Shrug. Meh. Boring. Too many doors.

That's a huge "meh" nothing special about it, specially for a "weekend fun car". Plus, for that price and such minimal ad, I wouldn't be very optimistic..gotta be something ugly lurking under there

Agreed.

The way it is, he never takes his Golf R out on spirited drives, so it just goes to waste from commuting from Concord to Emeryville every day.

He also doesn't regularly check the oil on it, despite me telling him that he should be on a turbo DI engine. He just takes it to the dealership at the regularly scheduled service intervals. I can't talk any sense to him.

Sounds to me like he is actually looking for a commuter and should keep the Golf R as his fun weekend car? :shrug:
