New R32 for 16k anyone?

[R32UK]

That is silly money!! but the fact is that the credit crunch is really kicking in and recently high petrol prices have scared everyone away from thirsty cars.

With the release of the MK6 just round the corner they have to get rid! Soooooo glad I didnt buy mine. Like another poster said on R32oc.. looks like VW will be getting stuffed when I hand mine back next year also

well you just got to play the market if you can.19.5k for my brand new r32.got 15k for ed30 (18 months old) so their for  if i got 7k for it in 3 years it is only 12.5 k loss in 3 years.I lost 8.5k on my last one in 15 months.It all near enough works out the same in the end. Even if i personaly only get 4k for it in 3 years i'll save 30-50k on the house i will eventually buy. So if you can get down your dealers and grab your self a bargin. happy daze

It also shows how much ££££ vw make out of us as well. In America 18 months ago they were $36,000 brand new at a time when it was around $2 to the pound and they came with dsg and leather as standard

i know that all remaining R32 group stock cars have been offered to dealers less 20% to get shot of them, thats alot of car for the money. Good if you want one likes been said, but a real  if you already own one and thinking of trading.

It's a real killer for the current owners but then again many cars are taking a hit now.  I just sold my fully loaded 57 plate 13k mile Octavia vRS for £11k which was a lot more than some dealers were offering for it.

This is even more desperate -

I think if many of you went to trade your GTi's now you'd be horrified at the numbers mentioned.

I went along to my local VW Dealers this afternoon and they only had one and it had been sold..... Spec was brand new R32, 5 door, DBP, DSG, sold for £22k this morning.  It was a £27k car!

wonder what they would give me for a trade...

I'd love one of these too, however reckon that they would give me a pathetic trade in on my lovely 55 plate fully loaded work of art.  So the cost to change is still going to be ridiculous.....still Id love an R32, watched an old top gear today where it was up against the 1 series and whappped its ass round the track and in every other department...and oh...that sound

I've been waiting for R32 prices to fall further... looks like I'm going to bag me a bargain 

[No Golf Clubs at all]

I think the prices will come down further, i would expect all sorts of dealer incentive to come up soon, such as zero percent interest etc..mk6 round the corner and the credit crunch biting hard up towards christmas. I would love to take advantage of this but unless I could move mine for without taking a ridiculous hit wont be able to.
