He's been around long enough (and knew the answer to his question obviously before asking it). I wouldn't try to burn a newer poster or somebody I didn't recognize. Take it easy, internet defender.

just have your mechanic look for tool marks on fasteners around the turbo, downpipe and air filter/intake system. wheels don't necessarily mean the car was modified and returned to stock, especially considering those are just cheapo xxr wheels.

that price seems good for CA i would not expect any significant discounts when the 18s hit the lots. sport model is going away in 18 and it's back to a S/SE/Autobahn options.

TraderStav posted:I'll be in the market for a new-to-me (2016-2017 model likely) car in mid-2018 and have been eyeing the Civic hatchback. What are some of the consensus thoughts on this? I like the stylings and amenities that Honda provides. I have three kids, but won't be the primary vehicle they'll be in so just need something that they can reasonably fit in from time to time. Bonus points for throwing the dog in the trunk which has me leaning toward hatches, which I've always had a fondness for. it's not really much of a "hatchback"

a mysterious cloak posted:So after having my hot hatch dreams dashed by Hurricane Harvey, we've had an unexpected windfall and a GTI is now on the front burner, hopefully in the next two weeks. almost none of the 2015's will have the performance package, if that matters to you. 17 sport will have it, along with no lovely sunroof.

Larrymer posted:This. Though if you're looking for one with a performance pack, the best way to tell visually that I've found is seeing "GTI" on the front calipers. I went with a '17 Sport because they're pretty cheap for what you get (used was about the same price another way to tell if it has PP is if the GTI logo will be red on front grill or rear hatch if it's silver it doesnt have it

) and it was the best trim for what I wanted. Cloth seats, no sunroof, the performance package, and a decent infotainment. The 16's are the first year to get Android Auto too, if that matters to you.

yes you will have to pay off any difference between the owed amount and what they pay you for the car at least with 0% interest you probably were making large payments to cut down the owed amount pretty fast

nah they're forged aluminum but you should be able to notice the lighter wheels, but how much you notice it will depend on if you are keeping the existing tires or upgrading to a better compound.

did my first oil change on the MK7 yesterday and it was amazingly easy with my schwaben oil extractor. first time i've changed oil and filter without touching pavement  i'm @ 9k miles and the car had finally consumed just a bit over a quart since new and tripped the "oil level low" warning.

BlackMK4 posted:If you don't have an extractor, they made it stupid easy this time around. The pan is composite and the drain plug is one that is like half a turn to seat/lock, instead of a regular bolt. Good VW. yeah but you're also supposed to throw out the plug and replace with new every time

a mysterious cloak posted:Out of curiosity, what do you find yourself messing around with? I don't have any long drives under my belt, just my daily commute, but I typically have something queued up that'll get me there and/or back each day, but other than that I don't fiddle with it much. Unless I just want to see how low I can get the eco-trainer thing to go, or look at the performance dials (attn. VW - add a PSI gauge to the little dashboard screen!). you mean on the head unit? there is a gauge for boost pressure

Anyone with a mk7 put a clubsport s muffler on their car? i'm considering picking one up and i'm not sure if i should have it welded on (cause i have no intention of removing it) or use one of the OEM clamp style fittings to install it.
