Tick! Tick! Tick!...Crap!

Wednesday my Jetta suddenly developed a loud tick tick tick in 2nd gear...likely a chipped tooth in the tranny!  Damn!  Average cost to repair/replace starts at $1000 and likely would be a few hundred more.  I'm seriously thinking of parting the car out because to sell her whole (ask-is) I could only get a thousand or so.  Parting her out would get me close to two thousand or more.  Just really sucks because the car runs great and handles just as well but the body is in need of paint and the interior needs some refurbishing.

I wonder what my next used car should be...
