$110 over invoice…
I guess you could do worse but anything between your offer and free is better.

A friend of mine used to like to say, “all the flowers need watering, even the ugly ones”. eGolf has less HP (more torque) than Golf S and is in the bottom third for EV range but thar be trunk money so off they go. 
There are over a hundred in stock in socal. Like I said they are sitting on lots.
Edit: I was totally fine paying MSRP for an Irish green ordered car but several dealers said not possible anymore.
your better off buying the car for 72 months. About $600 mo but after 3 years you will woe perhaps $25k on it and it should be worth $30k
Are you talking about the Golf R or just any regular Golf?

There are about 700 VW dealers in the US, there are 1919 Golf Rs on CarGurus (not every one but close) - average 2.74 per VW point. There is almost 3 months left in the calendar year and they still won’t have trunk money come Feb because they have that sweet sweet warranty (so buyers can enjoy free KCups of swill while it’s up on a lift as Dieter and Hanz scratch their noggins).
Here is a hateful neon green one in Carlsbad for msrp https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/new/searchresults.action?zip=92126&sourceContext=homePageNewCarTabMobile_false_0&distance=200&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d2131#listing=248385865
but I think what you want is this monstrosity?
You missed the ordering window (personally I’m 1 for 3 on custom orders in this life) so wrap a black one or get something close. 
Plenty of white/black/grey ones.

There were over 100 Golf R in socal when I was shopping a few months ago and still looks like roughly the same numbers. Seems like a similar trajectory to the m2 and rs3. Demand was crazy but now really petered out. I’d guess resale will still be relatively strong but nothing like it has been. Just my 2c.
In further news, early adopters often pay a premium.
More at 11.

Well when people here are saying that the high resale makes purchasing vs lease a no brainer when it’s slipping…

This doesn’t mean much. Dealers sell cars and get new inventory all the time. Do you really think none sold at all in several months?

My friend wanted to buy a golf r but all the socal dealers acted like it was a Bugatti and wouldn’t even let him test drive it even though he was easily and obviously financially qualified for the purchase. They said they don’t let anybody drive them until they buy it. Also they wanted like 5k over msrp. Even now most dealers are still trying to charge a markup or full mrsp
Yes I understand that cars get sold…again I’m just speaking from my experience. The same RS3s that I was laughed at asking for 5% off are still on the lots being advertised at 10% off now. Not sure why everyone is adamant that these are depreciation proof when that is no longer the case.
Edit: I don’t have anything else to add to this thread, take my opinion with a large rock of salt I guess.
TURN. AND. EARN.

And why isn’t it parked in your driveway? 
The hearty laugh I would have if I got declined to test drive one of these after pulling up in the X3 M40i.
I could probably start a YouTube channel on that premise.
Because new shiny thing isn’t so new and so shiny anymore.

I know your pain. We were actually up to 5 for a week.
