My personal vehicle that I had for ~5 months.

NYSpeed price of $38,900.

Great car, incredibly comfortable and pretty quick.

Vehicle comes with an additional 2 year/24,000 mile Certified Pre-Owned Warranty and our Engines For Life program.

Financing available and as always, I am happy to take anything in on trade.

Was one of the first 500 Golf R’s in the states and I will include the certificate, the watch, a key chain and other stuff that came with it.

Thanks in advance!

Adam

Yes sir!

Just sold two, one going to Ohio and the other Minnesota. There’s a white one on it’s way from Germany that will probably be staying “local”.

“Local” as in my driveway.

Well…

The Golf R is going to be a nicer daily and much quicker to boot. Plus there are only 2 or 3 in WNY, this being one of them.

Great read comparing the Golf R vs STi. A lot of it will apply to the WRX too.

Cool color - great car for sure.  
I don’t know a lot about these - so did they come out with the golfR, offered in MT…then drop the option for MT originally for the newer body styling?

Do these come from China? They might have become a bit harder to get.

if they’re built in Germany, I highly doubt they’d transport them across Asia, and ship them across the Pacific, if they were being ordered in NY…

I may have misunderstood the thread. It sounded based on almostbretts response that a German ordered one was different.

This [Chinese source claims](http://api.tgo.so/paper/showNews.do?detailid=20150813100038175&newsType=1&apiVersion=3.0&share=1) the list of damaged vehicles includes:

- 1065 Touaregs
- 114 Golfs
- 391 Beetles
- 84 up!s
- 257 Tiguans
- 39 SportsVans
- 28 Magotans (locally built Passats) and 770 “Specials”, whatever those might be

Not too many golfs in there to begin with

Golf R’s are only produced in Wolfsburg Germany.

The lease deal on these cars are halfway decent.

Even though it’s Pre-Owned, you can lease this car for $469/mo with just taxes down (Less than $2000).
