Hi everyone, pick up my new car in a few days and say good bye to the Jetta GLI. I'm so excited to get this car I honestly don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight 
I'm in the middle of Canada, WInnipeg Manitoba. Been wanting a Bimmer for as long as I can remember and almost ahve to pinch myself to see if this is real!
I know I paid on the high side for this car, 37g cdn but it is imaculate with only 41000km on it, warranty until July. It was a one owner local car that was traded in for a Volvo S80. According to the computer it needs oil in 24k, brakes in 80k, plugs at 120; I'm assuming the computer will tell me when I need service.
I got lowballed on my trade but was able to end up getting 17k for my 2005 Jetta GLI so I thought this was a fair trade.
It's silver with a really nice 50% tint all around. Has the factory 17's with TONS of tread left. The wood is a dark grey color, almsot looks like CF. Much nicer then grandpas wood
Extra clean, looks like its right out of the showroom. The wood looks like there are zero scratches or scuffs. Hopefully it will be reliable!
There are a lot of nice cars on this site and I look forward to the fun! I'll post some pics up when I get it on Tuesday

I love the silver! I think that it really accents the lines of the car and gives it that extra sweetness
I thought that I was going to want to mod it right away but I'm actually happy with it stock at them moment. (Plus the wife wont let me spend any more money on cars nutil 2010! 
)There are certainly some options out there and not nearly as expensive as I thought they would be.
