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!

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,999

Cars like this fifth-generation Millenium Yellow 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 are often coveted because they are the last time that a Corvette came with those alluring pop-up headlamps.

If you’re a sucker for pop-ups and have always wanted to own a C5, this 23,122-mile example from Alcolu, South Carolina is particularly interesting. You see, it’s the potent, 405-horsepower Z06 variant, pairing a deliciously tuned naturally aspirated V8 with a 6-speed manual box. This car also has aftermarket wheels, the 1SA Preferred Equipment Group, the Memory Package for three drivers, and even its bright paint job is an extra-cost option. Why not make this car yours, then?
