Title: White Mk5 R32 !!
Post by: Jakesangel on March 31, 2015, 03:14:22 pm
I've just seen a white 2008 model R32 for sale on Autotrader with 23,000 miles on the clock and have to say its looks absolutely fantastic in that colour (In my opinion). I didn't know they were actually made in white so I was really suprised to see one. Admittedly the colour seems to be reflected in the asking price of £15,500 but if I had the money lying around I think I would be really tempted. We've got a Candy White GTi at the moment and the R32 looks soooo much better. I don't know how to attach the link but if anyone can be bothered to look on Autotrader i'd be interested in your opinions. Cheers  :happy2:

Yes mate that's the kiddie.

Thanks for putting the link up as I couldn't do it.

The more I look at it the more tempting I am, but you are getting into "R" money at that price. Mind you it would be a lovely example to own I think.  :smiley:

£15k, he must be joking.

Midrange kumho tyres, cheap intake, tacky stickers on the boot, standard seats (would expect mint recaros for that price!!!)

Miles is very low and a rare colour but that is scene tax to the highest degree.

White R32's are rare but as with other colours as soon as you start clocking up mileage their value starts to drop fairly sharply. A very low mileage (7000 miles) mint one in DBP Metallic was sold recently for around £16000 and has appeared on a Dealers Website with a hilarious price tag a smidge under £20000.

15k  :stupid:

I like the look of the rear but the front doesn't do it for me plus paying £500 a year tax is crazy

There's two white r32s on as I seen them last week when I was thinking of changing my gti for one. I'm sure I've read on one of these forums that there is only 8 candy white mk5 r32s registered in the uk, might be wrong.

IMO the white mk5 gti looks far nicer than the r32 mk5, but I would say that  :happy2: blue or red is the colour for a 32 . Seen a red mk4 32 on autotrader aswell  :drool: :drool: pretty rare to

Looks nice in white but overpriced. A few R32's on Autotader for silly money!

That's twice what I paid for my car, and it's nowhere near twice the car!

I saw a white R32 a couple of days ago and was very surprised as I know they are mega rare.

Looking for way too much money there and the stickers ruin a car like that!

He has an RS4 sitting in the garage there with him so he doesn't seem like a person strapped for cash either!!
