Don’t really intent on adding mods that much, with the exception of getting different wheels (oem or aftermarket) to replace or my curb raped austins. Perhaps rieger side skirts to cover the bottom dent, and that kills me on the inside.

Perhaps a detail and wax like rudy did. But not sure if i want to do it before or after i leave for Turkey.

Just a tad over a year left for it to be paid off, max I can do is keep it till 100k
Finding the right wheels for the MK7 is a little harder then the more rounded MK6 when people could get away with a plethora of styles. Even some really vapebro BBS wheels don't look right on the 7/7.5. You have any favorites in mind?

i like the ‘17 sport wheels.
VMR 701 (mclaren looking wheels)
Miro 111 (think)
Dat 6 spoke 3sdm
Thats pretty much all i have off my head, as long as it remains the oem size. And i don’t wanna spend too much money on it. When trade in, i can always find oem austins for sale anyway.

Im not all about the bbs rs, or any 3 piece wheels anyway.

Did you ever make a thread about your :dill: You know of got another egg and I didn't see the deets. How did you trade your white egg?
Hello. White egg was registered to my dad, so he flew in the weekend of the :dill: to “return” the MK6. MK6 lease payments were $477/month, and I returned the vehicle with 67,675 (approx. 7,675 miles over). The mk6 had 2 payments left on the car, plus mileage overages that we paid up front (put it into the MK7.5 and then put $2,500 down to get approved on the loan).

MK7.5 came out to $530/month for 72 months at 5.64% (with dad as a co-signer but not co-owner). This includes GAP insurance and Road Hazard package :dillerman: . The main reason I elected to even fathom a 72 month loan is the 6/72,000 warranty. The MK7.5 was, if you don’t factor the remaining lease payments and mileage fee, acquired for sticker price OTD (including tax/title/etc).

I qualified for recent graduate, SCCA partner, and some MFR rebates which took a few thousand off the car.

All in all, never leasing again, and the interest rate is a bit higher because I am 23 with minimal credit history and a somewhat poor credit score (due to my parents putting me on some of their accounts and then electing to consolidate without removing me). This will be a keeper for the long haul, and considering I work for PenFed I will re-finance 6-12 months down the road.

Also, :dillerman: elected to buy my mk6 so I was absolved of any other fees including wear & tear, maintenance, disposition, etc.

I plan on keeping the GTI for 72,000 at minimum, if not for as long as I can since this would be the first “car that’s mine on my name” sort of thing.

All in all, I am paying insurance and difference, and parents are paying $500 of the total payment. So I’m payinf about $200/month more than I was before (insurance is $170/mo for full coverage). I am saving my parents the insurace payment so they’re happy with that and we will slowly transition into me paying more and more as pay goes up for my job/career trajectory.

Thanks for posting the deets. I feel like they were missing and I actually searched in other threads.
:notbad: deal... so the VW cost around ~2500 to turn in ($1500 for miles and $1000 for payments)?

~530x72 is around 38k... so I am assuming you got the car for around 32k OTD and rest is interest...? 5.6% isn't "bad" per say... that's a long ass loan.

How are you liking the MK7 so far? What spec is it ?SE ?

since i'm essentially rudy's neighbor, i'll explain the deets.

It's an SE. However, mk7.5 changed the options a lot. It does not have leather seats nor fender. But it does have the performance package specs, and the sunroof. The speedo is exactly the same as my mk7, so no digital speedo. But dat head unit :jizz:
