I hope the VW works out for you, it looks to be a fun car. Sorry the Bronco didn’t work out but the main thing is that you finally got the car that works for yo-enjoy!
I never said the Bronco didn’t work out!

LOVED the Bronco!

I just can’t afford to own everything all at once, so I sell stuff to get new experiences.

I’m an automotive whore, to be accurate.

Love every brand, loyal to none!

Now I see the problem. The Vespa back in the corner says it all

Not into La Dolce Vida, huh?

Sounds like you need a little 2 Stroke fun to loosen you up!

…and traded my 23 Badlands for a 23 VW GTI 40th Anniversary edition that was sitting on their used lot, showing a bit under 7,000 miles.

No complaints at all with the Bronco or Ford! I’m just a fickle bugger who craves variety.

Very happy with the trade allowance - my 23 Badlands non Squatch was $45k out the door from Stephens Auto Center, and I managed to get a trade allowance of $40k today, despite a small accident showing on my Carfax, from when my rig rolled down my driveway and hit a retaining wall.

It’s been fun! And trading in a heat wave means there was no 7MT rattle to be heard!

Is the 40th anniversary edition a rare model??

(I know next to nothing about VW, in case that wasn't obvious.)

Edit— Never mind, Google to the rescue. 1500 total allocated to the US.

Apparently, they only released 1500 to the U.S., and only half that with manual transmissions.

Which I take to mean that VW recognized they’d be lucky to sell an average of 12 stick shift hot hatches per United state, given that no one really drives “cars” any more.

I was the oddball driving a 2 door Bronco with a 7MT, and now I’m continuing that fine tradition with yet another enthusiast toy.

Congrats, and sweet choice on the manual. Had a MK7 for a few months, fun car. Keep an eye on those EA888 water pumps!

I understand. I have a wandering eye for vehicles. I haven't had one last long enough to payoff the loan in about 20 years.

Four years is the longest. Some didn't even last to the first oil change.

Enjoy the VW and what comes after it.
