Item Interest

I feel bad selling an otherwise great car, but 2x-a-day pickup and dropoff of my son + my wife not confident driving a stick led me to ordering a Golf R. It arrives next month, but I figure I'd put my 1-series it on the market now if someone is interested.

It's very much "enthusiast" optioned; also have the VIN # spec sheet if anyone wants to double check:

Black w/ red leather interior
51,XXXk miles
NO SUNROOF
6-speed manual

Optional Packages
- Convenience Package (Includes: Anti-Theft Alarm System And Comfort Access Keyless Entry And Park Distance Control (Rear Only) And Xenon Headlights)
- Sport Package (Includes: Sports driver seat and Front passenger seat: Power-adjusted side bolsters; Shadowline exterior trim; Increased top speed limiter; 7.0 alloy wheels 17, 7.5 alloy wheels 17; Wheels; Front summer 205 / 50 run-flat tires, rear summer 225 / 45 tires; Sport suspension)
- Value Package (Leather interior and iPod and USB Adapter w/ cable)

Maintenance
- All done @ the dealer until warranty is up. Since then:
- Regular Mobil 1 oil changes (most recent last week)
- Quality filters (WIX oil, cabin and air filters replaced this year)
- Rear brakes replaced last week w/ EBC Red pads, Centric rotors and new sensor.
- OEM Battery replacement done September 2014 so it's fresh.

Issues
- Just 1 key, lost the other in a move
- According to maintenance indicator, front brakes have 8k left on them. However, I'm including a set of EBC Red pads + rotors so you're set with parts.
- Front tires more than fine but rear tires should be replaced. Matching Sumitomo HTR-Z's are less than $200 from Tirerack.

General condition and notes:

- Car is and always has been 100% stock.
- Total of 3 track days at Thunderhill without issue (5s slower per lap than my previous S2K). Other than that, has always just been my daily driver and returning a consistent 24MPG on my mixed 30mi. commute to San Francisco.
- Always garaged at home and work
- Wheels look excellent, I only found one small instance of curb rash (see photo album).
- Paint and body are of course not 100% perfect, but condition is at minimum "very good" for the mileage. Very minor dings/surface scratches. I used to 100% hand wash, but since drought and neighbor shaming have taken it to a brushless car wash.
- Non-smoker, nothing more than bottled drinks in the car / no eating in it, etc. Interior is VERY clean. Minimal wear on driver's seat bolster (see photo album).
- Carpeted floor mats are 100% new; I used the OEM rubber mats the whole time.
- Even though it was purchased in CA it has the non-CA emissions engine. (Higher compression)

Happy to show it locally any-time or discuss offline with those outside of California. I've sold and shipped private party in the past so no issues working with your trucking company.

Price
$17,995 - I'd say for now is firm. I did a scan of Mannheim, current inventory on Autotrader, etc.

GLWS, im ready to throw in the towel as well with daycare pickups and dropoffs. Im looking at a tsi sportwagen though. I dont drive enough to warrant spending 40k for anything nicer. GLWS.

Those are super nice. If you want help rationalizing the $40k just consider how well the R's do in terms of resale. Decent chance TCO for the R is less than sportwagen.

Hi Rudy- Would love to chat with you about the car. I'm on the peninsula, so I'm local.

First post, so I can't PM yet. Send me your email?
