| GTI Performance
I've been watching the price on this one come down for the past few months, I think it's in "Good Buy" territory now at $20K. I recall that one of the earlier versions of the ad stated that it also has an ECU tune. That gen of EA888 motor in the GTI can put out 297hp with just a tune. This one is the performance model with DCC and a ELSD front diff. I've driven one of these, they're pretty fun cars. This one comes with a nice set of BBS's and the stock wheels with winter tires. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml...894720074.html
2015 VW GTI PERFORMANCE - $19999 (Anmore) 
2015 Volkswagen GTI Performance, 6 speed manual. Rare performance pack option(limited slip differential, DCC adjustable suspension, Golf R brakes).

Factory euro spec LED tail lights. Car is in excellent condition, always run chevron 94 and use motul oil.

You need to watch for the clutch on these. They are weak and will slip, with kind of tuning.

But even then, there is no way a normally aged NC could be an $8k car.

Advertised mileage on CL vs the Autotrader ad is way off.
18.5 miles vs 76.5 kms.

Most of these seem way over priced. I feel that they should be under 10.

Not everyone's cup of tea -- but a rare & good weekend car at a good price. Has the bulletproof 3.2 instead of the weaker Kompressor engine, and it's manual!
Executor says it did not run when parked. Could be a gamble, at 58k miles I wonder if it is something simple and related to being parked all these years... or something catastrophic. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...909072995.html

I'd be surprised if it was a base model though, since it has alloy wheels. I thought the alloy wheels for this generation only came on the LX and above?
But damn it looks like a great buy (as a beater). IMO, the numerous dings and stuff means they are not worth fixing (professionally). But a little DIY elbow grease should get it back into a more presentable condition that will also slow the growth of rust. And then you just toss the car back into the market when you are done with it, and you can probably recoup your purchase price. So you are essentially just paying for maintenance to have use of the car. Quote:

DX-G has 15" aluminum-alloy wheels, electric variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, AC, power locks, remote keyless, and cruise control compared to the DX on the 2010.

BU | yep - what a great find. been awhile since anything in this thread has really got my wheeler dealer going. manual is unicorn as hell.
I'd be willing to bet it's an easy fix. wish I had room, as it is these days I'm shuffling the fleet around constantly. Another car would bury me
