2019 Volkswagen Golf R 4Motion

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,999
SOLD

While the Volkswagen Golf may seem relatively mainstream in the United States, it’s a big deal in Europe. That’s because when it debuted for the 1974 model year, it was seen as a modern, value-packed, front-wheel drive family car that was economical and more importantly, fun to drive. Then, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTi in 1976 and created what we now know as the hot hatchback. The Golf remains on sale to this day, and there’s a variant that’s even hotter than the GTi in the Golf hierarchy. That variant is called the Golf R, which debuted with 2012’s seventh generation. Today, we’ve got an example of a seventh generation Golf R for sale. Say hello to this 2019 Volkswagen Golf R with less than 52,000 miles from Hialeah, Florida. It’s the perfect hot hatchback slash family car for someone who’s a petrolhead but needs a suitably comfortable, practical and well-built vehicle that’s also compact, and most importantly, not an SUV!

Present today is the latter, and a great example of it as well.

2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$99,500

BMW’s 3-Series is a fine compact luxury car, embodying BMW’s spirit of creating the Ultimate Driving Machine. The default choice for many petrolheads for decades, BMW had the bright idea of pushing the envelope and creating a halo variant in the mid 1980s. Their efforts came to fruition with the E30 M3 that ran between 1986 and 1991. With its fizzy four-cylinder engine and myriad performance enhancements, the letter-and-number pairing of M3 quickly gained a reputation. Ever since then, every 3-Series has been accompanied by an M3. Engines grew from four to six to eight cylinders, and then went back to six, albeit with turbocharging. This particular 2023 BMW M3 Competition from Sunset, Texas is from the current G80 series and has just 5,000 miles on the clock. Plus it’s got the Competition Package for an even more hardcore driving experience, while retaining the family-friendliness that the 3-Series is known for.
