Used Car of the Day: 2010 Volkswagen GTI

by Tim Healey

Published: July 29th, 2024

Today we bring you a Mk6 GTI for our used car of the day. This 2010 Volkswagen GTI is a high-mileage example with a manual transmission.

There are nearly 200K miles on the clock and the owner has replaced a long list of parts. The car does appear to have some minor mechanical issues.

Aftermarket parts include H&R springs, a turbo muffler delete, and the intercooler.

Our seller lives in New Jersey and the asking price for this S-trim car is $3,500.

Give it a look-see here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

This is a proper German beater.

The paint's dead and the 200k mile checkup is due on an engine that's already been blown up once and an undercarriage liable to have second stage tin worm. Whether you're looking for a beater or a project, the money needed to revive this is better spent on an example that's been better maintained. Send this one to the crusher.

  That would be the voice of reason and wisdom, but Tim is not known to be encumbered by the thought process.

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
