Ended up buying one from a gent on gumtree.
VW wanted nearly $900!

Hey all,

Id appreciate your thoughts. Im in the market for a Golf R Wagon.
Ive narrowed it down to:

2020 which has done 28000 km but has a APR stage 2 tune, a custom exhaust system (brakes need to be done soon), full service history, second owner
OR
2018 which has done 41000 km stock, clean title, full VW service history, original owner, 4 new tyres, brakes just done, 12 months reg

There is a 11k price difference between the cars. I was always going to do at least a stage 1.

Im moving across to VW from Audi so would appreciate thoughts. Is there much difference between the MY18 and MY20? they are both the 7.5 if im not mistaken. I had read somewhere the water pump might be slightly better in the 2020, but i cant be sure of the source.

cheers all

After the Wolfsburg Edition ended, was it possible to option the Dynaudio and the sunroof separately? From reviewing listings of used Mk7.5 R wagons (and hatches) it seems any examples with the Dynaudio also have the sunroof.

Was the wagon considered to be noiser and less rigid in the rear tailgate compared to the hatch?

I have a R hatch and am considering updating to a wagon but am concerned about noise/rattles/leaks from a sunroof (which I'd rather go without) and tailgate creaks.
