Europe got fun colors. It’s apparently a 1of 1 toffee brown. Owner gives details here.

The only mk7s with handbrakes were manufactured in Mexico to my knowledge so you’re probably looking for a super basic model sold somewhere in Latin America (if it exists at all).

It wasn't standard on the GTE.

The cost to finance has also gotten outrageous. Just read the average used auto loan is over 8% apr. Nuts.

No it's not. I just personally wouldn't buy a used performance car with that many miles without knowing the car's history. Especially one that was imported internationally

I'd be voiding the warranty very quickly if I got another mk7 instead of an 8. Would be throwing a vortex xl and a bunch of other stuff on it. Mileage is a bigger concern for me.

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de504aa9-91fe-41c3-8bde-ebc7f9aa2c2d/ Speaking of blues that look like other blues. This just popped up near me. Kinda tempting... my first car was an 03 gti and I really wanted a jazz blue 20th AE... I'm first on the waitlist at a few dealers for the MK8 20th...

Mars red is the worst color in the program IMO. No one would ever think it was anything but tornado red unless you had them next to each other.

They'll catch up.

20th Anniversary here is 2024 so there should be a bit more time for supply chains etc to get caught up based on that time frame. Unless we are going to have a 19th anniversary edition next year. 2023 is the 40th anniversary of the GTI in the US... wonder if there's anything coming for that...

Anyone know a good mobile tint installer that’ll come into the city (Lakeview)?

So they basically sold it at cost.

drove it 1700 miles home. we were right about it not going to a collector with that mileage.

Comparing Canadian market cars to us ones isn’t quite apples to apples but definitely tempting.

no clue what the sale price was but they paid like 54 for it so I doubt they came down much further.
