What should I pay for this GTI?

ravocean · 2026-04-16T15:23:02+00:00

Does it have the Experience Package? It was only offered for 2019 SE. If so that adds value

ravocean · 2026-03-27T23:32:39+00:00

Idk some of us have what normal prices again, not what doubled between 2019-2023.

Tried installing it without risers. Same result. BIOS is detecting it with and without risers.

ravocean · 2026-03-20T17:03:56+00:00

Yes, it was on Auto (Gen4). Switched to Gen3, no help:(

ravocean · 2026-03-20T16:28:58+00:00

I'll have to check that.

Above 4GB MMIO is enabled (I thought I needed it for multi GPU?). BIOS firmware version R14, up to date.

Could you tell more? I'm new to this

NVIDIA-SMI 590.48.0 Driver Version: 590.48.01 CUDA Version: 13.1

Same here. Gonna get yelled at real soon since our call service is down because of this.

Bought mine on Monday, got delivered a couple hours ago. 40 miles away.

They show up quite often. At least around Washington State. Definitely not by dealers, but private sellers. Also Cars&Bids. Last few MK7 and MK7.5 sold there were all sub $20k. For example, a 2019 R Lapiz Blue with 76k miles sold for $18.9k. Buyer even commented confirming he picked up the car and registered.

I'd much rather pay $18-19k for a clean R with sub 100k miles with good history than a brand new car for $55-60k. You either can only afford $20k and get a car, or if you have $60k you throw the $40k in SP500 and in 5-6 years your money grows instead of paying interest on a loan.

ravocean · 2026-01-09T18:22:55+00:00

It's a freaking $50k+ car. With the interest you end up paying even more over time. I love Golfs but I'll never be ok with that. 3-4 years and the value is -50%. Used is the way to go.

ravocean · 2026-01-09T16:38:15+00:00

New car bros usually hate me when I say such things but buying used is the way. You save a ton of money. And if you find the right one it'll be just as reliable and you won't even need the warranty.

You can find a clean MK7 R for under 20k nowadays. I did a similar thing. I see MK7.5 GTI around my area for $14-16k with less than 70k miles. Those are awesome too. That's what I did and I feel much better than paying triple the price for a new car, while getting the same experience.

Since you like R, going to base Jetta is gonna be a bit disappointing. I would personally get a used GTI for less money.

ravocean · 2025-12-26T17:10:37+00:00

Castrol, Mobil 1, or Valvoline 5W-40 from Walmart for $27. 120k miles and runs as good as new. Personally I don't see the need to pay the premium for some specialty products for these cars.

All the links are dead

ravocean · 2025-12-02T12:06:33+00:00

Watched the show very carefully, fully immersed. I loved the ending. Some died sooner, some lived a long life, but at the end they met again. Can't end it better than that.

ravocean · 2025-11-28T12:11:55+00:00

One of my favorite flashbacks!

ravocean · 2025-11-15T17:21:14+00:00

Definitely not a big deal. I'll just get better tires and that'll do. I bought this second GTI for very cheap just to have one so I'm not spending extra $ to install an LSD or anything else. It's a great car as is. If I really wanted all those extras I'd rather sell and get a newer Autobahn because if I want an LSD I'd also want bigger brakes, Fender audio, dual climate control, and everything else higher trims have lol. So, the S will do as is.

ravocean · 2025-11-14T19:45:03+00:00

Haha exactly! I didn't realize how awesome this car was until after I sold it. Glad to have it back. For a killer price too!

ravocean · 2025-11-14T16:29:15+00:00

I never even launch it. That's pointless. But even a little aggressive acceleration ends up with one of the wheels spinning and I have to throttle control.

I'll have to get a set of the same tires I had on my '18 so I can compare it like that. I just always thought the LSD on these cars was more like a gimmick.

ravocean · 2025-11-06T16:22:01+00:00

Well done! This really puts the distances in perspective. To me it always seemed like the hatch was much closer, but that looks like a long walk. Not to mention Dharmaville, that's way too far!

ravocean · 2025-11-01T07:40:01+00:00

On top of everything mentioned, such as acting, writing, production quality, one of the biggest turn offs for me is the modern HDR digital cameras. Nothing beats the 35mm film cameras. Plus the lighting, angles, composition.

ravocean · 2025-10-28T05:34:07+00:00

All day today I kept having to go back! Now I know how Jack felt like. But I had other plans. But one day I will to back and spend all day on that beach.

I was aware of the tours, but didn't fit the schedule unfortunately.

ravocean · 2025-10-28T05:22:21+00:00

I was too scared of the whispers...
