2006 Volkswagen Jetta

Leaking sunroof, mold in the cabin — can this Jetta still turn a profit?

Grey 2006 Volkswagen Jetta with a cracked windshield and a door open, parked on wet grass.

The story so far

I picked up this Jetta for $800 to open a new flipping series. It had been sitting with a leaking sunroof, and the cabin was covered in mold as a result. The 2.5L engine and six-speed Aisin automatic have about 170,000 km on them, but the real unknown is everything underneath: whether it runs properly, what has failed while it sat, and whether an $800 neglected Jetta can be brought back and sold on at a profit. The build is finished — the English episode is still on the way.

What comes next

There's no episode on this car yet. As soon as one is out, it'll show up right here.
