Seems cheap for the mods and spec. Is the car high mileage? Really fond of the Mk4 R32 myself, so im sure you will love it. Absolutely loved my mates when he had it.

You never get your money back on mods, so don't stress over it. £13k sounds good.

....You're absolutely right but most people conveniently forget that!

Thats a tough one, i just read your build thread again and although I am a big fan of the MKIV R32 i would say no, well not a silver one a def not a modified one as where the fun in that youve bought someone else's creation.Maybes a standard p/blue or the very rare Red.

£13k for yours

about £7.5k for the MKIV R32 you were looking at. That leaves £5.5k towards the turbo/supercharger upgrade :happy2:

Supercharger route is a little cheaper than turboing I've heard, but doesn't give the ultimate power a Turbo does.

Joe,

I'd be tempted by the 370bhp s/charged one that Jules posted about. It looks like he may be desperate to sell now and so might even accept the £13k you have been offered for your :wink:

That conversion is worth the money all day :happy2:
Title: Re: Help me.....WHAT DO I DO!!??
Post by: joesgti on July 29, 2009, 11:22:56 am
it HAS to be blue!!  :P
the charger conversion wont be getting done for a while anyweays, need coilovers first, then 19" ch's (black) then bluflame, THEN charger,  :happy2:

Ok, ok, blue it is (I don't blame you really :wink:)

£8k for the car, £2k for the wheels/tyres and then another £1k for the suspension should give you at least £2k left from your GTI sale for the conversion. Which means you'll need at least another £4k to finish it. :happy2:

Spend the money and buy a 'known' car.

I could clock an R32 with a Gameboy and the 'Trader is the worst place to be looking for one. Nobody with a good one uses it, because they know they'll get better money & quality of enquiries from a specialist site.

if its a mk4 , then theres a timing chain tolerance value to check which I never knew until I was on R32OC.

specialist sites like what? i was going to view the blue one on sat mornin, its only 20 miles away so may aswell, why isnt it on dvla  :confused:

A forum, like R32OC - you want one that's been owned by an enthusiast. You may get lucky and drop on a family owned car, but you're fishing in a small pool of cars with a fair few dogs.

The DVLA has a link where you can check the basics of a car based on its reg and type, on the link in my post. That reg either doesn't exist or isn't for that R32. Too many things in that ad make me think its a bad un.

It's most likely to stop savvy people doing a text HPI check on it and finding out its history, they'll be relying on someone 'green' to view it, fall in love and not ask too many questions.

Ask for the VIN, see what it comes up with. I'm sure someone on here can do a bit of digging on it?
