At 26,500 miles just had first tyre change on the R and if it was not for a nearside puncture there was still some miles in the fronts - The rears still have lots of tread left in them
The R goes to auction in October and nice addition for whoever picks it up of some new fronts Michelin Pilot Sport 4
Really surprised at how tyres have lasted my GTD only went 13,000 miles before had to put new fronts on them - whats the usual GTi change mileage?
Can you not sell it to a 3rd party rather than it go to auction? I know that's an option on my company lease. Seems a shame as it sounds like a nice spec car and well cared for.
To be honest not inquired so that may be possible, the new one turns up and the old one goes straight to auction, just how I like it - One of reason lease and not take the ££ and sort myself is for the complete ease of ownership which has worked out well on this car as it has required a new bumper and new rear door due to impacts which were in reality quite light but in these days of swap over repair thats the decision that was made. - For me to deal with it was one phone call and rest is done for me.
But it is well looked after and mechanically not given a days problem, runs better now than when first got it, lovely and free and responsive and economy has improved to as miles have been put on with no change in driving style. - If I was keeping I would get a professional detail, and have the Pretoria refurbed as do have some kerb rash and for about £600 it would look brand new pretty quick.
Was considering buying this one, but thought get myself a later R and maybe keep that one, but given the seeming rarity of the TCR if ownership goes well and not miss the AWD too much that might be my first keeper.
