Sounds a little on the low side, but not by much especially if you get to
keep the car.

You can always pull some of the more desirable parts and store them for
future sale:

-Intake manifolds (drivers side intakes needed for a1 16v conversions)
-Cylinder head
-Distributor
-Close ratio Transaxle
-Half-shafts, Alternator, Radiator, etc... (in case you get another VW)
-10.1 front brake calipers and pad carriers
-Rear brake calipers, pad carriers, maybe the spindles too
-Unharmed doors
-Body kit parts
-Grille
-Interior pieces in good shape (uncracked dash?, gauge cluster)
-CIS-E & Knock sensor computers and wiring harnesses
-16v Tail lights
-Fuel mixture/Air flow sensor unit
-etc...

A lot of this stuff is not very big, but most of it would really pack
a closet, or a storage locker...just a thought.

good luck.
