion matters!) lol

No Reverse? as in when you put it into gear it does nothing or as in you cant find it? Believe me people have not been able to find it. just making sure :P

Just rebuild it yourself, or go to a junk yard and pull one out just to drive the car around.  Either way you're gonna need reverse some point of your life..lol
