At the beginning of the year I put a deposit on a new Golf R. It took months but the dealer got one that matched my specs and he called me. Bad news: they wanted $10k over asking. I declined and told him I would rather buy a used M340i. I did just that. They have reached out to me to see if I want to buy an Arteon. lol. "Same engine" they said. It is almost 2 feet longer than the golf.
