If it's uber clean, it'll fetch about $3k here. It's one of the turbo versions, i.e. less of a turd.

If it's got notable rust on it (can tell from about 50 feet away), price drops to about $2500, as long as everything else is clean.

Literally the lowest price that's average for a FIXABLE version (average guy with a home depot tool set) is about $1200. for that particular car.

Golfs of the same vintage go for closer to the $1200 or less mark because they're all NA and SLOW. The Jetta TD, one step up from your turbo version, and with 92HP, I've seen them in perfect condition go for up to $5000. That's showroom condition and less than 150k, though. As described, I'd be asking conservatively $2100 for it. Makes a good jump off point, you can afford to come down a few hundred when the buyer inevitably notices a crack in the tire's sidewall, etc.
