This has been discussed ad nauseam here, but I think my situation is different enough to warrant a new thread and hopefully help others in a similar situation.
My 2010 GTI has an issue with the DSG transmission. Long story short, the differential is worn, and should be replaced. The car still drives fine, but it's a little jerky and doesn't always shift smoothly.
-Cost for this was quoted ~$3500 for new DSG installed from VW. (I started a different thread it here for reference)
-I still owe $5000 on the car through VW credit.
-Parting the car out will get me about $5000.
I love the GTI (other than sometimes the FWD traction issues), and you can see my mods in my signature.
I know I'm going to need to get a 4-door in the future (impending expanding family, no kids now), so my question is: why waste $3500 on a new transmission when I can put that towards a 4-door car (B8 S4)?
I'm looking for input on those with a new child (or twins) and how living with a 2-door has worked, and what you would do in this situation/why.
Thanks in advance!
