Hello all... I'm new to VW, GTI and this forum. I just bought my MK6, from Smith VW on Kirkwood Hwy, last Saturday. It was used and someone did a lot of upgrades to it.
From what i can tell so far, it has an APR Stage II ECU, APR Carbonio Intake, exhaust (not sure what or how much) it definitely sounds good though, 20% Tint all the way around, yellow head/fog light covers and Stage 2 clutch installed by NGP Racing (Aberdeen, MD).
It has about 15k miles on it and as soon as I took it out on a test drive, I fell immediately in love. It was a hard sell for the wife, cause I have two kids.. lol But I told her, we would drive her Unlimited Wrangler, if we needed to have more room.
I was told by the dealer that the previous owner traded the MK6 in, because they "couldnt afford the payments". I find that terribly hard to believe. Especially since they put all this work into it. They said they traded it for a Jetta. SMH.
Sorry for the long story, but just wondered if any of you knew who might have had this car before and all the upgrades they did, also why they REALLY traded it...
Also, happy to be here and hopefully we can get together for some fun/beers/mods/all of the above...
Here is a pic of the car from Smith's website.
