I mean this with absolute respect, but if you can't sell this on Vortex you will never sell it on here.. Wrong clientele and modifications unfortunately don't up the value of most cars

Appreciate your feedback, but as you can see I am open for a trade + cash for a Cayenne TT, and there are not any at the Vortex.

Because the only reason I am selling is that I am in need of a vehicle that can pull my trailer and still be fun when not pulling the trailer.

As for the time it takes, it sometimes takes longer to sell a well balanced professionally tuned car, and even if you take the mods at 30% it is still a great deal, considering dealers are selling stock GTI's with double or triple the miles at 21k with no Factory Warranty

So $ 4k over the dealer price, still with Factory warranty, is a very reasonable price IMO

If you somehow still have it a few months from now, I would probably be interested. The only turn-offs of this car for me is maybe the color and definitely the plaid cloth seating. I prefer leather but I hate the plaid look, don't know why they did that...
What's the mpg like? As that would be the reason I'd want it over my GTO. Something with better mpg but still very fast and has decent amount of room.

Hi

The plaid cloth is a VW thing that goes back to the original MK1 GTI, and is very popular in the VW scene
It is possible to do a swap, since the cloth is popular, the cost is not that high

As for mpg, I have seen 30 highway on a regular bases, and average you should be able to do 23/24 easy

It is very roomy and suprisingly comfortable for a compact car, did some long trips with 4 people in the car and luggage and everybody was comfortable

Fast it is, and rock stable at any speed, recorded 164mphgps verified with 4 on board stable as a rock and it was still going faster

This car surprises a lot of way more expensive / "faster" cars, the major engine hardware mods are OEM parts (Turbo and IC from Audi S3, Injectors from Audi S4 etc)

If I still have it in a couple of months, let me know
I'll see if I can check what a leather interior swap runs these days

Thx
Mike

Just checked the VW forums, and you can get full leather (front seats + rear seats + door cards) for around $ 1,000, you would be able to sell the cloth interior for at least $ 500, so a swap would be in the $ 500 range

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks

I can get that at any dealer
If I cannot sell it I'll keep it, and find another solution for pulling my trailer
