Hey guys. Just bought a GTI last week (first Volkswagen ever too), and wanted to see if this was a good deal. I love the car though, so personally it doesn't really matter, just curious. It's a tornado red 2009 GTI (TSI) and has 93,000 miles on it. It was a commuter car I'm pretty sure before I bought it, and they kept it in awesome shape! It does have 1 or 2 small issues with it that I need to fix (small chip in windshield, tear in passenger seat), but really nothing major just cosmetic. It does have heated seats and a sunroof. Pretty sure it's all stock (has an ECS tuning decal on the sunroof, but don't know if it means much). It has been awesome to drive so far! I have a 1998 BMW Z3 1.9L, which is a fun car to drive, but really has no power at all. I paid $10,900 for the car, and being a first time car buyer (bought the Z3 private with cash) the best I could do on financing was 8.4% at 66 months (which I didn't think was too bad). So I'll end up paying about $212 a month. It's awesome coming from a '98 car (even though it's a dimmer) to a 2009 car. Some of the most basic options on my VW seem huge since my bimmer doesn't have too many options. Don't know as of right now if I will do any mods to the VW. I'd love to mod my bimmer AND the VW, but am in school right now full time, so can basically only afford the payments and insurance and not much else for mods. Am planning on lowering the VW eventually, just don't know when.
Am definitely looking forward to being a part of the VW, specifically the GTI community.
