£16k now - yes good price but Glass's Guide will still murder the residuals in the current climate. Don't even think you will get any sensible deal part-ex. Best avoided I'm afraid :undecided:

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

Hi Illyun.

Try these guys.... they've got more R32's than you can shake a stick at and the Sales Manager at the Leicester dealership is a real nice guy to deal with - Steve Sibcy.

Thanks for that Tony.. I'm actually looking for a second hand R32 - a 55 or 06 plate as I am also keeping my Edition 30.  The idea is to keep the Edition 30 on a low mileage (its 22k miles now after only 15 months  :sick:) pamper it and look after it - remap, new BBS CH black alloys, Milltek exhaust, CF etc....  The R32 will be the workhorse for a year. Did you ever get your hands on an Edition 30 or are you waiting for prices to fall - I reckon they will be pretty depressed next year with the Mk6 coming out and this recession on the way.

I like your style Illyun, that'll be two nice Golf's MkV's to have in the garage.   :wink:

No, didn't buy an Ed30 in the end, although at the start of this year I did come pretty close and I had a deposit down on a brand new Candy White one with Xenon's and DSG.... unfortunately when it arrived at the delaers it had paintwork damage on the bonnet and whilst they offered to fix it I really didn't want to spend £24k on a car which had a re-sprayed bonnet.  After much deliberaton I rejected it and the dealer refunded my deposit which was good of them.

I'd like to get a second hand one now and have been looking around PH.com and Autotrader.... there seem to be plenty around so it's just a matter of picking one with a good spec and good price.

What happened to the one's you won on Fleabay with the red lip?

BTW, I'd have a MK4 over a MK5 all day long!  :wink:

Good to see that there will be a few more R32's out there over the next year or so. Might just be my neck of the woods but I very rarely see others about.

btw you can expect to see 27mpg once warm around city. 31mpg if you drive conservatively on motorways. And as low as 16 if you thrashing the pants off it :evil:
