I didnt realize they were doing that, discounting so much, can someone name a dealer thats dropping them for that much off? I really wanted one but realized it has a lot of what my GTi already has including the same transmission which is a big one for me, the transmission we have right now is a weak link for the GTi's, less from a parts perspective but from more of a feel. The blue needles and all the fluff aren't that big of a draw for me but it does look nicer and the AWD is huge.
Going from a TDI to an R is a big change, but going from a GTi to an R, there has to be some middle point and 5k off sticker isnt bad whatsoever, you just have to negotiate a sick number for the trade to make up a bit there.
