I bought this Spektrum - Viper Green Metallic Golf R Manual new in May 2020 during peak shutdown. Got a great deal and have been daily driving this since.

Someone tell this guy his daily is actually an $70k car......

i can't believe a ~62k MK8 GTI is for sale, like at all.

Why do so many people pay for decent wheels and then toss shit ass tires on them?!

Because they didn't have any money left for good tires.

I considered that car... I bought mine in April 2020. My wife told me she'd leave me and I ended up with black. It was in Virginia iirc.

"Black"? Are you gonna under sell it too?

Honestly I only liked Ginster Yellow and the 2 Violet colors.... the non metallic "Squirrel grey" was nice too...very Nardo grey-ish....
The greens where okay, but just not the right green for me in this car... that viper green was too much imo lol

There was a silver/blue that looked like the 993 silver that I would have liked, but I think I'm probably one of about six people that cared.

they dropped the price now fyi.

I imagine the 'service fee' will be 10k

 

[PowerDemon]

I love how they list the 10k drop as “savings” like anyone was going to buy it at that price.

If you have 60k to spend on a car and you choose a MK7 Golf R over an M3 or M2 you are absolutely positively smoking crack.

If you have 60k to spend on a car and you choose a MK7 Golf R over an M3 or M2 you are absolutely positively smoking crack.

How would you spend that much on an R or that little on an M2?

The R is $45k with a manual or $46k with DSG and there are literally no options. So that’s as expensive as it gets.

The M2 is currently out of production but was $59k before options and easily into the upper 60’s with “normal” options. An M3 is $70k and easy to get into triple digits. You could have an R, a GTI and a Ducati for that kind of money.

Do you also post on BMW forums that buying an M2 or M3 is silly when you could have a GT3 or 911 Turbo?

Edit - oops, realized we were talking about the stupid dealer with a used Spektrum one. No one is paying that much for an R, you are correct, stupid.

Reminds me of when I had an M Coupe and the collective ownership decided to start pricing them at $65k. They were $45k new, but somehow that arbitrary number actually gained some traction and they still sell near there. The problem is that you have to have a pretty rare car and a solid group of owners that will band together for a movement like that. The R isn’t rare and doesn’t have that unified of an owners group.

Hehe, a few bucks under $100k

still has the factory rear diff mount that hasn’t been reinforced with a single eared diff. That rear subframe likes to tear quickly without the addition of better bracing.
