coty061885 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Now that I have a new job I felt it was time to get a new car. The ZX2 had a good run, but was getting past its prime. I've loved the new GTI's since I first saw a story about it on Top Gear. So, I shopped around and feel I got a good deal on this one. It's used, only 7500 miles, but was owned by a Catholic priest. He kept it in mint condition and actually added some upgrades. It has an APR chip that, according to APR, bumps the power to 250 HP and ~300 ft/lbs torque. It also has a Euro lightswitch that turns off the DRLs and allows the foglights to be controlled seperate from the headlights. I haven't been able to take proper pictures of it due to the bad weather, so I just got the ones from Byer's website. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2407/wvwev71k66w1453071et7.jpg http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/238/wvwev71k66w1453077iz0.jpg http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/3269/wvwev71k66w1453078kk8.jpg http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/2245/wvwev71k66w1453079qf3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Nice car. I've been eyeing one of those myself. I would get the leather though because I can't stand that plad. :barf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 2 things, get racing seats, second watch potholes/ curbs on those tires, if I read em right they're the new continental pro contacts and the sidewalls are paper fucking thin, they're a joke....

coty061885 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Thanks for the messages, folks. Bad to hear about the tires, I do believe they are the Pro's. They came with a warranty, though, so I'm covered on them. Also, I don't like leather seats, especially VW leather seats. The cloth seats are comfortable as hell, and very firm/supportive. I think I got a good deal on the car, 2 grand under Blue Book value, actually. Plus, with the College Grad Program, I got a sweet interest rate so my monthly payment is under what I was aiming for. Nate, stay in one state for more than 24 hours and maybe you'll get to go to BWW with us sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I really like my byers experience so far to be honest. I paid dealer traid in on the car. And their service department has been nothing but fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Excellent to hear, Shawn. Both times I've been there so far were very good experiences. All the employees I talked to were cool as hell, but they were probably just doing what salespersons usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
