I don’t visit CL as much as I should and I’m not a follower on Golf R desirability and prices, but to me this listing seems a bit overpriced. The car comes with 18K miles on the clock and a rebuilt title. KBB puts a “good”, stock Golf R at ~$27K.

2013 Golf R has many upgrades
-Rebuilt title
United Motorsport stage 1
Custom Mlagnaflow exhaust
Cold air intake
H&R super sport lowering springs
Forge DV
APC boost gauge
Powder coated wheels
Tinted windows
Car pushes 380hp and 380tq Very quick
Looking to trade for 2011 or newer s4 or AWD that is Quick along those lines.
30,000

Has the tune and some pretty standard mods made this seller delusional with his $30k asking price for a Golf R with a rebuilt title?

HAHA rebuilt title. Considering you can get a bone-stock Golf R from Carmax for $30k right now I’d say this is not a good deal.

ETA: How much crack do you have to smoke to even ask for a similar-year S4 in trade? How could anyone think it’s reasonable to trade a $30k VW for a $40k Audi? Is he mad?

Bebuild...really?

I’d color him delusional and call it a day.

Lol @ rebuild title. That car is worthless, it’s maybe worth $10k. Also, modifications usually bring down a car’s value.

Even if it was an even trade, why does he want to get out of one car to get into a very similar one? That’s a red flag to me.

Hopefully “rebuilt title” just means the title got torn and he Scotch taped it back together.

Tyrone Biggums was overheard saying, “No thanks, that is too much crack.”

I stopped at rebuilt. This is a textbook example of CP pricing.

When a brand new car like that gets totalled and rebuilt im immediately skeptical. You know it had to be serious since the car was still worth a lot of money but they wrote it off anyway

Rebuilt? WTF? Does the car track correctly? Can it hold an alignment? What sort of accident was it in - are there photos? Keep walking - find a better, stock R.

Gold Rs push that much with just an intake, catback and a flash? That doesn’t seem right. United Motorsport’s own website has 266hp/272ftlbs for a stage 1 flash.... This guy is either trying to scam someone or is just clueless. This gives me a CP feeling.

Notwithstanding the rebuilt title which at this price IMMEDIATELY puts it in CP territory, there are Rs with similar miles from VW dealerships advertised for $28g. $2g will easily get you an intake, exhaust and flash... with plenty of gas money left over.

Run away!

LOL good try... but you can get APR Stage 3 with big turbo R’s for around that price (or less!)

Such as this one

Another funny ad— he’s taken it to stage 3, but says it’s never even been launched..... hmmmmmmmm

Two door —> crack pipe. These always confuse me: massive speed added, never used. Then why?

Crack pipe at $20k with that title.

Run. Away.
