YES you can buy a wrecked one for 7-9k BUT you will still have to fix, o please no dumb comments...You are bidding on a theft recovered 2012 VW GTI..This was a local vehicle that I tried to purchase from my local bodyshop but ended up chasing it to the insurance auction, purchased for myself to drive but have found something different I want.. The good about this vehicle is that is WASNT involved in a collision just vandalized and joy rode.. They smashed in thewindshield, rivers fender, nd looks like they laid on the hood and roof (see pics)( neither are something that NEEDS to be fixed as Iwasn't going to). I put a factory fender and two new tires (they slashed 2). This is a LOADED low mileage GTI, as every available option to include, eather, eated seats, ouchscreen navigation, eyless start, addle shift with the DSG transmission,TSI turbo motor, unroof, ace inspired steering wheel with controls, actory floormats,18 inch wheels, tc etc... If your looking for a GREAT, nexpensive daily driver that has a couple bumps and bruises (cosmetic only) then look no further.. I have been building salvage vehicles for 20 plus years and this unit is SUPER nice,,vehilce is being driven so mileage may change a little, ill have a fresh detail prior to pickup. I am doing a NO RESERVE auction so bid to own,, lease ask your wife, irlfriend, oyfriend, arents, ank, ignificant other before bidding and have your funds in place... This vehicle has a california salvage and will need to be registered in whichever state it goes to, will provide travel permit).A lot of myauctionsdon't make it to the end as I reserve right to end auction early.. Any questions please feel free to call me at 805 801 6575 This would make a great 1st car for a kid or an inexpensive commuter....
