I need an extra garage spot to park the car, and I have no aptitude in fixing cars. So I don't see how this can happen.

I had a chance to take my friend's delsol around Vimc and it was awesome cause of the shorter wheelbase. https://youtu.be/5JQeLaB_uOs?si=eqLjEG_avf1Y9IeR |

The final-year 6MT Golf Rs could be something that holds value, if one can be purchased without strings attached. https://media.vw.com/en-us/releases/1759 Quote: |
Herndon, VA — Volkswagen of America announces the 2024 Golf GTI 380 today, a special equipment set standard on every 2024 manual-transmission GTI. Available exclusively in the North American market, this special-edition build combination celebrates the heritage of the manual transmission in VW’s hot hatches during the final year of three-pedal production for Golf GTI and Golf R. | | |

If golf r dude has all the receipts from the engine replacement and was done properly then I’d say it’s right in the realm of a great buy.

This is a solid deal for this Del Sol.
I've owned every trim level of this chassis including the SiR transtop.
People have been asking $10k+ for B16 VTEC variants for quite some time now.
It's a very sleeper chassis, not necessarily fast and the roof seals should already be addressed for this late model year. Definitely collectible. Clean it up and throw some collectors plates on it during spring/summer and you have yourself a very fuel efficient top down convertible. Bonus points if the seats have no tears, and no wrinkles on the door panels. Quote:

Absolutely that R is a car to drive the fuck out of and enjoy. I wish we didn't need the extra space of the wagon. Damn dog needs to start paying her way.

VTEC del sol are super rare. Nothing can beat the VTEC crossover of a B16. Music and joy to my ears.

i think you've been waiting all year to dunk on somebody - but actually you missed easy layups this whole time. you could have driven a Mk7.5 R for free for the past 2 years if you weren't hung up on what you think the market should be doing. | You know what, forget it.

Prob one of the better value listings out there for a Golf R MK7.5 - 2018, 1 owner, $37.8K, 40K kms, DSG ... if there is no hidden story. Dealer inspected, looks like it's at Open Road Audi in Burnaby. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9546846976051/

They wrote the price in kms spot and clearly aren’t trying to hide anything in the pictures.

Even at 66K kms, that's avg. Carfax reads clean, one minor accident < $1K. With OpenAudi dealer peace of mind.

I'm actually surprised OpenRoad Audi's doc fee is $395... I thought it would be in the $700 range

That's not that bad tbh, you service that thing like 2 times in the car's life.
Have you priced a set of tires for your LC lately? $700 a pop?

You service it a couple times... it seamlessly shifts for you hundreds of thousands of times
That's a way better deal than spending hundreds of thousands to get serviced a couple times  | |

If you go to an independent mechanic, DSG service is like 450-600, max. It's not that difficult to do for a shop that specializes in VWs/Audis
