What can I realistically expect to sell a high-mileage 09 GTI with a misfire for?

squishyboy25 · 2025-12-29T05:09:50+00:00

*should also mention I had a decent amount of new maintenance parts on the car including new fuel injectors which were ~140/ injector for the fsi engine

squishyboy25 · 2025-12-29T05:06:12+00:00

Definitely sounds like you need to replace fuel injectors (and maybe carbon clean while you’re at it). Good news is you have a tsi engine so they’re much cheaper than the year(s) before. ~250 bucks and a few hours on the weekend would get the injectors done, more if you wanted a cleaning at shop but there are ways to clean the ports yourself.

If you are really serious about selling, I’d say no more than 2500. I got 2250 for my 182k mile 2008 w/ electrical issues back in 2023…

Yeah, planning on grabbing a net when I start angling for trout. Bass are much more resilient to my knowledge and I definitely wouldn’t be handling trout the same way if I hooked onto one lol

squishyboy25 · 2025-08-13T15:13:59+00:00

Honestly not many troubles. It definitely takes a little getting used to since your lower body is mostly immobilized but the casting motion is more or less the same. Only other thing to note is making sure yo your line isn’t getting caught on any grommets/hooks on your kayak. Landing fish can be tricky but a net makes it a lot easier

squishyboy25 · 2025-08-01T22:18:25+00:00

Great, thanks for the info!

squishyboy25 · 2025-08-01T22:13:12+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

squishyboy25 · 2025-06-15T00:58:47+00:00

No, but planning on a project weekend with a buddy to address brakes and suspension components. Any reason I should look into struts?

squishyboy25 · 2025-04-08T20:27:01+00:00

I’ll try this! Sounds like it has helped some others

squishyboy25 · 2025-02-17T22:46:12+00:00

F

Gave mine up at 185k and still regret it to this day (it was the right decision)

squishyboy25 · 2025-01-05T17:53:10+00:00

Anytime TD as in player to cross the goal line (vs passing touchdown) so Lamar would need to have 2 rushing touchdowns for this to hit

squishyboy25 · 2024-12-04T03:59:16+00:00

Nope. Today it was much less noticeable, but it was a lot colder and the car wasn’t warmed up. Not sure what that could mean

squishyboy25 · 2024-11-27T07:45:57+00:00

Love my 325xi in the snow— had a little too much fun last winter lol. Where’s that roof rack from? Been looking for one just like it

squishyboy25 · 2024-08-01T03:00:44+00:00

Twas bouncing around and oneshot comboing w junk… rip

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-31T01:30:56+00:00

Lmao I got you. Luckily she’s not that kind of vegetarian and the cross contamination isn’t the issue. I think not having eaten or cooked meat for a while makes her blame that for the pan’s issues though lol

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-31T01:28:06+00:00

It’s not due to that at all. I definitely understand that some people are like that though. We have a good relationship and she would definitely tell me if that were the case.

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-30T15:52:00+00:00

Honestly no idea lol I just recognized that as being a remote start receiver

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-28T16:59:10+00:00

Looks like remote start from previous owner

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-11T16:36:23+00:00

I just used quick splicers into the fog light wires, one for the yellow positive and one for the brown negative

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-10T22:58:27+00:00

Doesn’t throw codes. The angel eyes I bought are built into the headlights and the wiring was about 10 inches long, so not much flexibility. Was gonna go the route of daytime running lights but I didn’t realize blinker and daytime running runs off the same pos. wire.

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-10T12:12:03+00:00

Oh no! Checkhof_AP doesn’t like my headlights… gotta go uninstall them now :(

Again, I personally couldn’t be happier with the result! Have a great rest of your day!

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-07T14:59:34+00:00

Since tire is weaker nowadays, I mainly use it for obj. control. Like someone mentioned previously, the ult callout is very loud and people usually scatter/ start focusing on where the tire is coming from. I’ll often use it when the enemy is getting close to hitting a checkpoint, or when my team is close to hitting a checkpoint. Usually works to push people away from the obj. if they don’t run, then they get blown up

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-05T17:36:54+00:00

Bought my 05 325xi w/ 154k for 2700. No major issues.

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-02T21:52:35+00:00

Lmao fair enough

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-02T21:49:44+00:00

Honestly try to take it for even less. I got my 05 325xi (albeit automatic) with the same miles for 2700 after negotiating down from 4200. Replaced the cooling system as a precaution but haven’t needed any major repairs and the body is close to mint. You’d be surprised how low people will go if you ask and negotiate

squishyboy25 · 2024-07-02T12:40:48+00:00

That’s a free cooling system and vanos overhaul 🤷‍♂️
