I posted this a few weeks ago, but I figured I’d post it one more time before I part it out. I got it off auction with the intention of pulling the engine for a project and parting out the rest of the car. After purchasing the car I discovered it’s super rare (only about 500 were ever sold in the us). I hate to part out such a rare car so I’m trying to sell it instead.

It has its fair share of problems but it runs and drives; I think i’ve put about 40 miles on it since I got it. The majority of the features seem to work such as 18 way adjustable seats (except the forward and backward on the passenger seat for some reason), messaging seats, heated and cooled seats, vent covers, etc. Some things that don’t work include the ac (it blows just not cold), the parking sensors (they seem to function but will falsely go off because of the bumper damage I think), and the air suspension. Someone replaced the air suspension with coilovers which is sad but certainly cheaper than fixing broken air suspension.

I’m located in Ohio, asking $6k with $4k being my absolute lowest. 120k miles with a clean title.

Was so hard to find one of these in a place where there's winters, but so glad I finally did.

Last Saturday I bought my new VW Golf 8 2021 to replace my Golf 6, after alot of research couldn't be more happy with it!

(The new one in the front , and the Golf 6 In the back! )

Hello everyone! I am a first time driver, and I am planning on buying a car. I saw a 2011 1.4 TSI Scirocco with 245,000km(154,000 miles) on it. It is a little damaged, pictures below. I was wondering if this is a good price on it, and how much the repairs would be. I am a full time student(my dad is a mechanic so I would only be worried about price of parts.) Thank you!

Glue on this Vaico diesel fuel filter failed. There was glue floating in the filter housing. I was able to pull the filter media apart without much restriction. Glue feels like goo.

r/TDI believes it failed because I went over the service interval by 6k miles. The fuel filter was in the car for 10 months. I feel like regardless of how long I ran this, the glue shouldn’t be deteriorated by the fuel it is filtering.

Im not the only one who went to see the Gridlock Volkswagen Car show on Governors Island. I have seen Volkswagen Things in the city, but these two were in such pristine condition, they looked new.

6 speed GTI SE PP. Really fun so far! Anything I should worry about or do? It’s at 107k miles and I’m already getting a metal oil pan.

Walked out of my house and glanced at my ‘61 15 window, and a ‘63 Standard was sitting next to her, the owner taking a picture of the two.

Got a pretty bad sagging headliner that’s fixing to get replaced. I’m looking to do it myself. Anyone know a good site to purchase the fabric online? And does anyone know what color fabric this is?

This is for a 2012 Mk6 Golf (base model)

I was considering a Kylaq Classic Plus AT Lava Blue, instead negotiated a killer price on the Virtus.

My options/considerations:

I was quoted:
- ~ 19.3 lakhs for Virtus GT Plus 1.5 DSG
- ~16 lakhs for Virtus 1.5 Manual (Diwali last year, post-negotiation, right before it got discontinued)
- ~13.5 lakhs for Kylaq Prestige Manual (without negotiation)
- ~10.5 lakhs for Kylaq Classic Plus AT.
- ~11.5 lakhs for top-end i20 N-line (without negotiation)
- 13.82 lakhs for this Virtus HL AT (post-negotiation)

My approach:

- Personally loved the Octavia Mk4 in the used market but couldn’t convince family for a used car after a previous experience.

- I enjoy the 1.0 in Kylaq but don’t like the looks much.

- I liked the i20 for its performance characteristics but don’t trust Hyundai’s build and don’t like its road presence.

- I like the 1.0 TSI but wasn’t convinced to spend anything more than 14-15 lakhs on it.

- Test drove both the 1.0 and the 1.5 back to back and didn’t feel a practically perceivable difference in city limits (where I’ll drive this car)

- Pulled off this great negotiated price on the Virtus after visiting the VW showroom twice, loved the deal. Couldn’t get it any lower as there’s 40% tax on the Virtus, but I was satisfied.

- 5.5 lakh jump didn’t seem worth it for the 1.5 DSG.

So here it is!! What do you think about it?

About me:

-> I am a hardcore tech and car nerd, and keep reading about them in depth avidly. The Indian spec 1.5 TSI doesn’t get VGT, or many ‘fancy’ things I care about. It gets better electronic thermal management system, polymer coating on crankcase and plasma coated cylinders, all of which didn’t fascinate me much because I own an XUV700 Diesel AT AX7 as well.

-> I have previously owned an XUV500 Diesel, Vento 1.6 TDI and a Stage 2 Baleno, genuinely loved all of them for their unique characteristics and charm.

-> Got 100% TPU PPF done on this from detailing devils for just a little under 65k.

-> I love exclusivity and I am planning to eventually make this car my own by doing personalised mods to it. Let’s see how that goes!
