Let’s put this out there right from the start: this could be the least ratty Ratty Rescue we’ve ever featured. It’s not perfect, but it is miles and miles away from terrible. The draw here is the low asking price. And a low purchase amount leaves money in your pocket. Mod money.
This week’s Find Of The Day is quite the package: a 2010 MK6 GTI with what seems like all of APR’s catalog thrown at it. As Nicolas Bowen commented on our Facebook page “That’s a steal considering my GTi just sold for $13 grand and only had APR CAI and APR cat back exhaust.” We agree. But maybe you don’t have $13,500. Maybe you’re a “built not bought” believer. Today’s not-at-all-Ratty Rescue is a similar 2010 GTI 2-door, but for a lot less scratch allowing you to build the car you want.
[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]To start off, here are the rough areas of the car: One, there’s a ding or two. Two, the wheels are plasti-dipped (maybe to hide scuffs?). Three, there’s a small oil leak. Four, the sunroof is fritzy. Five, the driver’s seat needs a good steam cleaning. But that’s it. Five things.
Here are the great things about this GTI: One, a $7995 asking price. Two, a DSG transmission (we know not everyone can drive a manual). Three, a coilover suspension. Four, recent mechanical service. Five, two new front tires. Six, bi-xenon headlights. Seven, the great plaid seats (once that driver’s seat is cleaned – it’s plaid, we swear). Eight, a low asking price.
If you’re looking for an affordable modern car to wrench on, here you go. Check out this 2010 GTI in-person in Sterling, Virginia. Take a look at the ad in our forums. Send the seller, VWVortex member -VDubSack- any questions you have. While you’re at it, check out APR’s website and start compiling a list of go-fast parts then build your own All-APR GTI.
