What To Do If Your 20th Anniversary Edition GTI Has Been Written Off
|
Having your 20AE written off is not something we want to have happen. But it is
a car, and these things happen to cars now and then. The main thing is that
you're okay.
In order to be sure that no one is playing a mean prank on anyone, the process
of marking a 20AE car as being written off is obviously more complicated. If
your 20AE has been written off, please follow these steps:
- Photograph the deceased car.
- Email me to let me know, and attach the pictures.
- Create a new thread in the
20AE/337 forum at VWvortex.
These steps are not meant to embarrass you, but instead to inform the
community of this incident, and to provide tangible proof that this unfortunate
event has occurred.

New Owners Of Deceased 20th Anniversary Edition GTIs
|
It's not uncommon for insurance companies to sell cars that have been written
off to body shops. And it's possible that some body shops will perform
extensive repairs to make the car drivable again. It's also possible that the
new owner who buys this 20AE car will not fully realize what it has been
through.
If reconstructed properly, these cars might be as good as new again. It is also
possible that these cars might be stripped and parted out, and may never be
driven again.
The new owner of a deceased 20AE can register as being the new owner of it. But
once the car has been written off, it will always appear in this list as being
written off, regardless of how many new owners it has.
