- 2016 Mark 7 Golf R
In short, my employer has flipped to WFH permanently and I've put a deposit on something new. These factors combined make it hard for us to justify a 3rd car when the new one gets here. I had planned on waiting until spring, at least, but now that I'm WFH permanently there really isn't much reason for me to put additional miles on it. My goal for this car was to achieve a modest 400 to 430 HP at the ground and I spared no expense doing so. Nearly every part is either over engineered or well beyond the capability necessary to achieve my goal. I'll try to be as concise as possible here with the description. This "package" is robust and the care & attention to detail has been paramount so here we go.
Upon taking delivery of this CPO (17k miles and/or whichever comes first 18 months left on CPO currently) Golf R, I had the paint corrected followed by 2 coats of CQuartz UK 3.0. Shortly afterwards, it received a Krown undercarriage treatment. The paint and undercarriage look fantastic and I wanted to keep it that way. The entire car looks less than a year old including granular things like the door sills and weatherstripping. It has never been in an accident nor been exposed to snow. I'm the second owner and I have to assume the original owner kept it covered. This car has about as clean of a history as it gets. I'm attaching a Carfax that I ran prior to posting this. As you can see both the previous owner and myself have kept up with it.
The car is a blast to drive and with the modest (I'm kind of an OEM+ suspension person) upgrades to the driving dynamics, it handles fantastically. It sounds stock. No clunks, bangs, knocks at all. The catted down-pipe added a few decibels but I specifically kept the OEM resonator and muffler on (while powder coating the tips) to keep things somewhat under wraps and subtle. The car is a small devil in a tux : o ).
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I typically can respond very quickly.
