Default WTT 2012 VW Golf R AWD for C5Z06

Long shot, but fingers crossed someone with a toy may want a more practical toy. I really want back in a vette.

Long story short, had a C5Z, loved it. had a brain fart and let it go. found a deal on this golf, its been fun and practical. I recently got a truck. so I dont need the back seat or cargo room. and im in the south, so I dont really need AWD either.

I have a 2012 Golf R. it is one of the best all around cars I have ever owned. its fast, it handles great, gets decent mileage, and can haul about anything (had 8 tires in it once). It has been modified in all the right areas IMHO. it has been made to perform well on street and on track. The car handles like its on rails, has gobs of traction on any surface, and the interior is audi quality.

The car currently has 26k miles, which will go up slightly as it is my daily driver. i got it with 5200 miles on the clock. ofcourse never smoked in.

I have tastefully modified it with the following

Power:
APR ECU stage 2 tune (362HP/370TQ)
Autotech HPFP internals
CTS cold air intake
42DD resonated turbo back exhaust with 200 cell cat and test pipe

Suspension:
Neuspeed sport springs (300/330 lb/in) (0.7/0.9" drop)
Koni yellow adjustable shocks
Neuspeed Front sway bar 25mm 2 pos
Stabila street rear sway bar 25mm 2 pos solid
ground control camber plates
Aluminum control arms with poly bushings

Drivetrain:
HPA gen4 competition Haldex AWD Controller
Clutch kit and Light Flywheel south bend stage 2 endurance
Tyrolsport dead set front Subframe collar kit
Delrin shifter bushings

Apperance:
Black VW emblems
20% Window Tint
DEPO Euro LED Tail Lights

a few videos from my sunday fundays to give you an idea of how it drives.

Delta SCCA autocross

Issues: It has a rebuilt title. I got it with 5200 miles on it wrecked and fixed it. there was no structural damage, only cosmetic, and the body work was professionally done. It suffered a sideswipe, so the driver door, rear quarter, rocker, headlight, fender, seat bag, and curtain bag have all been replaced. the whole car was sprayed and cleared. it is currently my daily driver and has been hassle free for over 20k miles now.

Roughly 7-8k in upgrades. add that a clean book value of ~ $26k and that brings it to ~ $33k+ equivalent car as is. With rebuilt title im asking $18,500.

Would love to trade for an C5Z06 of about equal value. Electron Blue would be a dream come true.

Car is Located in the great metropolis of Hurley, MS. You never heard of that place? well its 17 miles from the Mobile, AL airport.

Nice car! I unloaded my '13 R with half your miles for around $29k. That title really hurts.

Wish you luck, I miss it from time to time. Your best bet it to try selling it privately.
