My Golf-R was $42K flat OTD cash back in 2017 (they only had the fully loaded trim) which was the same price I paid on my STI.

If you have other cars, now is a nice time to sell.

Smart money would part it out and unload it.

Yeah, I have other cars, but I'm going to keep my FiST because the car exhibits no mechanical problems, I like it for what it is with the mods I put on it, and no rush to sell. It was just funny to see I can possibly make money selling it right now. There are no more new ones coming out, so I better keep it in pristine condition.

I was browsing and saw a few used 2018 GTI SE for 28K with ~20k miles.
A new 2020 GTI SE is going for 29-30K. It's pretty unreal.

R's, at least in the case of the MK6 and prior, seem to keep their value very well. GTI's and Wagens going for near new prices is nutty, I kinda get it with the Nicer R's.

Window stickers are window stickers. Few cars go for the price on the window sticker. Volkswagens in America DEFINITELY don't go for the price on the window sticker.
Actually, most R's sold for sticker or above. VW discounts, rebates (military, partner, grad etc.) and special financing never applied to the R. Initially, many R's went for well above sticker, after the initial run, many were sold at sticker and it wasn't until stocks dwindled early this year that some dealers started offering tiny discounts.

I don't know if any were even were sold at anything approaching invoice.
