That being said, if you really are interested in actually being able to drive the R, as others have said, go to a different dealer.
I'm not sure how far you are from Wilmington DE, but Smith VW is a phenomenal dealership. You can get your new car factory warranty voided before you even pick it up from them. It would be worth the trip and I know they have a white 2018 R in stock because I was there on Monday.
Fixed that for you.
