    The time has come to part ways with my '08 Rabbit 2.5T.
    I am the original owner of this car (title in hand, no lien), having logged just over 61,6XX miles. CARFAX
    This car is not my daily driver, so the mileage increase will be MINIMAL while this thread exists. It's currently only driven on weekends and, at this rate, only one weekend a month. Most of the miles put on it in the last year were to Waterfest in New Brunswick, NJ & SoWo in Helen, GA.

    This car has been featured as Black Forest Industries' Project 2.5T.
    All work has been done by either myself, or BFI's technicians.
    Receipts are available for all routine maintenance, oil changes, aftermarket parts, etc.

    There are no major problems, but there some minor cosmetic issues with the car. Usual stuff for a car that's 5+ years old..
    There are small rock chips on the hood, a couple small door dings, a minor scuff on the front bumper and, the worst of them all, a crack in the lower portion of the windshield courteous of a rock on the freeway. *see pictures for damages
    Overall, none of these cosmetic imperfections take away from the overall appeal of the car.

    Mechanically the car runs great - there are no CELs, no hidden probelms. The car just passed NC Emissions this month (Jan 2013) without issue.

    I'm probably crazy for selling the car, but having been doing this for over a decade and the reality is, projects come and go.

    Test drives will be arranged for serious inquiries. Please contact me via PM.

    What kind of power is this putting down?

    Based on what similar setups are making, somewhere around 300whp.
    I'm not one to speculate about power output, but that's the best answer I have for you.
    It's plenty fast and a blast to drive - that's all that really matters to me anyway.

    I took the Rabbit for a spin today. Nothing like 5-cylinders under pressure on a beautiful afternoon.

    Hmmm, I'm intrigued.
    PM with more details; eg how much cash.

    I need the cash for an investment and don't want to tap other funds.
