What did you do to your mk7 today?

[HstephenG]

Took my GTI to the dealer to check out a crack in the sunroof housing. While there they offered me $29k for my car. It is a 2019 SE with only 13k miles. I would have to look at my records but I don't believe I paid much more than that (before taxes) new.
The GTI is my second car and so I wouldn't need to purchase "high".
Going to think on it this weekend and research a little more.

^^^ They really are still desperate for cars to sell. I bought my GTI ~3-4 months ago and they were almost immediately trying to buy it back “Wait wait wait we could’ve sold it for more! Give it baaaaack!”

 

[HstephenG]

Cargurus is saying 31+... Carfax (which I use to log my DIY maintenance) says 30. I think am going to say 30k and we have a deal to the dealer.

They might even buy it back if it's not running. @Corprin will buy it for 4k over KBB if it's on fire.

Depending on what's currently wrong with your car tell them you're ready to proceed on the buy back offer.

Actually I'm hoping for a simple fix.

What % tint on your GTI?

30% on both cars, GLI has 50% on the windshield

"On second thought, I've reconsidered your offer to buy back my GTI..."

They might even buy it back if it's not running. @Corprin will buy it for 4k over MSRP if it's actively on fire.

FTFY

looks cool! please post pics when installed

Installed AliExpress rear diffuser.
Before and after

Install was straight forward. Couple videos on YouTube to use as reference. Had to take off the plastic clips that held the OEM diffuser to the edge. The mouting holes on the end did not line up; I just used zip ties. There is some gap; but I got bumped 3x in the last year so my bumper is already jacked. Do not have the brake light connected. Was gonna just connect it with the 3rd brake light but I cant find any good info on it. Not looking to do the flashy-blinky module, just want it to work.

OEM clip removed. Left/driver side.

Couple more.

Took my last ride in the GTI. $30k sale agreed with the dealer that we will complete on Tuesday.

Going to be taking off the odds and ends added to the car tomorrow. Will be doing separate "for sale" posts later but until then if anyone is interested in the following you are welcome to DM me (please don't clog this thread).

ECS 20/15 mm spacer kit (plus longer bolts)
Klii mk7 plaid license plate frame
Neuspeed Power Module
Eurocode front & rear brace
aFe air filter
OBDeleven
ECS center console insert
Some unused badgeskins stuff (wing mirror stripes, steering wheel and engine cover overlays - all red)

The car only has 13,000 miles. Most of the above was on for less than half of that.

This wasn't an easy decision but the offer was too good to turn down. Have a little one on the way too so having that cash close to hand will be nice to have.

Cheers!

What are you replacing it with?

What are you replacing it with?

Nothing. I have a truck too and will stick with that for the next couple of years (or until the next vehicle bug gets me).

NO earthly idea what I did to it.

Pulling into my driveway, the car practically stalled, started making a terrible clunking/clacking noise and wouldn't move forward. Turned it off then tried to restart, clunk clunk clack clack nothing. EPC and check engine light came on. Was able to get it started again a few minutes later to at least pull into the driveway. Stalled again. Now turning the key the starter goes but the car doesn't turn over. Fuel smell. All the CELs. Well, it was fun 3 months with this car. F.

OK, so the dealership is looking at it now.

Advisor first called me and he says I think it's the battery, but I noted that the voltage was OK and it was cranking hard. Then he said I have 2 bad wheel speed sensors, which is weird to me since I didn't have any symptoms I would attribute to that. He asked me what codes I pulled but it seems like he would be able to see those...But I shared what I got. Then he started asking about the tune situation and said my spark plugs are gapped wrong and that's why I have misfires, which doesn't add up to me because I didn't have any misfires while actually driving, plus the APR stage 1 low torque should run just fine with the stock gap. But he's going to go over it with the tech some more because the tech didn't realize it had a tune on it again. (If you recall, I bought the car CPO with a tune. Dealership offered to take the tune off. I did, then eventually added back a low-torque tune.)

So I left the call thinking if my issue is the battery, wheel speed sensors, spark plugs gap, or even all 3, then that would be a nice and easy fix. But I am sus at how the tune will be treated since I had it installed at a different VW dealership, even though it's the same tune this dealership installs.

Basically gonna assume it's something terrible and catastrophic that won't be covered under warranty, so hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised. #mindgames
