R36 PASSAT?????????
« on: 02 January 2009, 17:21 »
Hi guys,

Sorry guys i know it aint no MK5 BUT JESUSSSSSSSSS....The price of these babies are dropping like a stone.. :shocked: :shocked:

2008 4500 miles   NICE SPEC £21995 on VW website!!!!!!!

Go in with cash in another couple of months and i reckon under 20K no problems..

Nice machine i reckon, let them take a little bit more of a hiton the deprication and you can get a hell of a car.  :wink:

Do you think......


I could go in there, spend 2hours haggling for a good price. Strike a deal with my car as part-ex, subject to a couple of days test drive.

THEN...

Take it home rip out the 3.6, swap it with the 3.2, and take it back and hope they dont notice   :rolleyes:  :evil: :evil: :evil:

Wonder if they sound as good as a R32? Wont hold there value as well but i bet they are nice in the flesh.

One serious lot of motor for the money that is, not good if you own one though.

A lot of car for the money...

...but

having come from a Passat W8 4-motion to the Golf GTi (and now R32), IMHO the Passat is just no fun to drive  :undecided:

Feels and handles much heavier, and can't be "chucked around" like a Golf

No one wanted to buy the Passat W8 either when I came to sell  :embarassed: not even my local VW garage as a part ex !  I got a lot less in the end than a same year Golf Gti or R32.
