I need a therapist V: 212's 2019 Golf R Build Thread

[212]

So I got into a black 2019 GTI about a week ago. Then today......

GTI had just over 200 miles on it. I got a pretty good deal on it, so I only lost my shirt on the trade.
The R is a 2019 w/ DSG.

Seems like a reasonable decision to me. Good shit.

I’m just curious, how does one get the idea to look at trading-in/purchasing a vehicle within the first 6 months of ownership. It is literally the LAST thing to enter my mind. I’m no longer looking after I made the commitment.

There’s no sane explanation for that question.... hence the title of the topic. I have a sickness.

Seems reasonable to me. Congrats!

Been there and done it a couple of times.

I did the exact same thing with my brand new 2016 GTI. I traded it in with like 3000 miles less than 6 months later and got the R and paid it off shortly after.

White is the way to go. So wish I had. Or blue.

They got 5 into the dealership yesterday. 1 Gray, 1 Black and 3 White. All had black wheels except this one. I was interested in the Gray, but it had a buyer before it came off the truck. There are only 2 left out of the 5 that arrived yesterday.

What is your reasoning though? Did you make a payment purchase you weren’t happy with?

 

[Flyn]

Sounds like a fun decision.

Loved the GTI. .. Saw there was an R for sale and the price was killer, went to drive it figuring it wouldn't wow me enough to make the jump, it did and did the deal. They had it listed at a killer price that was too good to pass up.

Basically at the time I bought the GTI, there was no reasonably priced R in the state... And then a few months later one appeared and everything worked out in my favor.

 

[Shawn1112]

Pretty much same as Mook said. I get rid of cars often though, usually every 12-18 months. But have done a couple where I only had for 2-3 months.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

do you still have the ZL1 ?

 

[212]

do you still have the ZL1 ?

No, I kept it for about a year.

That’s funny you did similar to Mook with opposite colors. I really like this platform and may get an R next depending on how the MK8’s grow on me. I’ve had my MK7 GTI 4 years and 38,000 miles and it’s been great. Besides keeping a gallon of distilled water in the back because I have the typical slow leaking thermostat/water pump I’ve had no issues. Starting to get a bit of a truck itch for Home Depot hauling, but hope the wife getting an SUV fixes that.

Congrats on the upgrade. I'd love an R, such fun cars.

tint the windows, they go up in value, you're good.

Thx... I’m sure we can arrange something once all the craziness has passed. It does sound like fun.

Window tinting is the first thing I plan to get done. It would be great if the value goes up. I would be happy with normal reliability. Of course, until I start getting crazy with mods. Then it’s all on me.

Thanks. I’ve been watching @%1; I would be lying if I said his thread didn’t have just little bit to do with the switch. He’s getting great results.

Chicago Auto Pros did a great job with those tiny 1/4 windows in the front on mine.
