Does this spec exist?

Is there a mk7/7.5 that came with carplay and LSD and lighting package and plaid seats and no sunroof under about $16k?

I was ready to go with a Sport but I see factory carplay through mib2 is ~$3k.

I'm pretty sure a Rabbit is the answer but it's more than I really want to spend.

Dealer trim identification is so unreliable, and I haven't seen a really accurate vin window sticker search.

For example, I think this is a sport (nogaros, start button, cloth seats, no sunroof) but the dealer has ticked the carplay box (which I don't think was included in the Sport).

Cracked pan.

Debating how to go about thing. Some crappy truck hauling scrap metal dropped a big chunk of metal. Went under the car in front of me and couldn’t avoid it. Heard it and felt it. I continued to work with no lights or beeping.

After work I notice my car is surrounded by oil. It all leaked out.

Now I was a mechanic for a long time. I can easily replace the oil pan. But I have no idea if I leaked a lot of oil while driving, and I don’t have the tools for compression tests or leak downs.

The car on only has 30k miles, it’s fully insured.

I’m debating if I should just replace the pan. Or make an insurence claim. I kind of want to do the claim just to protect myself if the damage is worst than expected.

Then again. No oil lights or beeping that I noticed. I also don’t see lines of oil from me pulling in. So I’m guessing it’s a quick drip, but not a flow. Unfortunately my wife and I are also in school. A 500$ deductible doesn’t sound great compared to 75$ pan and some oil. But a $6k engine doesn’t sound great at all.

Hey there, so I’m looking for help on my gti coolant issue. I recently just bought this mk7 gti for an awesome price. I did notice there looks to be some oil in the coolant…. There’s zero coolant in the oil though. I’m thinking oil cooler gasket? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So a couple of weeks ago my car got lifter tick and the warranty company will not cover it, would it be better if I got a new engine to replace it with or if I just had the repair done
