NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES. THERE IS A LIEN ON THE TITLE SO NO TRADES.
Item Description:

Well, the time has come for me to generate some interest on my GTI. I don’t have a really good reason to sell it, and I plan on staying in the Volkswagen/ Audi family. It’s just time for something different. The car has a few issues, I’ll be removing them from the section below as I get them fixed.

Car has 104,XXX Miles

The Bad:

-Passenger Side front fender is messed up. Won’t sit flush with the front bumper. It would be easiest to just get a new fender than try and fix this one. It’s not AWFUL, but it bugs me.
-R32 front bumper is cracked, but not all the way through. A little bondo and bodywork could have it looking brand new. I'll try and get more pictures of this since it happened pretty recently.
-Passenger Side rear fender is peeling paint. Could use a re-spray.
-Currently having a boost issue. Only boosting at 7-8 pounds. I know it’s something stupid and simple that I just haven’t had time to find.
-Driver side Inner CV Boot needs changed. I have the part.
-Hood has a crease in the upper corner on the driver side. Most people wouldn’t even notice unless I point it out.
-Rear bumper has a decent gash in it. Just needs to be re-painted.
-Body could be better. It’s an 8-year-old car. It has its share or dings, scratches, and nicks.

So, with all of that being said, there is a fairly extensive mod list. I’m sure I’m still forgetting stuff, and will update it accordingly when I remember.

Pics: 

If you run a carfax, you will see that the vehicle was in an accident in September of last year. It happened literally 2 hours after I had bought it. To make a long story short, a ratchet strap fell off the back of a flat bed semi-truck, destroyed my oil pan, and cracked the transmission. So because of this the car has a brand new transmission, clutch, and pressure plate in it with 20k-ish miles since I’ve bought it.

So there it is. If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them or send me a PM.

thanks Drew. I like your GLI as well :D The seats are technically for sale, if I keep the car.

hmmm…

How do you like your Tsudo exhaust 

why

damn ya there are so many mixed reviews on that exhaust its like half in half. I was actually thinking about getting it and welding on a magnaflow muffler to try help with the ricer sound i keep hearing about it gives off at around 3k.

thanks QM, i will surely miss it, but I need it gone.

Buyer is now saying his bank needs a down payment.

Back up for sale.

It's based on the amount that he takes out. He needs $2000 apparently. I called his bank to verify and he wasn't lying. His friend text me asking me for the VIN and he said he had cash and might just come get it for him.

The car is still for sale until I've got money in my hand.
