Title: Unsure what to do??
Post by: GTIStevie on July 14, 2011, 01:15:24 pm

Right Ive been looking at getting an R32 and found this one near me yesterday, looks reasonable but I'm not sure whether to get one or hang out till next year and try for a newer ed30 White dsg.

Might go to look at it this weekend anyone know any good tips on what to look out for when buying an R32??

Here is one I'm looking at http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3010275.htm

Cheers

Should have had a DSG oil change at 40k.........
Also, I think the cambelt should have been changed at least once as well?

Not a very descriptive ad, sounds a bit iffy to me. The more you spend, the better the car will be.

I wouldn't rule it out.  He's also selling an Audi A3 and the turbo off a Mitsubishi Evo, so is he perhaps a trader, trading from home?  On the basis that you should never buy the first one you see, my advice would be to go and have a look.  At least you'll have something to compare the next car with!

Lamborghini on photo too, looks a bit worn on inside for 58k, but that said it's easy to find things to pick at from adverts, I would prefer the r32 to ed30, but if you want bhp then wait for the ed30, have a look at it, then an eddy and decide for yourself :happy2:
