Yahoo Autos VW Golf R 333 sells out in 8 minutes — despite its $81,000 price
Can an automobile be considered a “future classic” before it reaches a dealer’s showroom floor?
If it’s a “limited-run special edition” Volkswagen Golf R 333 — and the dealer’s in Germany — then absolutely.
Never mind that this particular Golf is by far the most expensive configuration of that model, priced at $81,582 in U.S. dollars; the entire allotment of 333 cars, bound exclusively for Germany, sold out in eight minutes.
Of course, “sell out” in car dealer-speak is only an optimistic notion until cold cash (or the equivalent) changes hands. And let's not dismiss the temptation of dealer markups. The car is due to go on sale in October. Don’t expect to see one (legally, at least) in the States.
