Anybody have a unicorn E83?

Yea, that's ok, I have dedicated sporty cars for that kind of driving.
Just need a basic winter car that can carry stuff, and is not breaking down constantly.

*long overdue OP update* Recently I stumbled across THE unicorn I've been on/off hunting for since I posted this thread back in 2015... A one owner, 116k miles, titanium/black 2010 manual E83 w/ the M sport pkg! It was a trade in at a VW dealer in the midwest on a new Golf R and exceptionally well maintained in/out. 19" staggered wheels, Xenons, front and rear heated seats and get this...No Sunroof!... I immed called the dealer and after verifying it was as listed, told the salesman to consider it sold.
A few weeks later, it arrived via shipper and after nearly a decade, my white whale was in my garage next to its same year same color non M sport twin whose VIN#s were only 24 apart... Only modification I've done was to add a ZHP knob which made driving it even more enjoyable. The OEM P-Zero's are dated at 2017 so i'm researching tire options for the unusual 19" sizes. The juice was def worth the squeeze and anybody hunting also, keep the faith cause they are out there... Below are some iphone pics- I think it cleans up pretty well for 13 yrs old...

I have this car, sans the rear PDC. But I have the panoramic sunroom. Not a fan as the slider is broken. I need to fix it.
