RIP R32

[dubcruiser]

You do have to be careful as alot of them try to stitch you... but as this is the second car I have had from VW the inspector was ok. He did note the thickness of the paint where I had the repair done (but was VW repaired) so that was ok. Also had 2 of the wheels re-done and a dent taken out. Apart from that the car was mint anyway

Out of interest and apologies if you have posted this somewhere before, but how much could you of had the car for from the lease company?
I am looking at getting a Mk5 R32 next year and as prices have risen for them just wondered if the lease companies had followed suit...

Yours on a forecourt I would expect to be in the £18k - £20k bracket roughly with 30k ish miles....

Think they quoted me just under 18k but this was back in july. Had prices continued the way they had towards the end of last year, I was expecting to pick it up for £12.5k

I would normally have bought it from them and sold it on, however this time the prices just seem a little tempramental to take a gamble on. Great car, and I would have one again at the drop of a hat!

Pretty much bang on with the money then... I think you probably could of had it for around the £14k mark if the prices had kept going like they were. End of last year my local dealer was selling two brand new R32's for £22k and they were specced with leather and met paint so not standard spec. I think one of them was DSG... I bet who ever bought those cars is laughing now as they were depriciation free at that money!

I will get one next year. Am hoping to get a 07 car with DSG and leather for about £15k with 40k miles on it. Once the R20T or whatever they call it comes out, the prices should slide a bit again.

It's good to know they are good cars and that you enjoyed yours. Good luck with the Mk6

I will change my sig when you change you name to "Hairy C0ck" as you should be called.

p.s. I was the registered keeper and paid for it thx

[Hairy Porter]

A common misunderstanding.
The registered keeper may or may not be the owner.  They are two different things.

The mods don't allow name changes.

Egbert, sorry, Hairy have you ever thought of getting your schizophrenia checked out?

Your bizarre behaviour and social disfunction appears to be worsening. 

R32UK - sorry for your loss mate!!
