My jetta was under 2k. After putting on new tires initally and installing new included glow plugs. It has not needed any true repairs except a tail light bulb. 50 mpg is easy with it.

Could I spend more sure. The radio quit working and the tach never worked but it gets me where I am going.

I can't imagine that there is any more value in a vehicle than my Jetta. I don't need expensive insurance. Have no payment.
