bleep

2003 GTI, 1.8t standard with 50K miles on it. Eilene and I did some pretty exhaustive searches, and this one turned out to be perfect.

The odd part came when paying. Despite finding my own financing and being a “cash customer”, I was required by Texas state law to provide my social security number. Apparently all car sales in the US are now run through a Homeland Security database as per the Patriot Act.
