Decided i want an R32 now :D

[TagnuT]

I've got an Ed30 with around 320bhp... when the roads are dry its awesome and its not too bad even when the roads are damp/wet although you do have to be careful.   I've just come back from Colchester VW this morning where I picked up a brand new R32 for £19,750 (for the wife   )  Its got 37 miles on the clock and the following options:

Xenons - they are standard but have to mention them as not everyone knows
Recaro Leather seats
Touch Screen Sat Nav - this system is WAY WAY better than the crock of shyte I have in my Ed30 (older Sat Nav system)
5-Door
Pearlescent Blue - I wouldn't consider the R32 in any other colour
Rear Parking Sensors
Cruise Control - installed by the dealer and paid for separately @ £150 all in
Manual - not an option, but just to let you know its not DSG

Nice buy

Ring Colchester VW on 01206 852022 and ask for Daryl - say Nadeem gave you his number.  They can source a car from anywhere in their group for less than other dealers as VW have given them a lot of R32s to sell.  They wanted £22,750 for my R32 (worth £29.5k list price) and accepted an offer of 'around £19k' that I made.  They are part of the Inchcape Group, have the most R32s available and do the deepest discounts.  My local dealer couldn't match them in any way as they are smaller.  

Cheers, just saved that to my phone. Ill look into that! 

Anyone point me to some mod sites?

as i said from the start all info and mods are on the http://www.r32oc.com/

[Jkctr]

Im already on there, they have alot of MK4 links and info though so was hoping for some personal responses from you

I've been really tempted to get an R32 too. Some of the prices in Northern Ireland are too low not to buy! The only problem is that I can't afford it unless I manage to sell my current mk5, which doesn't seem likely to be honest. The insurance bump would be pretty bad for me too since I'm only 20. Decisions decisions

As nice as R32s are it's a shame you can't find a Ed30 for the right money..  At the end of the day it all depends what you are after mate. If it's the whole package and the sound you want, then R32 will be bang on. If it's a jump up in performance over you CTR that you want, then it's not. As I would say your old CTR would of been slightly quicker..
I know what you mean about the crap weather and roads though mate and 4WD would be nice. But the ED30 defo makes up for it when it's dry..

Yeah im aware of the little power increase, but with the awd and v6 im sure it sound quicker and also be easier to make it go fast, which is what im after!
The CTR will be quicker when driven at 100% but the R32 will require much less effort and give back more rewards (i.e. noise)
