This dealership has moved 8 total Golf Rs (2015+2016) this year and they are no hassle, no fuss and exceptionally easy to work with. Deal was completed over email. Test drive performed the day I picked up the R. I had Mods shipped to the dealership that were installed before I picked it up. Getting the car for invoice was remarkable considering the demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cms_table\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\">\n<table class=\"cms_table\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
