ive tried replying to this thread a few times, maybe this time it will how up?
the price ($8500) is more than a 20th or 337 gti go for locally. My friend sold his 337 with 56k on it for $9000. Another friend sold hid mk4 r32 (the real one) with 89k for $13000. A base 1.8t gti with that mileage and year will be worth at most 5-6000 once its yours, because dealers can price it for whatever they want.
so you will be taking a new car loss on a used car.
i know your stuck at a dealer since you have a trade. have you thought about what your payments will be or what you are willing to pay a month? vw has a special going right now. Another friend runs the vw dealership. Its like 72 months 0% apr on 2010 rabbits. making monthly payments like $225-240 a month he said. If VW is the way you want to go, and you are not a vw person who knows the ins and outs, then i would suggest getting one with a new car warranty first.
and yes mk4 vws are terrible if they were not maintained, and also have lots of issues that even come up even if they are well maintained. plus they have all the plastics in the engine for cooling that are a nightmare for real if you consider the plastic thermostat housing on the aveo a problem.
The 1.8t also have a sludge issue, that is only warrantied until 100k. 120k on audis. so you only get that protection for 10k if you buy this high milage one.
VWs are great cars though, ive owned dozens. as an example of pricing, my other buddy is selling his for 12k if you want a well done one:
-original owner
-5 speed
-GLS (sunroof, heated leater, 3 spoke steering wheel)
-VR6 with Dieselgook short shift, GIAC chip, Techtonics stainless 2.5 catback
-GHL CAI
-19x8.5" BBS LMs, 3mm/8mm spacers
-H&R coils, H&R fsb, neuspeed adjustable rsb
-GLI kit front and back (with deleted exhaust hole), Votex sides
-OEM joey'd HIDs, lexan covers, Hella micro DEs
-euro rub strip, in-dash OEM 6 disc changer, w8 overhead lights
-Hella smoked tails
-OEM stubby mirrors
-real Oettinger grill
-bunch of OEM interior crap like TT pedals
this car comes with real bbs lms, worth about $2400, OEM joey modded hids worth 600-1000k (not looking up) H&R coils which are $900-1200, the chip, body kit catback stubby mirrors etc easily add up to another 2000 inadd ons.
so you subtract whats been done, its a 4000 car. (i think its worth more than the 12k hes asking though, but i dod some of the work too...
