Hello all,
I've been on the forum for a while now but have not yet posted my adventure so far with my 2013 Golf.
So here goes the story.
It all started in the summer of 2015 when I had just paid off my first car, a 2008 Honda Civic that I bought when I was a junior in high school.
The Civic had been in a accident before I purchased the car. It was rear ended and when I looked at it before purchase, it looked perfect. 4 years later, basically the whole area where the emergency tire sits had rusted. So bad that the body shop had originally quoted me $800 to repair it. Then when they started, I got a call that the price to fix would increase to about $4,000. I asked to give it the used car special and just make it look pretty and fixed.
Having grown up in a very German household, VW's were a normal sighting in our garage. And knowing the diesels are amazing from VW, I decided to look there. I was mainly looking at Jetta's since my best friend had leased one and loved the way it felt and drove... but it was a gasser.
I went to our local VW dealership and found by accident this 2013 Golf TDI.

Sold the Civic via Craigslist and made a nice down payment on the Golf. It was just what I was looking for. Plus the previous owner, of a Porsche Racing Team for that matter (according to the sales people), had gotten the entire front of the car protected in Lamin-X. The headlights, the grill, the foglights, no area was spared. He traded in the TDI for a MK7 Gti that he was specifically looking for.
Here is the first few pics of when I brought it home.

The Golf had 23k miles on it upon purchase, the carpet mats were still sealed in the original plastic in the trunk, and the car felt like it was still new. This guy babied this car is what it felt like. I have plenty more pictures coming and story continues.
