And nice . They look great in white, IMO.
How you liking it? What did you trade/get rid of, if anything?
White is pretty great. Green would have been my other choice, but I bought it used so color options were limited.
I love it so far! Got it two days ago and haven't driven it much yet. Traded in my piece of shit Mazda3 that I shockingly had for almost three years.
Nice White Egg mang!
My son has a green one on his lot for a song ($21,999 w/208 farts) , that price and color really gives me the urge to but it looks like they knocked back the warranty to one year for some reason....No bueno

I was starting to feel itis recently, but after doing more I don't see any point. The R still has B2B warranty for three more years and the fuel savings annually between a hybrid Rav and a are approximately 700CAD annually. So those three years of hybrid ownershit would equate to less then the tax I'd pay on the new POS. I guess there is further savings down the road, say out of warranty repair costs but how much exactly is questionable. Basically a no positive saving solution unless I traded a newish car for an older boring thing.
Hanging up with thread for another three years.
Yea fuel savings are a tough sell to get into a newer vehicle. Unless you’re in a sub 15mpg beast and are considering a 40mpg toaster while
Driving 20k+ miles
I've actually been running 100 octane gas for a long time, including on the Z06.
There's a station less than a mile from me with 100 and the station in Sunol on the way to work has it too.
So you’re just running on 100 The entire time ? That’s a lot of dedication.
Yep. I tried mixing down to 93/94 but it's too hard with partial fills since I don't run close to empty.
Easier to just pay the Piper and run 100.
On the Z06 it removed the timing being pulled from knock when the car warmed up, and produced the power the car should have with more than 91 octane. Same with the 911.

That is such a great color! You should grab it. CPO warranty for 18/19s are only an additional year because the factory warranty is already 6 year/72k mile warranty. The one linked should theoretically be under warranty until summer of 2026.
My son is trying to get the real scoop on why it was turned back in after 208 miles..... but the fact that it was makes a warranty a must in my mind....

some young loser had to have the man rod. Stalled it for 180 miles, gave up and took a $7500 hit to the anus

250 miles shown on the odo.
Carfox lists it at 201 miles it was up for sale at Faulkner.
Carfox lists it at 410 miles currently for sale at Faulkner.
i.e. it never left Faulkner once it got there.
Was likely "sold" internally on paper to a manager or employee, and is up for resale as CPO. Maybe to hit a monthly sales target or something to get the volume bonus from VW. I know dodge does this, didn't know VW did but it wouldn't surprise me.

Mercedes being investigated for that as well...
the mileage discrepancy id ask about but most likely a typo. However if you register it with less than 410 miles it will show up as a flag on car fox get the dealer to
Fix it

they do the registration at the dealership for you, that's part of the $250 doc fee. So they list it at 420 miles despite you taking it with 255. OOPS paper work error! We can re-do it for another $150 or you can I bet 99.99% of the buying public would never catch that.

Makes sense. Your has been solid too. No reason to

Yeah I have little to no reason to aside from cheaper commuting and possibly something bigger, but those excuses only hold so much substance.
How's your been treating you lately? Any plans for it moving forward?

I'm over 20k but the savings isn't surmounting to the cost of the car. I mean even if I increase my annual mileage or the cost of fuel by 20% I'm barely scraping 1k/yr in savings. The only argument available is the downgrade to a cheaper new car which cuts down on the cost of maintenance and repairs in four years. Too much hair splitting to worry about it I guess.
I'm gonna say that the majority of has to do more with personal preferences and less to do with finances IMO
Service manager at my son's dealershit hit some hard times and traded in his S3 (APR Stage 2 with DP and IC). Kid says this guy is meticulous and anal and that the car is absolutely immaculate with 29,974 miles. Also said its grin inducingly quick. APR site claims 372-387 HP with 367-409 FT-LBS of torque
The want is real but would be concerned again with warranty...although this dealership replaced two water pumps and an intake manifold under warranty on my tuned GTI.
$30k is a little more than I can comfortably spend and also Also Audi doesn't fit my wanted work image.
Truth is I have 10 more payments left on the GTI and would like to go a year or so without payments after that ....that is, if the car will continue to run well after the projected 200k I will have on it by this time next year.

Got offered a 4 car garage in the same complex as my friend the detailer. A neighbor of his uses the front for a business and doesn't need the 4 car bay. They want 1/3 the rent for the garage including power and water use, so $800/month.

about the warranty it will likely need at most a $750 water pump by 100k miles

both equally likely.....
