Sorry but that seems like a pretty high price for a 6 year old R.

 

[MrClean]

At first glance, sure.
But it’s priced true to market right now.

Plus, show me another 2015 R with an existing VW warranty ($2k), wheel and tire warranty ($700), with Euro R taillights, clear bra, ceramic coat, in this condition and low mileage.
Not trying to argue but explain there are key differences compared to just any 2015 R out there.

I’d be willing to negotiate with original wheels and taillights.

OP, Just curious did you see how much Carvana/Vroom would give you?

You never recover the cost of modifications.

Gary? Taylor here! Haha cant believe you have two R's! This owner takes care of cars. You will not be disappointed.

Carvana offer should be around $27-28k while Vroom will be a bit lower. Best guesstimate based on research as I'm in the market for one right now.

Yeah I figured, I got curious and checked, $30k at best

3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain
So I’m not sure what warranty the car is under. And if you paid for an extended warranty, most of them aren’t transferable so it has zero value to the next owner. Yes at $34k the car is overpriced.

The 3/36 is a VW offered and backed bumper to bumper warranty that I purchased in March 2019. It’s not an aftermarket warranty.

I would not argue with that point about pricing for the most part. I only thought about selling because I’ve seen the huge uptick in the used car market. Go take a look at cars.com. I was somewhat amazed to see so many low mileage (newer) Golf Rs for sale in the high 30s to low 40s. You just don’t see 2015 Rs in this condition and this low mileage. It’s an outlier and therefore hard to peg with a price based on the car existing pool of cars available.

I also agree you don’t get the value out of mods or upgrades.

All this said, I’m not unreasonable; I’m not desperate or in any hurry to sell but for someone that appreciates a 95-99% example of a Mk7 that’s never seen rain or snow, this may be the car for you.

I’ll get some more photos posted soon.

Thanks for chiming in Taylor!

Yes, this is an exceptional example that I know will be extremely difficult to replace in kind - especially with the efforts to get it just the way I wanted. If it sells, like other cars I’ve had, I anticipate there will be moments of regret.

 

[JC_451]

Yikes.

 

[MrClean]

More pics.
The car actually could use a cleanup now that I’m looking at it and taking pictures. Bit of brake dust and dust on the car. I’ll rinse it and 34 the entire car and take a few more pics.

 

[MrClean]

Tires are about 9/32” with date code of 8/2017.

 

[jimlloyd40]

Kelly Blue Book places the value at $25-28,000.
