2013 Golf R

If I'm going to get the S4, the R needs to go.

This is a well cared for example. The miles are higher than average due to a 30 mile each way commute that is entirely highway - and not even stop and go. Interior is perfect. Exterior is marred only by a few paint chips on the hood and some minor scrapes under the front air dam.

42,500 miles. Only option available on the car was a package that included the sunroof and NAV. It's got that.

This is probably the best all around car I've ever owned. I have a feeling I may regret selling it. It just does everything extremely well while being practical and fairly invisible.

I have it listed at Autotrader for more but I really would like to get $28K out of it.

GLWS. Nice car.

EDIT: So did you never do that shift knob mod, or did you undo it for the sale?

I did the shift knob. The exterior pics were taken this afternoon. The interior pics are from when I first got it. I tentatively plan to put the stock knob back.

It was so "invisible" I didn't even know you owned it

Finally got a nibble and it looks like it might end up a sale. We'll see.

It's been pretty quiet.

The salesman I was working with hasn't replied to my emails.

I don't mind starting over. Timing isn't an issue. In fact, I'm glad I'm not being rushed.

I do wonder what happened.

Will you bother checking out a 340 and/or ATS, new Golf, etc or are you all set on the S4

2013 Golf R

I will check out the 340 to see if I like it better than the 335. I am also pondering looking for a manual 2011 535i Msport.

No Focus or Golf.
