i hope the biker recovers. despite the supposed speeded, a glove thats on fire sounds like a fuel leak before the bike impacted.


Any way i hope your office has camera to catch your face when your boss says "uh, your car is on fire outside"

In for part out

Crazy story OP, I wish this best for you and the rider.

Sad to hear about your GTI. Glad you were not in the car at the time. Speedy recovery wishes to the biker. Good luck on the hunt for a replacement. :thumbsup:

Good luck on replacement. I hope the biker learns lesson if he came out as alive.

Hope the biker despite whatever their actions recovers.

any updates? biker doing good?

Condolences to the rider. Car and bike are easily replaceable.

I see the passenger door is opened. Did you try to grab stuff out?

That sucks, sorry for the trouble that you are going through.

I just bought my 2011, not a huge selection of cars available right now in the Vancouver area. There are a few 2015's on Craigslist that are priced pretty aggressive.

I found a 2012 CW 3-door CW with 35k and no accidents on it for $22k. Will probably negotiate a little but most likely my new car.

Looked around at BMWs as well. Found a silver 2014 328i...decked out and only 6k on it for $30k but one minor $2500 accident...and the guy on the phone sounded super shady. "I give you good price, my friend." sorta dude.

You got the pictures to load! What an insane chain reaction to him slamming into your car! (Hopefully, the biker is recovering nicely.)

Anyway, if you buy another GTI I will hire someone to ram a Mack truck into it. Why? Because you are now in prime position to buy a 2012 R! :thumbsup:

$22 is about the going rate for the 2012, I find most of the cars around here are asking a high price, and as a result they have been sitting for months. I was going to buy a 2016 fully loaded GTI, but came across the 2011 that I couldn't say no to the price. VW Dealer put a CPO on it, and I am good to go for a few years. The BMW guy wasn't supper shady, he was just a typical BMW owner! :thumbup:

LOL nah, he had several cars on sale. Ad said Surrey, person on the phone said Port Coquitlam...

I think I can talk down to about $20xxx for the car. I would buy a new 2015-16 but it's still too much. $40k+ after taxes?

The good news is Cowell has agreed to let me keep my extended warranty and free maintenance if I buy another GTI, even if it isn't from them, since I'm still paying for it anyways.

I was getting a price of just under $44K for a fully loaded 2016, picked my CPO'd loaded 2011 with 49KM for $20K taxes in. It was a great price, just needs new wheels as I hate the Detroits. That is nice of Cowell, I hear that they are a great dealer to deal with.
