Vehicle Description
2008 Volkswagen MK5 GTI
GOOD news:
- Brand new stage 2 clutch and throw-out bearing
- Brand new stage 2 pressure plate
- Brand new stage 2 lightweight flywheel
- Brand new performance intercooler
- Brand new upgraded coil packs
- Brand new NGK spark plugs
- Heated seats
- Power windows
- Power Locks
- Power hatchback
- Cold A/C, hot heat
- Interior is in good/clean condition
- Comes with new performance radiator and other spare parts
"Bad" news:
- Needs new brakes
- Might need new wheel bearings in the future
- Needs new bushing kit for the shifter (Shifter works fine and goes into every gear. Just a little sloppy. Can definitely be fixed.)
- Some minor rust spots (not bad at all for a 2008 VW)
I believe in a fully transparent car buying experience. When I bought this car I was looking for a small project car. I ended up getting VERY mislead about the condition of the car and I will never do that to another car buyer. I was told the turbo needed a replacement output sensor to clear the error code and fix the power output. The engine ended up having no compression. Since then I have put a certified used engine in it with only 65,000 miles and I have had no issues with it. Engine is strong and has a good idle. The car runs and drives perfectly fine overall. It just needs some tender loving care and general maintenance. It would make a good first car, daily driver, or a fun project car. I just moved into an apartment and have another car. I no longer have the space or time for the GTI. Feel free to text me with any questions and/or come see the car.
