You can always buy it out of state. Below thread should show you the deals what people are getting.

For 2018 even the base S model gets the PP with the upgraded brakes. The only thing it doesn't get is the VAQ. The double up on the warranty is certainly nice as well.

But the order guide says otherwise.

Only SE and AB has Larger, upgraded front & rear vented disc brakes (w/GTI logo on front calipers).

Actually I do have a trade that I still owe on so the process of getting a vehicle appraised from an out of state dealer goes out the window.

Unfortunately I don’ think the S model gets those options the power boost yes but not the bigger brakes.

The 2018 S does NOT get upgraded brakes. The only thing it gets out of the "performance pack" is the +10 HP boost.

Good info. Thank you for clarifying. I was wondering how I got lucky and avoided the GTI writing on the calipers.

wasn't it decided that Performance pack meant brakes and LSD and not power

In previous MYs, PP included those three items. Not sure if anyone decided anything later.

No & never will be any other variation as the VAQ & "R" brakes add more weight to standard car...so they have to increase the engine power slightly to compensate...for those two items together..

Just came back from seeing a 2017 GTI S CPO DSG tranny black exterior with 5600 miles clean inside and out. Checking out the Carfax I see that it was owned by a fleet ??? Selling price of the car is $21498 before taxes, tag and fees. What do you guys think ? Should I be worried ? Test drove it and it was pretty smooth.

I wouldnt even consider a used “fleet” vehicle for this price after looking at the deals other members are getting here on brand new ones with people’s warranty.

Really ? I thought that being that it only has 5600 miles and certified that it was a pretty good deal considering 200 miles away the same car with 5000 miles more was selling for about the same price ? Only difference was that the other car was a leased vehicle not a fleet but was certified as well.
