I just picked up an 08 w/ 5spd LSD and fulll loaded for 14.2k.
Completely bone stock, drives like it's brand new. I guess I got lucky that the previous owner was an old dude and just used it for driving highway.
I have yet to have any of these issues that 08's supposedly have, and the car has 62k miles. Brakes are fine, no electrical problems, and stock clutch still bites hard.

welcome! i'll be honest i bought my 08 in 2010 and i still get the wow factor at the response of it! sure i put the gm upgrade on but it still wow'd before! i ride sportbikes and definately still feel good driving the cager just cuz the pep is always there! besides unlike the gti's it can haul me the fiancee and two kids, and the two 70lb dogs in the back and still have room for my subwoofer and amp at 25mpg haha
i wont lie though.. i do love my buddies 4 door gti they are sweet haha

Lots of upgrades for the SS, if you got the $. 400 H.P. will be expensive, so just throw your wallet against the wall, if you care to go there. Plenty of H.P. to be had, with fewer mods, and lot less $. Trying to hook up the H.P., is a big problem with these FWD rides, so easy to bite off too much, and can't put it to the ground. About 325 H.P. is plenty in these. "Moon"
