do you have any video of this???

I had a 2013 previously, 4dr manual base, which I totaled by hitting a deer with only 25k on it.

CC wheels - Mallory. 18x8. Offset isn’t quite right so I can’t go lower (despite having almost 2/3” left on the coils), but I like the look for now. I may change it up next year, not sure yet.

Asking for invoice should never be an issue; I like showing it, as VW has almost no markup on their cars to begin with.

^this. Being a fucking asshole will get you nowhere - I don’t know what you do for work, but if it’s any business that you serve a client, how would them treating you as described above make you feel?

Got it. I think part of that too is that most dealers (at least in my admittedly limited personal experience) aren’t huge fans of buying services.
I look forward to the followup post! Your columns always spark some lively and interesting debate.

We’re required to run at least an OFAC check on every buyer - easiest way is to just pull credit to make sure you are who you say you are.

Tom, I’ll have to disagree with you there - if you’re planning to pay cash/bring your own financing, it makes it much easier if I know I don’t need to go over prices for financing through the manufacturer, leasing, etc. Cash deals don’t make me much money, but they’re straightforward and quick, and I want the process…

pshhh. I carry passengers too often for a 2dr in the daily. Besides, I’ve got a 2dr for fun times, should be fixed this weekend! (bumpers will be going back on, never fear)

Nice! What hardware/tune are you planning on? A friend of mine is running a 2012 Golf R Unitronic 2+ on air, it’s a blast to drive.

Haha, yep! I have a 15 SE 4dr manual, wife has a 15 Autobahn DSG, although when her lease is up we’ll probably go for the Alltrack. Mine I’ll keep until I find my 964.

Unitronic stage 2, full bolt-ons. Big turbo hasn’t released yet, and it’s like 2500$ plus labor, so that may be a while.

haha, it’s a sticker that says get more low in German. Stuck it on for fun, I’ll probably take it off when I debadge the car and do winter prep in a month or so.

Good choices, mine’s a 4dr SE as well! Love it.

I love my 2015 GTI (third GTI, fifth VW overall).

DPF delete + Malone tune! Problem solved.

hey now, the mk2 Golf is still cool.

Well that’s just bad luck then. That’s a pain in the ass.

ahahaha the flange. There are people that make metal ones now that don’t suck, fyi.

My family lives in Hernando County (they are not like that, haha). Lived there for a summer my sophomore year of school, can confirm that 99% of the population matches that description.
