Correct. You can not transfer APR software.

He will need to flash back to stock or regular stage 1. I cannot help but thinking he could have got as much or more by selling the car to an enthusiast as is, unless he's trading it in. Fortunately, I never heard of a dealer checking for a tune on a trade in. But one day they'll get wise, and your trade in value will drop $2,500. I've never heard of a dealer flashing a tuned ECU back to stock, only getting a new ECU from VW. So it's the cost for new ECU, R&R, no factory warranty, not being able to CPO the car. Not that it really costs them that much since they'll probably just wholesale it out but you'll pay nonetheless.

Updated thread with pricing and the closed out sales threads, I've not had chance to go through the new and open dialogue pm's yet (39 unreads between here and vwvortex)

Hey all thanks for the patience with email comms, I think I got back to everyone. Car is stripped and back together and finished by my good friend Dan last night in the wee hours!

Remaining items are in bold!

All those who purchased something, thank you, I will be packaging and shipping tomorrow.

Ok folks hectic weekend, I don't advise anyone to try to put this many modifications back to stock in a short period of time, but very little sleep, blood sweat, anger and a few tears later and its back to forecourt stock condition!!!

I'll start shipping parts tomorrow!

Cheers to you on the 997! Your GTI was a beast. Hope to claim some seat time in your new 911. Seems I missed the part out thread by a few days, a damn shame. The warranty lives on another day :)

This is not entirely accurate. I purchased a CPO 2015 GTI from a VW dealer that was APR tuned when traded. They removed the APR CAI and reinstalled the original air cleaner which the owner had kept and then sent the car to the tuner to be flashed back to stock. I was getting my CC serviced when they traded for it and they wouldn't let me test drive it until all this had been done and the car had finished being certified.

I know the previous owner had to pay them to reinstall the stock intake and for the reflash but he mentioned they didn't ding him at all on the trade value.

Didn't mean to hijack this thread and wish you the best of luck with your new project.
