01 / OVERVIEW

THE CAR
TODAY.

This 2024 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn began as a damaged auction vehicle and was rebuilt through mechanical, front-end, body, paint and diagnostic work. The rebuild is complete and the GTI is now being offered for sale.

The history is part of the listing—not something hidden from the buyer. Lakache Auto documented the project so a prospective owner can understand both the finished car and the road that brought it back.

Final mileage, asking price and sale-day condition information will be updated as the listing is completed.

The front of the vehicle was rebuilt as the project progressed from auction damage toward a complete car.

03 / BODY

Body repair & paint

Body and paint work completed the exterior restoration after the mechanical phase came together.

A front wheel-bearing magnetic encoder ring was ultimately traced as the source of the lingering ABS issue.

Those items will be based on the GTI's condition at the time of sale rather than assumptions from earlier stages of the rebuild.
