I bought this car in may, it's been my trusty daily driver since then and I love it but I'm always in the market for something new. I purchased the car from a dealer in california, it has a clean carfax and a ton of routine maintenance already done when I bought the car but I decided to do a complete overhaul.

- Garage kept 2008 tornado red GTI 2.0t 6SPD with 111,000 miles on it. It had one previous owner who took immaculate care of the car, all the servicing was done at a VW of Beverly Hills. The previous owner traveled from LA to SD weekly hence all the miles. The car runs amazing and gets great gas mileage, I only got 1 CEL and that was the #4 coil went out so I replaced all 4 to avoid the problem.

--maintenance--
-OEM Rotors and Hawk HPS pads 1k ago
-set of 4 OEM F coilpacks & ngk plugs 1k ago
-Full Fluid flush(oil, coolant, transmission and oil change from VW dealer 500 miles ago
-Valve cover seal replaced by vw dealer 500 miles ago
-Thermostat replaced 500 miles ago
-Hankook 225/40 tires with 90% tread left
-Cabin filter replaced and a/c charged 500 miles ago
-K&N air filter replaced 500 miles ago
-OEM fuel filter replaced 500 miles ago

--modifications--
-6k HIDs & ziza projector fogs
-09 S3 clutch kit from ECS 1k ago
-ECS clear sidemarkers and mirror lens

-Pros-
-The interior is spotless and smells fantastic
-runs great, looks great, gets amazing gas mileage and is still pretty quick

-Cons-
-Small paint chips on the hood and front bumper HOWEVER I have acquired authentic tornado red paint from vw and both WILL be resprayed professionally before I sell/trade the car. The paint on the rest of the car is almost perfect only a few small swill marks and nicks.
-2 very small dents, 1 on the passenger rear quarter panel and the other on the driver rear quarter.
-Missing the grill GTI emblem however I already ordered an authentic oem one from vw and will have it in 2 days.
-Wheels have a bit of curbage, and quite honestly look like dick but then again I didn't plan on keeping them on the car very long and probably neither will you

NADA is $13,500 I'm asking $12,500 OBO

Trades: 350z,s2000, y33 or something vip, something I can drift? Let me know what you have, worst I can say is no. I have cash to add depending on the trade and I will accept trades + cash for lesser cars.
