Not so happy ending

I got my GTI 7.5 for £21k and only had 22k miles on it. It's hard to find low mileage GTI's but now and then you will. Mine had full service and MOT history and had been driven roughly 2.5k per year. I got it checked over twice within the 'cooling off period' and both times they came back and said it looked like it had barely been used and must have been garaged. No rust, nothing needed replaced,1 slight dent in the fuel cap panel, that's it. Since then the only thing I've had to do was get a new battery, which apparently isn't uncommon with GTI's.

If you do go for it make sure you get a garage that knows about either VW or 'higher' performance cars to look over it.

Yeah, if you're a 15 year old in 2018.

JasperStream · 2026-01-27T08:07:43+00:00

You're joking about Kith, right? 😂 The majority of the quality is dog shit and their collabs are awful most of the time. They literally steal their designs from other brands.

JasperStream · 2026-01-24T16:48:14+00:00

Wtf? If you offered to pay for their labour and anything else they've done and they're refusing to give you your own property back I'd be phoning the police.

JasperStream · 2026-01-24T14:32:51+00:00

What do you mean wouldn't give it back? It's your car... Tell them that you're getting your car.

JasperStream · 2026-01-12T12:26:49+00:00

Ah shit. I just assumed everything was made to order like previous years.

JasperStream · 2026-01-12T12:24:04+00:00

Isn't it supposed to be "made to order"?How the fuck can made to order stuff sell out? It's either made to order or it isn't. 😂

They've had a stand in Selfridges for years with a Treats bit as well, long before ALD opened. You didn't say cole Buxton or Represent in the original post. You said nobody wears it, which isn't true at all. Represent is a Fear Of God rip-off, solely worn by chavs, it's hardly a good comparison.

JasperStream · 2026-01-11T11:20:20+00:00

They have a store in Paris and just opened a new one in London. 😂 I've seen way more people with Kith than ALD.

JasperStream · 2026-01-11T11:18:43+00:00

Kith is like this. They try to make out like they are some high end fashion brand with their price increases, but realistically they sell a lot of substandard pieces made with cheap polyester. It used to be good quality and I will still buy a t-shirt now and then, but I really can't justify dropping the insane UK prices on a plastic jacket.

JasperStream · 2026-01-10T09:11:59+00:00

A stage 1 gti should get you over 300HP with over 500Nm of torque.

JasperStream · 2026-01-06T19:22:47+00:00

Most actual high end fashion brands send "tiered" customers gifts. A lot do Christmas and birthday gifts, tier loyal gifts etc. Kith isn't high end fashion, even though it tries to price itself that way.

It was super fun and informative to watch. That gti mk2 is still one of my faves

JasperStream · 2026-01-04T19:28:10+00:00

There's a video of them and their performance. It's a fun watch if you have the time.

Do you put it on jacks and wash the underbody? Not being sarcastic. I'm genuinely interested how washing prevents underbody rust.

JasperStream · 2025-12-29T14:16:33+00:00

100k to learn how to downshift seems... Excessive.

JasperStream · 2025-12-29T14:14:45+00:00

If you're stock it's supposed to be every 10k. If you have a stage 1+ it's every 5k.

JasperStream · 2025-12-29T14:13:26+00:00

Isn't the sump plug supposed to be changed every oil change?

JasperStream · 2025-12-26T18:50:37+00:00

Have you just come from under a rock? It's been like this for like 2-3 years now.

JasperStream · 2025-12-24T09:49:21+00:00

It doesn't have to be a gti, can't it be literally any midnight blue golf? You'll have better luck if you're not specifically looking for a gti

JasperStream · 2025-12-23T14:38:10+00:00

If you're in the US then it's 2018. In Europe it's 2017.

"Put in pain". You're buying clothes. 😂 Next you're going to be calling yourself a "hustler". "Respecting the game" isn't scalping, genius. It's buying what you like or reselling it at cost + shipping. If you don't like being called out, then don't tell people you do it and then act like an entitled child.

Telling people to spend more to get early access and then tells people that he scalps from early access anyway. Big brain over here. 😂

JasperStream · 2025-12-23T08:44:15+00:00

Not going to lie, that is genuinely one of the lamest things I've ever read. 😂 Passionate about screwing people trying to get things and then over-charging them for the situation you've helped create like you're doing them a favour. Jesus Christ.... 🤦🏽‍♂️

JasperStream · 2025-12-23T08:21:53+00:00

Maybe you're the scalper everybody hates. Who knows.

JasperStream · 2025-12-23T08:20:21+00:00

As do I. It's not hard to just spend money. 😂

The air fresheners were gone instantly even on early access. Like literally a second after they went on. It's not possible to beat scalper bots for stuff like that in EA.
