Hey folks! Just wanted to introduce myself to this great community. I'm Gerry, 32, 10-year Navy vet living in South Texas.
I'm looking to buy a GTI 2.0T 4dr w/lighting package sometime around the end of this year/early next year. I wanted to start gathering as much information as I could before I invest and I thought this place would be a great way to help me do that.
I've been seeing the trim I want around my area with the lighting package going for 28k and that's where I'd like to keep the price. I don't want/need anything more than the lighting package for my GTI so I'd like any advice, things I should know when shopping for this, talking to the dealership, anything and everything I should know as a new VW owner, specifically a new GTI owner.
True novice when it comes to VW in general. I've been driving my manual 98 civic ex since I first joined the Navy so this will be a major upgrade for me. I'm pretty much done rowing my own gears for my daily commuter due to the 4 surgeries on my left knee so I'm definitely going with the DSG.
This GTI is going to be my new baby and I'm rather excited so I want to make sure I do this right and prepare myself before I buy it. As you can see I'm not one to replace cars often. Once I find something that works for me I stick with it until it's not serving me the way I'd like it to. Trinity (my civic) has been a great servant (280k miles) but her time has passed and I think I deserve to treat myself to a new and completely different class of car.
Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you!
