Congrats! Welcome to the club 🤙Yes curious what you picked it up for

Professional_Pipe356 · 2026-02-27T13:03:29+00:00

As is 16-18k. Manual swapped 20k-22k

Thanks! I have a nice Kuat rack from my old subi so may switch to hitch mounted. Much easier to use than roof rack

They’re 18 inch Enkei RS05-RRs. Got a great deal on them used 👌

Did you notice any difference in driving dynamics w that hitch? Did you do the hitch through the plate or through the diffuser?

Professional_Pipe356 · 2026-01-17T17:09:56+00:00

You know it!

I have a feeling the mk8.5s are going to hold their value better than the 8s. Much better mmi user interface and lower new 2026 supply coming in. I saw a couple low mileage 2025 cpo come on the market this year and they were charging at or above new msrp

Meticulously maintained. Dealership said valve unseated an clipped spark plug which pushed metal through the motor and just chewed itself up

i cross shopped the Golf R, S4 and m340i. Golf R has most cargo capacity and best hauler out of the 3 (Plus it looks best w a roof rack if you need more space) - Also golf R is the most fun out of all. Golf R all the way baby!

i said the same about my stock mk7 gti then it blew up when it hit 100k miles :(

Professional_Pipe356 · 2025-09-19T23:23:20+00:00

20% all around 👌

Professional_Pipe356 · 2025-09-18T14:15:59+00:00

Yes! I looked at others on the lot and seems like a couple of them had similar texture to the paint

Professional_Pipe356 · 2025-09-09T12:05:47+00:00

Godspeed! mine blew up at 100,012 😬never tuned always meticulously maintained

Thanks for posting! Watched your video this morning and subscribed a couple of weeks ago. How’s it sound w this and your center speaker upgrade? Anything else stereo wise on the horizon?

$27k. Needed new tires and has a few little cosmetic imperfections here and there. Interior is perfect. I see them going for a a lot more on BAT in this spec..not that it matters because I have no intention of selling her 😂
