Considering mine is worth like 5 or 6k I'd say that's pretty spot on.

Including taxes and fees, it was right at 24k. It was above KBB. I had just totaled my Civic though (thank you deer... no seriously, thank you deer[emoji4]) and needed a new car very quickly. I had wanted a GTI for years and looked at them all the time. I knew exactly what I wanted. United Gray or possible Carbon Steel Gray, leather, sunroof, Lagunas or Serrons. They were fairly abundant when I wasn’t in the market. When I needed one if they were in the range that we were wanting to pay, they were all cloth or high miles or not good shape. We wanted to stay under $18,000. We could afford to pay that in one lump sum and continue to be debt free. My wife found my car on the Carmax website, and said, “What about this one?” I replied that it was way more than what we were trying to pay and was even above KBB. She said, “But this is what you want, right? And it doesn’t even have 12,000 miles on it. So let’s just get this one.”

Agreed. I drive the shit out of mine. It makes me sad that the miles are racking up but that is how I enjoy my car, not letting it sit in the driveway.

Man...so maybe about a couple months ago the bracket on my IE intake snapped, I got a new one, and it's sat in a box for a month. I finally got around to replacing it today. I loosened only the o-ring at the top of the coupler by the turbo and then pulled up and it pulled right up...like the coupler was just barely on the turbo. I could have pulled it right off without touching any of the o-rings. I have no idea how long it's been like that, but it's tight now, and the new bracket on the ie intake looks a lot better...no more brake pedal vibrations.

Went on Sunday & on a coupon day...no issues. In & out in 5 minutes
Mind you I live 10-15 minutes (8 miles) away though
Tips/my process:
1. Know what you want & where it's at in the warehouse
2. Park in loading zone (at the end, so I'm not taking up the closer loading spaces)
3. Grab cart & cut thru a open cashier lane to the warehouse
4. Grab item and pay & go

Since you’re throwing it away mind if I have it? Haha. I’m sure there’s a way to fix it.
