New 2008 R32?

[micalee]

I bought mine last September. I bought it tax free but the UK price was £33k. It has just about everything on it and I am due to sell up later this year. I have been considering an A4 or A5 but the A5 is a bit pricey for the nice one, the A4 is getting a new model soon and not sure on it yet and the RS4 is also bit pricey! Will probably go for another R32, same spec as this one

Im not sure on the US Spec, in UK, they started at 24k and went up to about 33k. Seats, satnav, ipod, dsg, sunroof and many others were all options. Cracking car whatever the spec, DSG is brilliant, smooth as you like in traffic and the paddles are brilliant when you fancy a burn.

$33k, that makes more sense. Current exchange rate between US/UK should mean that works out at about ....... 17k sterling.  Bargin!

For that money, add a grand and get a Boxster , keep it two years and sell it before the warranty runs out

I just read that the reason the 2008 still only had the 3.2 liter was because the dsg system couldnt handle anymore power then that so does this mean that i wont be able to make this car any faster with after market mods?

I believe it is quite hard to "overclock" the V6 engine to any meaningful degree, unless you spring for a turbo. Something like HGP: http://www.hgp-turbo.de/vw/r32.html
It is not cheap, but the results are stunning, of course.
