Can't save it, Once it enters a salvage yard in Michigan the title is destroyed and it is cataloged as scraped and cannot ever be titled again.....Mich law

My limited knowledge of how to "title scrub" would be to sell it to someone in a no-title state (around here, that's RI, if it's over 10 years old), a bill of sale will get you a new one. THough the paper trail is there and could screw you at any time.

Looks like a major front passenger hit though, not worth it for an old 4 door Golf, as sad as it is

[MKVmyfast]

Wish it was closer I would save it in a heart beat and just drive it with my shop repair plates till I get caught

If I were closer I'd pick it up and let it sit on my dad's farm until I found resources to make it work again.. It's not that hard to get a vehicle re-titled in VA (when title is missing) not sure about a scraped one though..

[ddavis15710]

That's why you bring it down to ohio and get a salvage title.

[ddavis15710]

I'm thinking about selling my blue base... I just replaced the clutch and yanked on the wiring alittle to hard or something but the car wont start now... it cranks but its a no go.. offers? I'm in ohio, near dayton

[vwharlequin]

You should have him get the VIN for the registry!

The vehicle was already recorded on rossvw, its number 127 of 200

whats the name of the yard?

If anyone is interested, the yard is Gene's Auto Parts, Traverse City, MI Phone No. 1-888-228-9373 and the Stock No. for the car is 2D8808

Last 6 of the VIN on that one in the scrap yard is 113445. I called and he will sell the car as as whole, has motor in it, 5 speed, tranny was sold, ignition was sold, all the seats are in it, driver seat is junk. 103k miles on it. Rear struts sold obviously. And the car does not have a scrap title. He can sell it.

[VWKW]

More work than the car is worth.

[ClownCar139]

Yeah. Would love to save it but I bet it wouldn't be worth the time and money to actually get it. Which sucks.

How much is he asking for it?

[X37]

If it was in NorCal id pick it up and swap everything from my car into it.

[ClownCar139]

You just have to offer him. Which I would have to see it in person before I offered a price.

[VWKW]

Not worth more than $400. You're going to spend at least a grand in re straightening the frame rail. Then figure in the cost of repairing the rest of the car. Just to get it back on the road in crappy condition I'd bet you'd have 3 to 4k into it.

I'm selling my Ginster Yellow base Harlequin. It has 134,000 miles on it and it is the Ginster Yellow base color. Asking $12,500 for it. It is number 137 out of 200 according to rossvw.com. The car is in great condition mechanically and aesthetically, a lot of effort was put into keeping the paint in pristine condition with regular washing and waxing. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions you may have, (serious buyers only).

Looks like he dropped the price to $9000

Yep, $9000 now

[VDub2625]

Just curious, and you don't have to answer, but what did you pay for it, $2000 at the most?

[77kafer]

You know, it pretty much doesn't make any difference what he paid for it ! If he bought it new, the sticker price was 15,500.

Thanks, that's only 2 hrs away. I wonder how much he'd let the seats go for...

Did Harlequin's ever come with sunroofs?

[Foxtrot]

They are not supposed to have.. but there are a couple on RossVW that have them. But the could be dealer installed or aftermarket.

[harlequin80]

I've completely lost motivation to work on mine. Maybe I should just sell it now

You dont want it. It is a bare shell. No interior (seats were sold to clowncar, upper trim was done in black and given to a friend), no hatch, no motor...

Even as it sits I wouldnt sell it cheap lol

[ClownCar139]

Hiiii, I've got Kris's seats

I feel bad I should've brought you my rusty hatch.

I should have sold it when it was running. I had an offer of $3500 cash and turned it down.

It would have to be an offer that would be stupid to turn down lol

[MKVmyfast]

Well if you ever decide to get rid of her just let me know I have everything I need plus more to build another mk3

No one would pay what it would take for me to consider gettin rid of it.
Lol, unless they are just desperate for a harlequin and have money to blow and don't care about its condition.
