Call a couple of VW junkyards and ask them what they would pay you for
it.  Here is a big one:  http://campbellnelsonvw.com, they might bid on
it even if it is in the SE.  Try your local yards too.  Are you trying
to buy it back from the insurance company?  If so, the auction price
should have nothing to do with that, they should give you a price based
on a percentage of a value determined by a survey of recent sales of
similar, but intact, vehicles.

BTW, what is a "hold and bid?"
