400,000klms?? You wouldnt expect to pay much at all...
you can buy a complete MK with 3.3 for $300 on ebay with 300,000klms on it.

turbo variant is a lot more desirable.
I think the SD33T is one of the really nice diesels out there, but I guess it is getting pretty old and the value must be getting lower, especially at 400,000 kms.

wouldnt waste my time on it.
Diffs are worth about 100 buks a pair and only good for spare cv and axles.
4 speed not worth anything. Perhaps it has a divorced tranny that someone is chasing one.
SD33 would only be worth the head if it hasnt had a hard life. 290k isnt a great deal of km though for these motors.
And you dont get any wheels either.
My 2c is its already over priced unless you specifically are looking for a divorced tranny or are desperate for a SD33
