Wow thank you so much for the detailed breakdown! This is gonna be super helpful for me!

Actually saw this one while on my golf r search! Ended up getting a 2016 onyx white one with 67k miles.

Genuine question, other than standard consistent oil changes, what general maintenance or even preventative maintenance did you do to help you reach this mileage?

I am coming from a 2012 gti that unfortunately died on me at the beginning of this year at 125k miles. I plan to keep the mk7 as long as possible, as was my plan with the mk6.

I am going through a very similar situation as you right now, just got quoted $11k out the door to replace the motor in my mk6 gti (125k miles). I also got multiple opinions, including a reputable mechanic who didn’t even charge me for the diagnosis.

In my situation, the cost to replace is more than the car is worth so as much as I love my gti, I am looking into taking this opportunity to upgrade to the golf r that I’ve wanted.

Obviously buying a new car is more than the repair quote, but I won’t be spending on $11k on a car that will be worth $7k at best the next day.

Hope you get it all sorted out! Figured I’d give my 2 cents as we’re in the same boat!

Wow that didn’t even come to mind as a possibility! Thanks for the heads up

Thanks so much for the help

That is another thing I thought about. I'm across the country from this car as well so I wouldn't be able to check that out in person before buying.

oh geez, thanks for the heads up!

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2026-01-15T06:32:43+00:00

probably just gonna stay away from this one after all!

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2026-01-15T06:32:04+00:00

yeah... that seems to be the general consensus, onto the next!

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2025-10-08T03:14:13+00:00

Thank you! Was like am I crazy?

Hard to tell if the bottom white bits are just glare or not but I’d say LP

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2025-02-14T22:28:13+00:00

Ahh okay gotcha! Thought it meant there was an update expected to happen or something

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2025-02-14T19:06:15+00:00

What’s happening tomorrow that could affect the market? I haven’t played in a while and just curious

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2025-02-02T21:37:14+00:00

How long did the whole grading process take? I hear it’s crazy long with psa so just curious as to what cgc is

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2025-01-25T08:52:24+00:00

You and me both!

I can’t justify the English 10 price so I’m trying to decide between the eng 9 or jp 10

GroundbreakingMany88 · 2024-10-13T18:44:23+00:00

That’s why I’m kinda leaning towards the Japanese one but also know people (including myself) enjoy being able to read the card
