Any ideas? Thanks!|||Depends on the maintenance history. I've got an '01 Golf TDI with 162,000 miles on it (260kish kms) and I feel I'd be pretty lucky to get $6,000 out of it. If your timing belt has been done recently and all of the other maintenance is pretty up to date, I'd guess around $5,000. Wait until fuel prices rise a little more and the value of your car will continue to rise. I'm talking USD here, Canadian prices are pretty similar as far as I know.|||It is worth what you can get for it. So check the newspapers around your area and see what private sales are asking. Car lot prices are inflated and most times they are expecting a "trade in vehicle" so they automatically cover the loss there. It also depends on your town and whether there are a lot of people in search of good older TDI's. Go out and see some of the private sales(to see what they are asking for the quality of vehicle they are selling) So yeah, you have to go like you are in the market to buy the car. Draw your conclusions from that.
Me, I am not looking for that type of vehicle.....so it has a value of zero.|||ever try kelly blue book? www.kbb.com real simple

Does anyone out there understand and translate latin?
i have three written passages that i need translating.
i've been trying for months with no success, so can anyone out there help me,
the 1st is:- tempus edax rerum
the 2nd is:- si quid habet mammas vel rotas, res habebis dificiles aliquando
the 3rd is:- venient annis saecula seris quibus oceanus vincula rerum laxet, et ingens pateat tellus. tethysque novos detegat orbes, nec sil terris ultima thule.
now please, this is a serious question for a project so no jokers with stupid and lame answers please.|||Here are all three translations. Do you love me now? ;-)
Tempus edax rerum
"Time, the devourer of things" -- Ovid [1]
Si quid habet mammas vel rotas, res habebis dificiles aliquando
"If it has t*ts or wheels, it makes life difficult" -- No literary reference for that one, I'm sorry to say ;-) [2]
Venient annis saecula seris quibus oceanus vincula rerum laxet, et ingens pateat tellus. tethysque novos detegat orbes, nec sil terris ultima thule.
"Late in time shall come an age, when Ocean shall unbar the world, and the whole wide earth be revealed, and Tethys shall show forth a new world, nor Thule be earth's limit any more." [3]|||I just want to say, Amar, I love you! I took Latin from 6th to 10th grade, and I was stumped! You rock!|||Alta Vista has a language translation tool....good luck|||this is your project you should be doing the research, you'd learn more that way

What are aluminium drop outs?
I just got a Thule Bike Rack and the User Guide reads: "Do not install bicycles equipped with front forks made from carbon fiber". I emailed the Thule Company and they said that my bike should have aluminium drop outs. Well here is the deal... I have not purchased the bike yet. I'm still looking for the one I want, but I'm sure it will be equipped with front forks made from carbon fiber.
So what are aluminium drop outs?|||the things at the end of the fork, that the wheel actually goes into
these should be metal, not carbon fiber
which i think is usually the case with carbon forks anyway
the ends are usually metal, bonded to the carbon
i think
right?

What role does the Skulls(a secret society of influential men) actually play in our government?
Our current president is a member of this society..The Brotherhood of Death Society in the United States is the Skull and Bones
Society in Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Its belief structure is identical
to that of the Thule Society. Therefore, we can conclude that Bones Men affirm this
belief about Jesus Christ, thus condemning them to committing the Unpardonable
Sin. The list of some of the Families comprising Skull and Bones is frightening, for
271
it immediately shows the extent to which America has been influenced by this
Satanic organization. Remember, the men of these families have likely committed
the Unpardonable Sin. (Quoting from Antony Sutton, "America's Secret
Establishment", p. 22).
Rockefeller Family (Standard Oil), Weyerhaeuser Family (Lumber), Sloane Family
(Retailing), Pillsbury Family (Flour Milling), J.P. Morgan Family (Banking), Taft
Family (Politics), Bush Family, including former President George Bush.|||very interesting.
I think it just makes old men feel like they still have a tree house to hang out in.|||This is just a small part of a much grander scheme.
Check out The Bilderberg Society and the Freemasons or the Illuminati and New World Order.
They all go hand in hand and it goes all the way back to The Knights Templar.

Rear-high mounted cycle carriers, has anyone got any helpfull advise?
I am looking to get a rear high mounted cycle carrier for my Skoda estate car. I have seen 2 that interest. The argos has a Mont Blanc universal carrier at 拢49, or Thule have one for 拢109. I would like to know if anyone knows about these or any other carriers and can you open your boot with either of these on. The Thule looks like it will enable me to open the boot, but am not sure.
Any advise will be well apreciated :)|||We have a Skoda estate and cycle carrier from Halfords. It is supposed to hold 3 bikes but feels dead dodgy with more than 2 on there. My golden rule - developed from years of experience is that if it is from Argos then it will be cut price Cr**p, that won't last. The best carriers I've seen are the ones that attach to the towing bracket. I wish we had gone for one of these even if they are a bit more expensive. To answer your question I would go for the Thule. I don't think it will allow you to open the boot with bikes attached, but as the other respondent mentioned you could give them a call before buying it.|||See whether the straps that go into the rear door have "dumbell" plastic shapes for the strap end, or whther they have some "hook" shapes.
Dumbell shapes are only trapped in the closed door, and will fall out if the door is opened.
You want the type that hook on the door, not the type that get trapped in the closed door.
Also when you're fitting the carrier, don't have the bottom bar resting on the bumper, ensure it is higher up, so that this does not prevent the door opening.
To be double sure, you can telephone each store's helpline.|||I bought one in France it hooks over top bottom and sides similiar , they are not the best fitting inthe world and need to be checked and double checked , and checked on the road . Great for motorway driving then remove the bikes at your destination . Would not recommend opening the boot but it is possible if necessary but loaded with the bike it needs care as if allowed to bang closed could smash the rear windscreen , it has never happened to me but it is a fear. Having said that I have used mine carefully for eight years with no problems . Look at tow bar mounted ones .

Anybody know if a 2001 OEM roof rack will fit other year/models?
I have a roof rack that came off of a 2001 Audi A6. It is a Thule Original Equipment rack, so Thule provided no help at all. I was wondering if anybody knew of the base system and feet will fit any other years and/or models.|||That body style ran from 1998-2004 and had minimal changes so the roof rack will fit those years.
