2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen S — Candy White over Gray
Here's the headline, first line, no burying it: this SportWagen has a replacement engine, installed by our own shop, that came out of a donor vehicle with roughly 25,000 miles on it. The odometer reads 123,873. The engine turning under the hood does not. That's an unusual thing to lead a listing with, and it's exactly why we're leading with it — because it's the single most important fact about this car, and you should get it from us rather than find it later. Everything below explains what we did, what we spent, what the CARFAX shows, and what we'd want you to check yourself.

? WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING
? Passed our multi-point inspection and qualifies as a Dealer Certified Pre-Owned unit
? Replacement engine installed by our own team at Duluth Auto Service & Imports. The donor engine came from VIN 3VWPX7AJ6BM690120, a 2011 Jetta carrying roughly 25,000 miles. We're publishing the donor VIN so you can pull that vehicle's history yourself — ask and we'll send you the CARFAX on it. A dealer who won't tell you where a replacement engine came from is a dealer to walk away from.
? Full cooling and tune-up service completed with the engine work, also by our own shop: new water pump, new thermostat, new radiator, new spark plugs, new air filter, and a complete coolant flush. On a 2.5-liter five-cylinder, the cooling system is what kills the engine when it's neglected — so it was replaced, not inspected and passed along
? Estimated value of that engine and service work: $4,500 to $6,500 at dealer-level parts and labor rates. Because this was our own service department, that figure covers the full scope of the work
? OBDII scan performed: all drive monitors completed, zero stored or pending trouble codes. The scan results are in this listing's photos so you can read them yourself. On a car with a replaced engine, a completed-monitor readout with no codes is the proof that matters most — and it's why this car has already passed Georgia emissions inspection on 08/28/2026, at 124,025 miles, after the engine work
? Clean title, guaranteed by CARFAX. No salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail, or lemon brand on any owner, and no odometer brands
? No total loss, no structural damage, and no airbag deployment ever reported
? 24 service history records and 55 detailed records on the CARFAX, running from 2013 forward — a well-documented car
? Complete brake and tire overhaul in November 2024 at 109,803 miles: front pads and rotors, rear calipers, rear pads and rotors, brake master cylinder, brake fluid flush, and tires replaced. That's the other expensive system on this car, and it was done under the previous owner less than two years ago
? Prior Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, and CARFAX rates its 3-year reliability forecast as Good, citing low repair cost (about $360 a year on average for this model) and regularly performed oil changes
? Comes with one key and the original owner's manual books

?? REAL VALUE — WHAT THIS ACTUALLY COSTS YOU OVER TIME
We cross-check every vehicle against multiple independent sources, and on this one the sources do not agree, so we're going to show you that rather than quietly pick the best-looking number. Kelley Blue Book Typical Listing Price comes in at $5,925, the live market average at $5,959, and CARFAX History-Based Value at $6,600. The J.D. Power retail book is a significant outlier at $9,413, well above the other three — books like that often don't fully adjust for a 124,000-mile example, so we are not leaning on it.

The honest working market on this car is $5,925 to $6,600. Three of four
