I bought this car brand new from Lindsay VW in Dulles, VA. I moved back here in October, and this is the only winter it has been in Buffalo, and it’s certainly been a weak one.
I have driven it all around the east coast (literally) and have never had a single problem with it. I have done regular maintenance (Tires, brakes, filters, plugs, oil etc) but other than that this car has needed nothing at all.
This thing has never even had a CEL(Check Engine Light) – Imagine that. On a VW.
Details:
~116k miles
170hp 2.5L Inline 5 cyl - Gets ~31mpg
5-spd Manual
New pads/rotors
Plugs, filters, etc done last at 98k
Oil changed with Castrol Syntec(OEM Oil) + OEM Filter every 5k
17" GTI Denver wheels w/Hakkapeliitta RSi Snow tires
Comes with 15" Steelies + Hubcaps also
GTI 6-disk/mp3 radio with Aux input
GTI Leather center arm rest
Brand New set of GTI Monster mats
Sorry about the wetness in the pics. I had just washed it and it took forever to drip dry in this cold.
Here are the blemishes:
- I had an idiot room-mate who leaned across my drivers seat to get groceries out off the passenger seat when it was 3-weeks old. Ash fell off his cig and it caused this. Has not expanded/gotten worse at all since then.
2)This year on opening day for deer at 6:30am I was leaving my dads house and two shit-head deer ran out in front of me. I swerved and missed the first one but the second one ran head-first into the side of the car(I hope he broke his own fuckin neck). Its not bad damage at all, but it did scrape the paint and put a little almost un-noticable dent in the side.
Scratch -
Dent -
- There is a chip at the very front of the hood that has a little surface rust. Its about 1/4 the size of a dime.
If these blemishes really bother you I’m sure a body shop could fix them relatively cheap – This was a great commuter car and I used it as such, so it never really bothered me.
Looking for $7850. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
