Evening all... Possibly getting my hands on a mk5 r32. Just wondering what it’s roughly worth? A friend of a friend has it and he’s apparently moving abroad and is gonna let it go cheap, don’t no how cheap yet but would like some opinions on its value as I’d only be buying it to sell on.
2008 VW Golf R32 mk5
6 speed Manual
5dr
Blue
Roughly 100k miles
Oem satnav
Leather
Xenons
Decat
Forge intake
Apparently drives spot on and doesn’t actually need anything doing to it.
Not much in the way of service history other than what the current owner has done.
Recorded cat D repaired. Repaired to a high standard, I can’t see myself where it has been damaged previously

Around £6K imo.
If it had a clean title, factory exhaust, factory intake and fewer miles, it would be around the 8-9 mark.
-
Less than what pudding thinks IMO
No service history and CAT D. You would do well to hide that when selling it on.
2 years ago in Ireland you could have gotten one for €4K
Now the excellent examples fetch €8K
-
4K, wow, these really have dropped recently!
I really liked mine.....for a year, and then saw the TFSI light :laugh:
-
Probably around 5k imo
No history and cat D , two massive issues for a buyer of the car

4K was based on the fact that our tax for an R32 in Ireland is €1809 I think
Nobody wanted them in the recession or for years after so prices dropped.
Now the car market is back and people pay through the nose for some of these "classics".
-
I can see how road tax that high would put people off buying them!
-
I would say 4-5k. That's just an opinion though.
Does look nice though. Ask if there are any pictures of the previous damage
-
I would guess this car's "worth" about the same as ello's new bucket seats!?! :surprised:
Apparently? :signLOL:
:confused:
-
4000 how many owners
Some guys trying to sell an 06 plate same colour for 4000 with 10 owners :scared:
-
That many owners isn't uncommon with the R32s. It's nothing shady. People underestimated it's fuel costs, and over estimated it's performance and handling. It wasn't the car people hoped it would be. Very heavy, strange torque curve, very thirsty and not very quick. That's why they changed hands frequently.
The smart R32 purchase currently would be a cherished 3dr MK4 with <3 owners and < 50K miles.
-
This has had 9 owners. Amount of owners doesn’t really concern me when it comes to performance cars as like someone posted earlier a lot of people get them then under estimate the running costs or some just fancy a pose for the summer
-
I would have picked it up this weekend but the owners scared me off as I want to resell it :signLOL:

Looks nice that, is it hpi clear? Will be cheaper tax bracket too because of its age, How many miles has it done? Think the guy selling the one I posted about is gonna let me have it for £3500 but nothing set in stone yet.

I'd rip his foo**** arm off for 3.5 if he does :signLOL:m
it is a noc looker though.
Hpi clear 11 year old car I'm sure it is but again 10 owners??? Mileage 109k
Would someone buy that for more than 4K lol 1 offered him 3.8 without even knowing how many hands it's exchange. Air bag light on he says it's when he moved his seat lol
Front wheel bearing. He also sold a red one in April £5100
-
I’d say it’s worth £3800 all day being hpi clear. Air bag lights come on mk5’s for all sorts of reasons but I have personally had one come on by moving the seat on my old 56 plate tdi.
The amount of owners wouldn’t be an issue for me, I’ve owned 4 mk5 gti’s (I think) and a couple of s3 8p’s aswell as a lot of other hot hatch motors and majority of them have had a lot more owners than your average family car... it’s pretty common with this style of car, low owners and mileage is a rarity in performance hatch’s (from experience) and because of that people selling them want top money.
-
I'm going to pass on it as I don't wanna take a big gamble and be lumbered with a four grand motor although london is where the deep pockets are :signLOL: just not mine :doh:
