2007 Volkswagen Gti Base Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars

I'm the 2nd owner and bought the car with 25,250 miles. Adult owned for 4 years and never smoked in. Volkswagen of America just replaced the DSG with a new one at 79,500 miles because of a VW dealership's carelessness during a transmission service. A new DSG is about $6,000. Car is tuned with APR stage 1 (stock mode, 91 octane, 93 octane and 100 octane). Car has all new Goodridge SS brake lines with StopTech slotted rotors and StopTech street pads with TyrolSport brass bushing brake caliper stiffening kit, all changed out at 79k. Solo-werks coilovers with front 034 Density strut mounts installed at 82k. Car has 17" Audi RS replica wheels (perfect condition) with all-season Cooper RS3-A tires with approximately 5,000 miles. These wheels also have TPMS installed. All black textured trim has been changed to the rare OEM VW Thunderbunny sideskirts and Thunderbunny rear bumper with LED license plate lights. Front lip is a smoothed OEM candy white Jetta lip with some blemishes. Transformation started when someone rear ended me at about 5mph. I opted for the bumper, then changed the lip when the front bumper was replaced after shredded tire road debris (paperwork available). Some rub marks on the front passenger side fender wheel well (pictures available). I also replaced the cam follower (replaced at 75k) and most recently the revised diverter valve and valve cover by the dealer to fix a boost leak. Interior cloth is in great shape. Car was already tinted when I purchased it, doors are around 35% and the rear is just about as dark as it gets. The car was already wired for an amp and subwoofer. In addition, the doors and floor of the rear hatch have been layered with sound deadening mat. Sunroof works perfectly, no problems. Car has been waxed twice yearly during my 4 year ownership and the HID headlight is clear as new and no hazing. Brand new windshield installed last week. Synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles and not the recommended 10k by VW. All recalls have been performed and I just replaced the air filter and did an oil change. DSG service occurs every 40k and won't be needed until the car reaches 120,000 miles. You will not find another DSG GTI on eBay with 9,000 miles!

My entire reason for selling is because I'm moving to a year round summer climate and I'm wanting to get back into a roadster. This car has been a great daily driver and a blast to drive. Very quick with the tune, better handling with new suspension and brakes, far better than the stock rotors and pads. I've had quite a bit of Vag-com work done. The two key fobs can control driver and passenger side windows (up and down) in addition to closing the sunroof. The rear hatch release button on the key fobs has been activated (which was not an option in the U.S). The HID Xenon headlights have been turned off as daytime running lights and the fog lights have been turned on as daytime running lights. The seat belt chime has been turned off.

I'm in no way associated with APR but check out their website for information on the tune. The GTI's stock numbers are 200 HP/ 207 TQ. APR's tune raises horsepower to 252 and torque to 303 on 93 octane gasoline. I can disable the tune if the buyer wishes.

My pictures show my OEM VW roof bars and bike racks which were a fairly expensive additional accessory. They can be included for an additional price.

This is a car that has had all normal wear parts replaced with... new springs/struts ($720 before labor), new brake pads/rotors and lines and fluid ($750 before labor), new all-season tires ($550 before install) and a new transmission $6,000 WHICH IS WHY THIS CAR IS WORTH MORE THAN BLUE BOOK AND I AM AWARE OF IT'S CURRENT VALUE.

$250 deposit is non-refundable to attract serious buyers. I live in Kansas City but am from St. Louis which is where my loan is located. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks
