I have an opportunity to trade a AR for a 06 VW with a new clutch and flywheel, but it needs a new cam shaft and lifters. I think the valves are good but I didn't do the tare down, The rifle is worth about 1200 with ammo (yea its a cheapie) and the stealership (vw) wants 7k to fix. My question to you guys is is it worth doing the trade and either doing it myself (keep in mind I'm mechanically inclined but not a mechanic) or finding a mechanic cheaper to do it? It has 186 on the clock and supposedly has had 2 timing belts done (says the owner).
What say ye?
