3k for exhaust. You don't have to get it. It's no more than any exhaust you buy from Milltek etc.
Don’t forget the 1.8k for those wheels. Your car is 62k Msrp. That’s literally 20k more than my hitlerbox. Either that’s insane or that’s brilliant. Up to you to decide that. But I’m just happy you finally got your car bro. Well deserved and I sincerely mean that.

Just becareful of those door panels. They squeak like a bitch. I had my replaced twice already. Richmond VW hates my ass.

Also since you got the Rrrrrrr. You lose out on the new gti steering wheel which got rid of all the capacitive touch buttons.

I think it’s a good price, GR corolla is pushing $60k now.
$3k akrapovic is a fair price and it’ll be covered under factory warranty too.

I’d take the R over the GR ratrolla and that’s coming from a yota fanboy.
I just don’t like overstressed 3 cylinders. Too little cylinders. Too high boost. That sort of strain is unnecessary

Thanks, I don’t think I’ve never had a car that dosent make panel sounds. I’ve never actually had a car with heated seats so I think I’ll be pretty happy. I think they all standard with forged wheels. Black edition gets carbon, black lights, black wheels, sunroof, free cloth interior and you have the pleasure to be able to play 3k for arc

Integra fell through when they tacked on $14k+ of mandatory accessories. They wouldnt budge and I wasn't paying $89k for the car

When the Integra fell through, Dealershift got a white type R in and I messaged Roach right away to buy it. It was used with 5400km on it, less than a year old. Has been lowered, had some OEM+ parts on it and had PPF on it (things I would have done). It was over MSRP but with the mods it had, trade in value for the Golf R, it was the right move and I am more than happy with the sale. Much much better experience than dealing with a regular dealership as that whole experience gave me anxiety already.

I think this will be a forever car for me, something I plan to pass down onto the kids when they grow up. Always wanted a Civic Type R but would never of dreamed of being able to get one.

That's awesome, bro. Such a beautiful car. That was the exact car I wanted for my daily, but they laughed me out the door when I said I wanted to buy it last year. They said there was like a 5-year waiting list, and I should shut my fat face. The same went for the Integra Type S..... so I got a hitlerbox instead.

Loved your Golf R and your pics of it.

Time to update the list on your signature

Did you test drive one before you bought it? Or just bought it based on hype. Cuz obviously they gate keep these.

On the topic of forever car that gets passed down. What do you think the future will be like for ICE cars? Someone saw my garage queen and threw me an offer worth considering, but I don't know if I want to give it up right now with the thought of passing it down....... But if the future for ICE will just be paperweights because we can't obtain parts and gas for it..... Then maybe I should start thinking about other things to pass down instead.

Do used cars really get refused test drives?

Ice will 100% be around in our lifetime. We're nowhere ready for EV adoption from a infrastructure and economic point for view.

hood struts, OK. plastic engine covers, i guess if something has to go fine.

I don't remember what car you have, but ICE cars will be around. I am in the same camp as facetroll, we are nowhere near being able to go EV only.

There will 100% be ICE cars for the rest of our lifetimes as everyday appliances. My kids I'm less certain. Barring some really leftie countries where they will ban ICE in urban centers (mainly Europe) I bet you'll still be seeing a 2015 Corolla driving around in 2050 or 2060.

When I bought my FK8, yes. I had to force their hand as in, if you don't let me test drive, there's no deal on the table.

I'm assuming Matsuda knows Roach (Dealershift), so that likely would've been taken care of.
