My CTR arrived at my dealer in Tennessee Friday evening. They are leaving at 1am Sunday morning to deliver it to me 13.5 hours away, so I’m pretty pumped!

I bypassed the sales team when searching for mine and had a much better experience. I worked with the head of finance and he has been on top of everything. They didn’t PDI the car and left the shipping blocks in for re-transport as requested.

Also, they didn’t drive it to put gas in it and locked her up in the body shop - they are closed on weekends so she’ll be safe.

I’m definitely heavily OCD but I already own the car and know the crazy things that can go down at a dealer. All it takes is one person lol…

The shifter in this car is on another level. Brings me back to my S2000 days! I was honestly quite shocked in the step-up in overall feel and interior quality when compared to the FK8. Makes sense why the MSRP increased quite a bit.

You can definitely tell that the Golf R is going to be quicker off the line (6 speed. DSG is even quicker). The Golf has a more linear power delivery compared to the Type R. I haven’t really punched it too much on the FL5, but I have owned two FK8s in the past so I’m familiar with the engine dynamics. The Type R is just more fun to drive period. I couldn’t care less about 0-60 times. The steering and shifting absolutely destroys VW. The Golf R is built for comfort and performance (does both very well) and would be the more comfortable daily driver. But at the end of the day, the Type R feels incredibly special. No heated seats or sunroof, but honestly who gives a crap when a car feels this amazing? (The ambient lighting in the Golf is quite sick though ?)

This is just insane, I don't even believe it that a dealership is going that out of the way for you. Did you pay 25adm or something??

Lol I’m sure your car will be fine. When I first got mine and it was getting detailed I had a nightmare that they kids in here shop took it for a joyride and totaled it.

Nope, haha. 99% of the dealers are complete trash through. I had to weed through a lot of garbage to find one good dealer.

I’m not proud of it but I paid $5,555 over MSRP + $699 dealer fee with the delivery included and no add ons. Not horrible since there were no local options and shipping would have run $1,300-$1,900 for a reputable carrier.

Most importantly, I got the exact spec I wanted and trusted the dealer.

The way I looked at it was if I found a car out of state for $3,000 over and they had a $1,000 dealer fee. I’m at $4,000 + transport and I’m nearly at the same number.

I don’t think most people realize how much a dealer fee, transport, trade in and financing can alter a deal.
