Found this 07 white s-lie (real) TI loaded with everything except NAVI. 6mt, quat, etc...
It has 97k on it, the HPFP torx bolts dont look like they have ever been moved so I assume it has the stock cam follower.
Also has a cupra lip with some carbon fiber lip under that (with bolt holes for angling but they arent there), very ugly 2nd lip. Has a carbon fiber looking tail lip too. Oh and a little DTM badge.
And then it has a couple small dings, but all in all pretty nice and the TI wheels are perfect.
With the little that it has, I am assuming that it was a younger guy, and possibly on this forum. The dealership has no idea on the history short of the car fax.
Anyone know of a car like this in the Chicago area?
They want $17200 out the door (plates, title, reg, tax, car) with a new battery and oil change.
Also the ESP light is on (so ESP is off) and the guy thinks it is because it was sitting with a dead battery. Does that make sense? It has been at this place for a couple months, had my eye on it.
ESP light will turn on if the battery is removed. It goes away after 50 feet or so of driving. As far as the HPFP goes, I've seen an A4 with over 110K miles on the original cam follower and it had minimal to no wear when replaced. I'm sure there are plenty 2.0 out there in the same situation.

If you really want to ID the car, I'd post pics. Also maybe post in the regionals. But off hand, I don't recall anyone trading in a car like that recently.

I mean, a pic probably wouldnt help because I am sure that it had at very least different wheels on it. Just picture a stock TI white s-line...
Well, I am going to bring my cable tomorrow and see if it throws any codes, and hopefully it doesnt.
Thanks guys. glad to hear about the ESP.

boom, and another enthusiast joins our midst.
Pretty clean for the mileage. I went to college with this guy, work with him now, and get needed an upgrade from the Jetta TDI. We'll get some pics after Thanksgiving. And a good Ying Yang style photoshoot at the first snow.

Sweet wheels, more pics please - as I am pondering black wheels.

im at 84k miles...chipped for about 10k miles. ive had my original cam follower checked twice since ive been chipped and was told both times that its fine.

good to know. I think me and him are going to buy and install new cam followers and snub mounts pretty soon. Like I said, I'll get more pics soon. He just left for the weekend, and then I dont think we'll have time before we are both gone for Thanksgiving, but definitely after that.

i just baught this exact car (well not exact car, but white ti with every option but navi) for $16800 with 75k miles. youll need a timing belt job done litterally immediantly, so ide make them throw that in ($1200 job)

Yeah, I think we are going to buy 2 timing belt kits and try and get them both done in a day

The ESP light staying on can indicate an issue with the ABS (braking system)

So it's a ti without NAVI, 6mt, quat? I don't see the point honestly if that's the case.....

ha ha yeah, sorry for the confusion. My buddy Chad got it, I just let him borrow one of my trucks red tops because his battery was shot... but he will be joining us on here shortly. I was just talking to him and he wants to do a snub mount, cam follower, and timing belt asap, so I am probably going to do all that on mine with him.

Thats a pretty good price. 97k is a little high imo. Make me think my car is worth more than I thought. Does this one have bixenon?

Nice pick up! I don't remember ever seeing a car like that in the area, or know of anyone who owned one. Maybe do a carbon cleaning too since it has 97k?

yeah $14000-ish is what NADA gives it and we got it out the door for $17200 with everything and a new battery (sooner or later). Has bixenons. It is 100% loaded except for Navi and Bose audio. But 14000 is definitely not right. resale on these is a bit higher, and the manual they calc at -$700. Anyways, I think it might have been slightly high, but for how hard it is to find white quat s-line 6mt... in good condition. it was worth it
carbon cleaning... ehh... maybe. Maybe this summer he will do it when I do mine. I am just going to rip the intake mani off. Maybe the head if I get bored. I could do that with the timing belt and get the valves perfect again.

I didn't realize how rare it was to have a Ti car with halogens till i started looking recently and now I'm getting jealous.

no it has bixenons. just in white with s-line, ti wheels, piano black trim, and 6mt. It is pretty hard to find.
