Hello from a teenager

[TSi2NV]

Hey it looks reasonale tide could be a good score

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,
Trent

Trent is right on the money side of things. I keep on spending money on my VR and thats mostly on replacement parts. on the weekend my VR stopped getting fuel to the engine. fuel pump is working fine which leads to the relay (thank goodness) but unsure of that yet. waiting on confirmation from my old man.

but yea...some ppl seem to have endless problems and some ppl have a really good run with their VR's. i guess it goes down to how it has been treated or just unlucky.

i definately wouldnt rule out the audi as they are so damn sexy. love em all.

thats a shame mate get an s3 instead

Treza360, I do like - well, love - the Audi, I just feel that a non-turbo A3 is not very exciting.. And full comp insurance with Just Car would be 6 grand a year! Oh and don't worry, I do remember when petrol was less than half that, I was born in Germany, lived there for 10 years.. I'd spend half my afternoon days with my dad filling up his 993 Carrera. That was before he upgraded to a red Ferrari 348. Yum

bbsoyskidz, I'd do plenty of nasty things for an 8L S3, Noggy blue preferred, but I fall under the P-Plate rules.. Taking all the fun away

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..

The VR6 can be frightingly quick....I know, I owned one. It really scared me on one ocassion.

They can be very good on fuel if you can show alot of restraint .

Then there is the sound of that VR6.....it's fantastic.

I'm not sure I would buy THAT one...I'd be looking for a stanard one that has been love as a VR6 should be. Then the fun begins....

There are a grand total of 6 VR6's which have been babied and garaged their whole life. The rest are owned by one of two people;

Those that claim they never flogged them (yeah right)
and
Those that admit to having flogged them but also looked after them.

Chances are the first group haven't even bothered changing the oil in the last 2 years.

There is nothing wrong with giving it a good run if you look after it, warm it up, change the fluids regularly and keep it nice and tidy.

That's probably more like the stock sound.

That quite clearly has a pod in it, the shi77ty phone camera can't pick up all the deeper sounds of the CAI...
