Hey all,
Considering moving onto the next vehicle, would like to sell my car to another enthusiast but having trouble assessing value due to it being a manual autobahn (I understand these are somewhat sought after?) and having had two incidents with body work. Was hoping to get some opinions.
(apologize if this isn't the right place for this, looked around and this seemed the most appropriate)
2012 GTI 4D Autobahn 6MT - Carbon Shadow Gray (not many autobahn's are manuals)
109,000mi
currently in stock guise
2 "accidents" though neither was a collision, per say. One was a parking garage scrape- fender and bumper cover replaced. Another was a deer hit- replaced bumper cover, headlight, fender, etc and repainted front end. Fair amount of work done but was entirely cosmetic. Work included new OEM VW HID headlights bilaterally.
Exterior - 7/10 - for a car with 109k miles, it's a stunner. Few small scrapes on rear bumper from loading/unloading and a scuff by the passenger rear door entry. *mild* curb rash on one wheel.
Interior - 8/10 - leather has been cleaned/conditioned every 6mo since purchased at 42k mi
mechanical - 10/10 - No mechanical issues
Tires - 50% left
Brakes - 30% left
red coil packs
updated timing chain tensioner
revised intake manifold
revised water pump
carbon cleaned around 80k
thanks in advance for your help!
