We’re always fond of CarMax finds. One of the nation’s largest used car retailers, CarMax makes a name for itself for commodity volume and ease of use. More than likely, anything tailored that shows up in their inventory is going to be fairly priced yet somewhat unknown to the organization really geared for moving out massive amounts of inventory. It means a good score, a HotWheels treasure of sorts, for those aware of cars coming into their inventory.
In this case, it’s a 2019 Golf R Spektrum in Cliff Green. Listed as one owner, the car appears to be unmodified though does have some minor paint chip repair that could perhaps be sorted a bit more elegantly and with a better paint match.
Worth noting if you are interested. First, move quickly. We’ve already seen this car shared around amongst the Golf R Spektrum community who is very knowledgable and likely quick to move and snap this up. Don’t sleep on it.
Second, CarMax has a hold option which takes the car out of play for a period of time while you line up financing. If it’s not already on hold, this can keep someone from moving in and grabbing it faster than you.
Another great feature of CarMax is their willingness to ship the car. We did this with an Audi exclusive car, something we highlighted with our friend Mike Callaghan from FCP Euro in an episode of our podcast and who also did the same thing with another Audi exclusive car. For a very fair non-refundable fee, CarMax will ship the car to your closest CarMax dealership so that you can see it in person and test drive it before you buy it.
