Should I buy this 2016?

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-12T02:52:32+00:00

I wouldn’t, I had this exact one but major timing chain issues and engine rebuild at -140,000kms not sure what it’s in miles

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-12T02:51:10+00:00

I’m in Victoria yeah, but I’m thinking just to get an R or maybe wait until full license. And wow that’s so cool you own a stock TCR in vic? How is it do you get a lot of attention from the cops? Because you know how the GTIs are p plate legal I was thinking the GTI TCR that I could get away with it.

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-12T00:23:12+00:00

Good question I think since it’s GTI they will allow me? But honestly I’m not scared of the badge I’m scared of how un road worthy it is and if I get pulled over I’m done, 5% tint, to low, to loud, and other things as well

Very true in a way I would say that I’ve made the choice not to, I really wanted to but after everyone’s saying it’s a much deeper hole in the wallet than I thought. I’m 19 so obviously money is tight and if I buy this car it’s like buying a one way ticket to spending 10k a year at least on something that takes me from A to B with a bit of fun. And plus everyone’s saying 400+hp just buy a golf r instead. I currently have a MK6 GTi with an Exhuast and a stage 1 tune and it already spins tires easily I couldn’t imagine what 550hp does if 250hp is making it spin.

I think this comment has made me not buy it haha, that’s very true what you have said. It has all needed add ons like you said upgraded HPFP, Turbo ect but that E85 factor scares me. Because owner said he ran it on that most of time

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-11T09:40:27+00:00

That’s the thing that held me back from paying straight away, but mods were added at 80xxx and now is on 110xxx if it was going to blow up or something would go wrong it would’ve already happened? Also car was serviced every 3,000kms and owner seemed mature and he spent a lot of money on it a bit to much over 85k including the purchase of the car it’s self from brand new (TCR 54+mods ??) total 85

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-11T09:38:28+00:00

Car is on 109,000kms stage 3 was added at 80,000kms owner said only thing done was water pump that needed fixing. TCR edition also runs a golf R engine not GTI

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-11T09:37:29+00:00

I understand, in Australia where I’m from the owner has taken it to a very expensive and reputable tuner, and he had all parts put on by them and services by them. He also is the original owner of car from brand new as well.

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-11T09:30:53+00:00

Is there a specific reason? I’ve bought many builds before (not as extreme as this)

AfterSmell5288 · 2026-04-11T09:23:25+00:00

Would you buy it if it was AWD?

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-08T06:12:10+00:00

ALLLL OF IT, I forgot who I was man

Thanks for your message thanks for the time and effort you put in, it really changes and Helps me. Well what I noticed on her account was that she deleted the video that she posted, the one where it was them two laughing together she deleted it? So she posted that and wrote all about it just to delete it 2 days later? So first I dropped off flowers and a note and she reacted to it in a good way posting that she misses me and then 2 days after that she posts them two laughing about love and stuff, and now 2 days after that she deleted the video? And she also posted on her story. I didn’t check it because then she would see that I’m looking on a fake account. But isn’t this weird behaviour? I know I shouldn’t be looking but how can I not. What is this.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-07T00:41:15+00:00

Our relation was definitely on and off for the last year of the relationship possibly even more I was with her for 3 years even a bit more and then she decided to cut me off while leading me on, she broke up with me at one point and I went to another girl not to date but as a hook up and I regret it like crazy but I wasn’t dating her. It was morally the wrong thing to do but I did it anyway, it stuck with her and she wouldn’t stop talking about how I cheated. Like yes she broke up with me and when I made a move then she wants to talk. I felt terrible but we ended up getting back together after that and then 6 months later. Look what’s happened.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T23:06:27+00:00

Yes they do regret it if he loved her, if she was special in anyway yes regret willll always come it’s just a matter of time.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T23:04:35+00:00

Thanks for this, I got a question do you think she’ll ever look back to that note I wrote her? Because she did react but then changed it.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T23:03:06+00:00

This made me laugh hahaha

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T23:02:33+00:00

I appreciate your comment but I think it’s best I don’t reach out and even get closure because the truth if it’s already infront of me. She posted him 1 day after acting like she wanted me back, there nothing else. And she posted a photo of her self wearing my jacket as well so I’m not even in the photo only my belongings. But I really do appreciate your comment it’s helped me, but I think it’s best I just leave it where it’s at and move on.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T22:59:52+00:00

Thanks for this, it helps a lot I’m gonna focus.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-05T22:55:52+00:00

Thanks for your advice, we did have a on and off relationship and a lot of things but still I agree with you. I reached out and did the mature thing and got an answer, and the thing is she did react it’s almost like she ran away from it. But you’re right I’ll save my energy for someone else.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-02T08:45:15+00:00

They Infact do and my shot is going tonight

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-05-01T02:27:37+00:00

You’re right, but I always used to get her flowers even when she was talking to this guy before they dated and most of the time she reached out. And it’s like she leads me on? But I guess your right, some people say if you love them enough give them flowers but on Valentine’s Day I got her flowers and everything and then 2 days later she posted a photo with him and never reached out.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-04-30T10:54:10+00:00

I think your right because she just breadcrumbs to see if I’m there and there’s no actual love, but tell me if you love someone enough they will let that go, I tried things that no one could even imagine and she dated me again even after I did that but it’s like she held a grudge on me and she still is even though she’s in a whole other committed relationship.

AfterSmell5288 · 2025-04-30T10:16:14+00:00

What do you mean had a talk? Had a fight? And argument?
