2012 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn (open to motorcycle trade) - $7,000 (Jefferson Park)

Debating selling my 2012 VW GTI Autobahn Edition — clean title, runs and drives, and packed with all the premium features from this top trim. This is a great car for someone who knows VWs or has access to a mechanic. It’s still a blast to drive, and just needs a bit of mechanical TLC. Autobahn Trim Highlights: • DSG automatic dual-clutch transmission (super responsive, sporty feel) • Heated black leather sport seats • Sunroof • Touchscreen infotainment • Accents & red trim Mechanic Notes: Car is driveable right now, and has been my daily, but shop flagged the following: • Rear brake caliper is leaking • Drain plug may be stripped (care needed during next oil change) • Suspension bushings and sway bar links worn • Drive belt is getting dry/cracked The Good: • Clean Colorado title in hand • Interior in great condition • No engine codes • Drives and shifts smoothly • Tires still have life • Great platform for someone who’s into GTIs Asking $7,000 OBO — open to reasonable offers This is a perfect buy for a VW enthusiast or mechanic — it’s got all the right features, it’s still running, and most of the work needed is straightforward if you can do it yourself or have a VW shop you trust. Priced below market for the Autobahn trim because of the repairs needed. Don’t lowball me but I’m open to fair offers from serious buyers. Ready to test drive or answer questions — message me if interested! Also open to a motorcycle trade — ideally something mid-sized, clean, and beginner-friendly but still fun. Looking for something like: • 300cc to 650cc range • Not a full supersport — something streetable, agile, and not too twitchy • Think: Yamaha R3, MT‑03, MT‑07, Honda CBR500R, CB500F, Rebel 500, or Kawasaki Z400/650 • Clean title only — no projects, no salvage I’m 5’4”, so low seat height or narrow profile preferred. Not looking for anything wild — just something reliable and solid for commuting and everyday riding. Let me know what you’ve got — can add/accept cash depending on the trade value.
