Paid £8200 for mine 3 years ago with 56K on the clock

Like Kerrse I don't really care what its worth now as i'll run it into the ground and continue to spend money on it

i think they've now seen the biggest hit of depriciation and thus whatever you buy shouldn't lose you too much money but then i gues it depends how long you plan on keeping the car

lol just don't buy new cars like a bloke who i work with likes to do

2 years ago he buys a Jeep Cherokee, chops it in 4 months later and loses £5000 on it for an Audi A3 Sline sportback which he has now traded in for an A4 S-Line

He paid £22,000 for the A3 and traded it in for £12,000.  The new A4 has cost him £25,000..........

Stupid doesn't come close to describing it really......

Would you say that mk4's have done there big hit of the depriation with the realese of the mk6, and the mk6 gti coming out soon? The prices are coming down, being able to get a 1.8t for 4k but the R32 is staying 10k+ even thought people are getting poorer?

Thoughts?


Mk4 R32's are going for around £8k, these days!! :o 8)

Have you also considered a Mk1 S3?  210/225 bhp standard, 4WD & easily re-mapped to ~265 bhp for around £265. 8)
