Question For AutoBrag: My Car’s Trade-In Value

Question From J: I have a 2002 VW Passat, with 130,000 miles and some engine trouble (specifically an oil pressure problem). I am trying to trade it in for a new car. How much should I expect to get for it?
Thanks
Queen of the Road: Hi J. Welcome to our blog. Keep in mind that trading-in is almost always dissapointing. Offering prices are usually below what the car is really worth. I’ll dig around and find your car’s wholesale value.
Is your Passat a 4C, V6 or V8? Sedan or wagon? GLX, GLS or something else?

It is a 1.8T model, GLS w/ sun roof, power windows and locks, and an option for a 6 disk CD changer. Body is in great condition.
