Used 2013 Volkswagen Golf R for sale near me

I recently had the pleasure of trading in and purchasing my 2nd vehicle in 3 years from George Gregory at Sawyer Lyons GMC. Every time I visit this dealership (for service or sales), I feel welcomed and valued. George, who has always been both friendly and professional, always takes the time to say hello and that leaves a lasting impression on customers During the sales process, he has never pressured me into making a decision but instead encouraged me to take my time and ask questions. What really stood out, though, was his commitment to ensuring I got the best deal possible. He worked with the finance team to offer competitive pricing and tailored options that fit my budget. Throughout the negotiation, he was transparent, honest, and made sure I was comfortable with every step. Because of my experience with George, I feel confident in my purchase, not just because of the great car I was driving off with, but because of the exceptional service I received. It's rare to find a car salesman who genuinely prioritizes customer satisfaction over making a sale, but this one certainly did. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, I highly recommend working with him—his professionalism and customer-first attitude made all the difference.

My 2013 6-speed VW R is simply a blast to drive! Before I bought my brand new black 4-door VW Golf R, I drove a much larger car, the 2004 VW V8 Touareg and I loved it. But after 10 years and with my kids grown and driving their own cars, I was initially interested in downsizing and intrigued by the amazing mileage advertised for the Golf Diesel -(this was long before VW was burned by the Diesel scam). At the time my VW dealer replied to my questions about leather seats saying "sorry no leather". Then he said, wait, have you heard of the Golf R? No, I’d never heard of the car but it had the leather seats and I test drove both of the two 6-speed models my dealer had on the lot. I bought the 4 door version and have never regretted it. My Golf R makes city and highway driving a pleasure. Something like a small land rocket or driving a really fast but very safe go-cart, especially so on the highway. And while I'm not interested in always jumping to the head of the traffic mosh, when I need it, by simply downshifting to 5th gear and from there powering up to 6th, I'm able to quickly scoot by the traffic and be on my way. I love the fantastic handling of the 4 wheel always-on drive that’s stock on the R. The rock-solid stability of my R is just outstanding. Invariably, my passengers are at first scared and then quickly amazed at the R's ability to tightly hug the road - even the steepest curves - while I'm accelerating into a highway on ramp, or smoothly passing other cars in the midst of heavy rain or in a snow storm! The auto-adjusted headlights with their auto washer squirt never fail to impress as with the many other safety features that came stock with the R's amazing build from the VW factory in Wiesbaden Germany. This is a very special little hatchback. Something like only 4000 were built for worldwide sales in 2013. To be perfectly honest, I knew very little of this when I bought the car. Since driving it I have come to learn and appreciate the brilliant pedigree of VW’s passion, heritage, and craftsmanship that are what makes my 2013 VW R the amazing little land rocket I so love!

The service received on 6/16 for caring for my car was great. Although, the battery check for recall possibly could have taken place on 6/13 while car was being serviced. The crew was exceptionally caring in making sure all was well and delivering my car to me was an extra bonus instead of an Lyft ride for me to pick up.

Stop looking at 0-60 times and drive the car. I've had many quicker cars on paper, none of them combined the solid feel, driving position and performance that gives the driver confidence to drive a car fast in everyday conditions. The all wheel drive system makes the R worth the extra $ over the GTI. The manual gear box is a pleasure. You can always drive an automatic when you get old.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience purchasing my BMW from this dealership, even though I'm out of state. Samique made the process seamless—communicative, professional, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. Jenn, the finance representative, was just as fantastic, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I truly appreciate the top-notch service and will absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a hassle-free, premium car-buying experience.

Bought my 2013 Golf R when my BMW M5 self-destructed. The M5 was an amazing car, so the poor Golf had big shoes to fill! No, it didn't match the performance of a 507 hp V-10, but the AWD Golf R is an amazing car for the money. Excellent performance and handling, and the hatchback gives it good utility too. (My bike fits fine in the back!) Very reliable car - no major issues at all. The only issue with it is that only the car guys know what it is! (Everyone else thinks it's just a regular Golf.)

Bought my car through Jared was super helpful and patient let me shop around feel it out highly recommend buying from here if you are like me buying your first legit car customer service was great and worked with me very fair in working with the customer 5 stars

Car cruises like a car with stiffer sports suspension, and when you drop a gear(mine is manual) you feel the pull, and the stock exhaust sound pretty decent but is in no way loud lol. The fuel efficiency is good but if I'm being honest, can be hard not to achieve at times. But I've owed a v6 firebird and a 74 small block Camaro, and I like the golf r more than the big v8.

Great service experience, all work performed was done accurately. Communication was top notch from Alex Harter. I had no surprises. The dealer exceeded my expectations.

I love my preowned Golf R, it is comfortable and stylish while still having plenty of power for spirited driving in backroads. I drove in one bad snow storm of about 4-5” of snow and it was like the roads were dry. I have equipped my VW with one of the best winter weather tires available which definitely helped. But the VW all-wheel drive system is very good. The interior is very easy to navigate and adjust temperature/ volume of the radio etc. Overall I already have plans to purchase the next generation when the time comes.

Cj and Alberto really helped me get the car I wanted. I highly recommend going to them if you want to get a great vehicle at a great price

I called and talked with Steve. Ten days later I went and checked out the car in question. It looks like I will be "pulling the trigger" and buy. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind. A true pleasure to deal with him. A "gentleman and a scholar"! I'll be back.

Shout out to Dontae Williams, he's the best, made it a great experience. Will refer family and friends to him

Very helpful and polite! The environment is very relaxed and both my husband and I didn't feel like there was any pressure. They made the process quick and easy without complications.

West State motorsport is the spot to get a nice sports car for sure! Patient Staff and won't rush you at all in terms of deciding what vehicle to get!
