2007 Volkswagen Gti Thunderbunny/apr Tuned/stoptech Brakes/coil-over Suspension on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
I'm the 2nd owner since the car had 25,500 miles. Adult owned for almost 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 4,000 miles and come with a 40,000 mile manufacturer warranty. 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. 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). Also replaced were cam follower (replaced at 75k) and most recently revised diverter valve and valve cover. 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. 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 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 anywhere with 9,000 miles unless the car is new. My entire reason for selling is because I'm moving to an all-year-round summer climate and I'm wanting to get back into a roadster. This car has been great daily driver and a blast to drive. Very quick with the tune, better handling with new suspension and brakes way 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 that 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. Also, had the seat belt chime turned off in case you don't like wearing a seat belt (which I don't recommend). 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 have have OEM VW roof bars with two OEM VW barracuda carriers, NOT available in my asking price. Also for sale for $400 and before taxes they are $680 new from VW. 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 $5,000. $250 deposit is non-refundable to attract serious buyers. I live in Kansas City but from St. Louis which is where my loan is located. The car can be picked up in either city once payment clears. Shoot me an offer if you'd like the all season wheels, the summers or both. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks! |

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car
Wed, Dec 10 2014Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own – was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.
