Took delivery of this beautiful Camry , 1998 with around 80k. It was my wife's grandmas car and it was more beat up then I remembered.
Then I stopped by the VW dealer on the way home from soccer. Tried to escape but they got me to agree on a deal. Base 2018 GTI, car is while silver but to me sort of looks like flat grey. Last edited by Jeff_DML; 09-30-2018 at 08:55 PM. |

Back to the OP, Only took me almost 4 years to get a VW. Sound like FC reliability wise the new 6/72k bb warranty is nice. Also negotiated in 5 years of maintenance. In my older years I like being able to ask my wife to take the car to the dealer without me having to deal with it.

I will say my first complaint, what the hell is with second being so long. Seems like I can go up to 100 with it.

Congrats on the new gti, love the color ... something about that car just looks like such fun ... You just want to jump in it and take it for a fun ride.
Maybe I missed the comment but are you keeping the turbo ? |
