Might have to part with R32
« on: 24 December 2007, 14:18 »
Any advice please?

I am going to buy a new flat and need the money to pay the new hefty mortgage!! Ahhhhhhhh!

Does anyone have any good advice on what the next car should be? Something cheap and cheap to run? I am thinking either Lupo GTI, Mk4 GTI or Mk4 V6 4 Motion or Mk5 1.4 S or something similar?

Also anyone have any ideas what it's worth? Spec is on the signature panel.

My final thoughts on R32 are "What a Car"!!!  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Its a sad day when you realise you have to part with a living breathing machine for a few bricks n mortar!! but hey what the hell, the reality of the situation is that a property will appreciate where as most cars unfortunately depreciate. So good luck in your new flat... try not to worry too much, when your back in the game for a new R it could well be the R36 :wink:

I'd  "invest" in a Lupo GTI. Prices are fairly static for them at the moment and (as I've said before) are virtually a half size R32.  :cool:
