2012 Golf R, 142K kms, out of province (don't know where), $16,500. Listed as clean, not a rebuild, and no accidents (assuming it is true). https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...073427663.html   | |

That's about it. I also dislike how his ad is a copy/paste from somewhere else, because he listed "HPA quad pack turbo-back exhaust" (?????) And initially it said 75,000km in the ad description (has since been removed). Tread carefully.

I didn’t even know they had that generation of the R in North America. I thought we only had the R in the mk7s.

But it is cheapest R listed out there. Getting into that $15K range, once that happens, I'm snapping one up. Quote:

mk6 and 7 had some big changes, mk7 uses the new MQB platform which is more rigid etc. https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/golf-mk7-vs-mk6-336 | |

No adjustable dampers, LED headlights, worse interior materials, about 50 less HP
As per Car and Driver's Lightning Lap, they're within 2 seconds of each other on VIR

I actually recall searing earlier R32's, even in highschool ~2003/2004, rare, but they existed. Quote:

Edit* Seller got flagged and made a new add ^ Above https://vhr.carfax.ca/en/main?id=BlS...J9YgacTycUiKYr
Not a good buy (it would be if it were what the seller claims it is) but I wanted to warn those who think it is. I was going to go look at this and pulled a carfax. Ex alberta, a few accidents, rolled odometer. It has registered KM at 290,000km 4 years ago so likely around 320-350k. I told the seller and they said they would pull the add and disclose in the future to potential buyers. Turns out they took the add down for 2 weeks and its back up as a lie.
Stay safe revscene

Why you'd drop all that money into a non cobra convertible I don't know. But the engine and trans is probably worth the asking price. Supercharged 1998 mustang - $14500 (Langley)  | |
