Good deal!Yeah lol the more I thought about it the GLI is a lot nicer/better built car. I didn’t tell my wife anything about pricing until she drove one and compared it to the Passat.
We have a seven year old and a three year old, who regularly ride around in my GTI. The GLI has a slightly larger rear seat so we’re all good there (good enough anyway). Car seats do take up a ton of room, but now that they’re in a booster and a slim fwd facing it’s not cramped at all. Definitely still something to consider if you have little ones rear facing as that’s tight with me being 6’ 2”.
As for the pricing it negotiated $30,500 OTD. I put 5k down, and 0% for 60 for the remaining balance which is $425 a month.
She called me out on the development work lol, but I assured her I won’t tune the GLI. For now it’s just getting a FMIC, and it there’s enough interested I may consider using it to development a CBE (already have a DP & MP available for GLI).
congrats man, that’s a sweet ride. I’m a bit jealous. I won’t be when I throw my Bilstein and r springs on the Alltrack, though
This will also give me an opportunity to dive deeper into maintenance on my car and our suburban. I plan to have the injectors cleaned (24 hour turn around) once the third vehicle is officially in the fleet.
That's awesome!
Which new rear car seat did you get?
Crazy that there's no rear (air) vents though...looks weird with it just being blanked out.
So did you get, what, like $4k off MSRP or so, and then the 0% financing too? (I guess it depends on the taxes in your state too)
If so, not a bad deal at all!
My dealer and I are working out parts for the rear vents/USB/12v. On the surface it doesn't seem as difficult or extensive as the MK6 since the rear piece seems to be separate on the parts diagrams. ROW cars have vents and USB so ducting and electrical MIGHT be plug and play. We'll see.Crazy that there's no rear (air) vents though...looks weird with it just being blanked out.
Damn nice! Good call on the color, another white one in the fleet and you get labelled the boring dad in the school car line. I have this funny feeling you will be driving it as much/more than she will .
