Exciting! Been through many cars, this would be my 14th car to have ever owned in my 27 years of living, but the VERY FIRST ever, brand-new, off-the-lot purchase!
2019 Golf R in the beautiful Indium Gray Metallic paint!
Been looking and lurking on this forum for some time now, and this month, my bank had a promotion for New Auto Loans that will only be for the month of July (2.19% APR for 3/4/5/6 years or 3.19% APR for 7 years), so I figured now was the time (or wait until end of year promotions).
Specifically told the dealer I was looking for that color and it must come with the DSG and Gloss Black Pretoria wheels!
Also noted that I DID NOT want the front license plate mount bracket installed (drilled). Sales manager told me they would be breaking the law if they sold it without the bracket pre-installed, so it was standard protocol to have it installed once it reached its destination (California laws). Told me he was willing to cross the line and not have it installed (the 2 Golf R they had in the showroom were already drilled, Lapiz and Black), but the only real chance I had was if there was one right off the boat, pre-destination. That would be the only way to get his hands on one with the mount bracket uninstalled.
He searched their inventory and found that there was one spec'd the way I wanted, that had just come off the dock, but was headed to a dealership in the next few days. Luckily, it was a dealership that is linked with them, so I told him I wanted it! After some financial procedures, he went ahead and put in a deposit to intercept the destination and have it routed here!
Yesterday, it finally made its way to the dealership! Such a beautiful color combination! I will add more photos today, but my first cosmetic mods will be the ECS flush kit and Eibach Pro lowering springs!
The dealership also includes a 25 year/250K mile power train warranty (starts after the 6 year/72K expires) with the purchase of a new vehicle! Shout out to Michael Volkswagen in Fresno California!
Added new photos, excuse the busy garage and my brother's Lambo
More on the way as my subtle mods start coming in!
