New Car

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.

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.
