Hello from a teenager

[-Dell-]

Hai guise, basically I joined up because there's a VR6 for sale around the corner from where I live. It's currently got a fuel leak though, so I'm chasing the owner up in the hope of getting it as a project car.

I'm 15 years old, get my L's in January, spend too much money on fast food (I thank god daily for the metabolism I have) and I'm a complete Audi nut! This is mainly because my dad has a 2002 non-turbo A3, which he has promised to give to me when I get my license.. He wants to upgrade to a new Scirocco when they're released here.

So anyway, I hope to convince my dad to buy the VR6 instead of giving me the A3, purely because of the sound these things produce.

Cheers! Take care.

Welcome! The VR6 is a nice car, mind you the A3 isn't anything to sneeze at either. But yeah, the VR6 makes a nicer noise and will go faster out of the box

(And it's P Plater legal)

[thestu]

Welcome mate! either is great choice! welcome aboard

(And it's P Plater legal)

not any more ...well not in vic any ways

[-Dell-]

Cheers guys, I do like the A3, the interior is nice and comfy and the badge is a bit of a [borat]pussymagnet[/borat].

This is the VR6 I'm looking at.. Looks fairly standard, Recaro driver's seat, lowered, black wheels... and not much else. I'm in love




Oh oh, while I was walking over today to have another look, I saw a silver RS6 sedan drive past..

[Mischa]

ey there welcome, that thing looks pretty mean.

Hmnn that car looks familiar... is that someone on here?

yeh I was about to say that. it looks like VR6 dog's old one... (here is a link to the gallery) which tassie_euro_mk1 now owns. obviously we would have heard about it and there is a bit of a travel distance between hobart and sydney

Make sure you check the window regulators before you purchase! they will run you up about $100 each if they are broke...

If I had the chance to get one of these as my first car (especially on my L's!!!) i'd be CHEERIN!!!

Welcome to VWW mate! make sure you check out the Mk3 section for DIY tips and project ideas!!

Oh my, that one is sexy.

Hrmm, that was a fairly weird conversation between my dad and I.. He asked me how much the car was, and because I haven't asked the owner yet (left my number on the windscreen yesterday) I just said "Less than 10k". His reply was "**** that, that's a lot of money!"

Compared to, what was it? Oh that's right, a $27k Audi.

Hahahaha welcome aboard man, that's a mean looking VR you got around your corner there. I say grab it while it's still around and go nuts !

VR's are so much fun if you're young

[tassie_euro_mk1]

lol, nah not the dog lol.

I still own it and I still love it

that looks liek a very nice VR Dell. Black on black looks sweet. very stealth. untill you hear the sound

Cheers, I'm desperately trying to convince dad to buy it, but he says it wouldn't work if i let it sit there for 6 months, it would get stolen because it has no plates, etc.

lol, nah not the dog lol.

Definitely love the look, I hope it's fairly cheap and that there's nothing wrong with it... Do all VR6's sound the way they do, standard? ie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QthhCMoYCrI

and oh what a sound!

[tassie_euro_mk1]

that clip is pretty sweet dell. Dont think that has standard exhaust on it tho. sounds like it but cos its on a dyno, in a room its kinda echoie.

any aftermarket exhaust will bring out the VR6 growl

I have a remus setup and although it is old and has a few holes in the muffler it still sounds absoulety amazing. i mate here in tas has a vr and is getting a magnaflow system. Should be good to hear that in person soon.

10k seems to be a fair price, considering there is nothing wrong with the car. Have a look around the carsales websites and see whats on offer and compare.

good luck mate. the VR certainly looks the part

[-Dell-]

Well this puts an interesting spin on things, I went to my local Hungry Jacks just now, and the VR was parked on the way so I took a short detour to have a look aaanddd..... ITS GONE.

Oh and just a side note, petrol prices are decreasing, the HungryJ's is next to a Shell petrol station, normal unleaded is at 148.9. Not bad eh?

Welcome aboard mate. You youg kids these days thinking 148.9 is cheap for fuel.
I hope you have deep pockets for a VR6 mate. Don't want to be all doom and gloom but they're not the cheapest car to run and maintain. They are fantastic though.
Personally I'd be taking the newer car. It's going to be a lot less pain in the long run (being newer and all), and a lot cheaper too. An newish Audi of any sort as a first car is definitely not anything to sneeze at.
My 4 cylinder carby pov pack Magna was heaps better though.
We have an Audi section and won't hold owning one against you at all.
Cheers,
