Hello everyone

Hi there. Owned a mk5 gti a decade ago, looking to get back in with a R. Will post a separate WTB soon.

Hi and welcome......or perhaps welcome back to the land of VW. Are you looking for a Mk6 or Mk7 R?

Thanks for the reply. Prefer 7 but would consider 6.

Thanks for the reply. Prefer 7 but would consider 6.

Personally I think the Mk6 is a better drivers car than the Mk7, but the Mk6 is getting old and most have been modified and had multiple owners by now. It will be hard to find a nice example that has been well looked after and doesn't have 200,000km + on it.

Plenty of Mk7's around though. I'd say 85% of them are DSG, so if you want a manual it will take a bit of searching to find a decent one. Join a couple of the Facebook groups (eg GTI and R Owners Club Australia, Eurocruisers etc) there are always people advertising cars for sale.
