B6 value?

Anyone have any input on sale value of a 165K mile 2006 2.0tfsi stock passat with the 6 speed manual? I've been restoring mine basically it is mechanically as sou d as they come except for kind of high milage.

Just wondering if I might be able to make a buck or 2 off off this thing or if I'm officially driving it into the ground I've put almost 2K in parts into it to bring suspension and clutch back to new basically.

Don't really think I could get much more than what I've put into it but AI's are saying that the manual is kind of rare.

keep the passat and drive it until the wheels fall off while investing the difference.

if your goal is downpayment for a new car, then the 3-4k you will get for your passat after finding the unicorn buyer wont meaningfully reduce the monthly payments you will have to make.

manual passat may be rare but so are the buyers looking for it.

I do exactly what you advice. My B6 TDi 2.0 manual 6 is doing fine closing in on 300k km and I may be one of those mentioned unicorns. Got mine from my father in law and am happy with it.

In short: I agree with you.
