So wanted to post just a general update to the bought a GLI thread but thread was locked for some reason.
The traded in TDI with its multitude of issues has popped up on the dealer site for an eye popping $4.9k more than what we got in trade which we felt was an excellent value considering what calculated trade in, Vroom, CarMax and others quoted. Used car prices are so much over the map I don't think there is any source that can give you accurate value of what to expect.
Mind you we are not mad by any stretch of the imagination as the car developed hard starting issues and some odd rattling from the HPFP area, the shocks/struts were past their usable life, was coming up on a DSG fluid change and the timing belt was a big question mark. We took the $10k and ran with it.
Here she is in all her glory if anyone wants a TDI with ~8 months left on dieselgate warranty. In the week they took to list it they could have at least washed it and removed the stickers but dealers gonna dealer. Absolutely adore they highlighted the one wheel that lost its center cap. Can we say a huge sales fail?
