Another "Help me make up my mind" thread

[fledonfoot]

So I'm shit outta luck. The King one really seemed okay. I mean a $300 doc fee is nothing if they're taking $3,338 off the car. My local also said freight should be included in the window sticker so it shouldn't be an extra fee. If I went to north penn it would just be the $40k msrp + tax.

It's a weird thing... all of the MD/VA/NC dealers advertise their cars without freight. I found this out when I was shopping for the FoST... even with Toyota this happens. It's a weird regional thing a ton of the manufacturers/dealers do.

Things done as regular maintenance to vibe in ~50k miles and 3 years (starting with 100k miles of unknown abuse):

wash and (spray) wax it once every couple months
change oil+filter every 5k
add winter wheels+tires, swap them in and out in november/march
change brake rotors+pads, bleed some new fluid through
change trans fluid
change spark plugs
change engine/cabin air filters
change battery

Things that actually broke and had to be replaced:
HVAC recirc door actuator
one rusty bolt holding up an exhaust heat shield

My god, it's like a full time job! How do I even keep it on the road?

I'm salivating at the thought of doing all that to a 100k mile Miata with no service history, and maintaining an old motorcycle with no service history too. breh, madd

Hey. Wrenching on things actually can be fun though.

FWIW I don't find wrenching or cleaning shit to be fun or therapeutic in any way. It simply is a necessary element of owning anything to me. If you own a thing, you take care of it. Riding shit hard and putting it away wet does not compute whether it's a Veyron or a $5 frying pan.

I'm just being
I'd have an older-ish vehicle if I had a place to wrench on it. Not old old, but would entertain something new to me in the 40-60k range.

I don't mind wrenching as long as it's not stupid hard. I probably would have tackled the sunroof and valve cover gasket of the GTI if I had a driveway and a weekend.

Looking at my email with the Lindsay VW guy he said this. I guess I can ask him to confirm if that's the OTD price. That note about the $1,000 bonus is on GTI's as well because I believe it's a nationwide VW promotion. Should I email the King diller too since they're about $150 cheaper on sale price with a cheaper doc fee?

Selling price $36,515 + $820 freight = $37,335 + taxes, tags/title, processing fee

I enjoy wrenching and cleaning when it doesn't need to be done by the end of the day.

If I can take my time and turn a wrench and pick things back up tomorrow, that's fun.

If I have to rush a job, strip a bolt, and throw tools because I'm short on time,

Despite the carnage and second-guessing, I've really enjoyed working on the when I start to at something. I just step back, put the tools away, clean up, and come back to it another day. It's awesome.

Almost forgot about the PCV in addition to a $2k clutch job soon.

Email the VA and MD while also going to my local one to get numbers?

It is the weekend now...

So I kind of did a thing.

The local made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I put the $500 deposit down on the R so they can hold it for me while I get my mods off.

The local is giving me $11k on trade for my GTI. I was . Sales manager also knocked off $300 since this will be my 3rd car from them and I go there for service. After comparing the numbers between the local diller and the one in VA, my local one came out to be a few hundred less even though it's sticker is $40k. That trade in price is yuuuge.

I had to take that and run.

Did you pull the trigger !? New thread time

[ChrisoftheNorth]

So paying sticker with trade offer?

I guess it all levels out in the end.

Craziness yup... I wonder if he has tax beni for the trade

[Gberg2119]

It did. With the trade offer and fewer fees associated with the diller here in PA, it came out to be $716 cheaper to just buy it here versus driving down to VA.

I am glad someone got a MK7 R, I am curious to hear about the impressions... as I am VERY fond of that car for the price, considering discunts have started.

The local stealer wouldn't let me test drive it similar to the STI excuse.
