OK folks,
So...what do you get when you combine the not-at-fault crash of a great-condition Spyder, the generous payout of an insurance company, and a motivated executive looking to unload his previous commuter car?
You get this:
That's right, a 2009 VW Jetta TDI with 150,000 miles on it, loaded to the tits and for less than $9,000.
This thing is perfect! I couldn't be happier with it.
It's number 982, and as one of the first 1200 made, is one of a select few "Loyalty Edition" Jettas.
I tell you this: I will never purchase another gasser. This car is ridiculously fun to drive, gets friggin bad-ass mileage (I'm talking 35mpg+ while flooring it all the time!) and when you want it to, can easily get 45mpg on the highway.
Here's a few shots (and some of the kiddies too )
My daughter LOVES this car:
Naturally, I've got plans...but they're not big.
- debadge the 'Jetta' and 'TDI' from the rear
- tint the windows, 35% all the way around
- 18x8 BBS wheels, hoping to find some RS reps if I can...
- Coilovers for a 1.5" drop
- Stereo (of course...)
- fix the front lip where I busted it when loading it on the tow dolly :doh:
- tint the tail lights
- replace the right rear tail light because the PO cracked it after he sold it to me, before I picked it up
- replace the battery
- big-3
- sunroof visor
- Malone DSG tune for the transmission
- Malone Stage 2 ECU tune (with DPF...not going to remove that yet) to bump HP from 133hp/225lb-ft to about 163hp/295lb-ft
That's about it...I'm going to be using this car to commute with, so I don't want to go too crazy with it.
Anyway, I'm totally LOVING this car. :yesway::yesway:
