2007 R32 - 20,000klms $38.500

[lawsy82]

Tough decision here. I have found a 2007 3 dr R32, DSG 20,000klms and Blue which I can have for $38,500.

3 dr R32 are rare expecially in Blue and low klms, and the price is good.

I have a deposit down on the Mk6 GTI with options, which will cost me $46,500.

So it is either a R32 now, or a brand new mk6 GTI which I have to wait another 6mths for - and will cost $8,000 more

What u guys reckon??

[noone]

Very different cars.

R32 sounds lovely, but probably not as tune'able for power.
GTI is FWD

Really have to drive both and see which one you click with.

Personally, I would get the R32 now. Apart from all you have said, the R32 will also loose the least amount of $$.

Also, if you really like the GTi, you could sell the R32 after 6 months when you take delivery of the GTi.

That would be an expensive way to go. You must have liked the GTI to have put a deposit on it, I reckon just wait and get it.

i say get the r32 then use the remaining money to put buy a capristo exhaust

R32 for 38.5k.. thats a steal! There are 07-08 GTI's going for more.

If you're gonna wait for 6 months for your GTI, I suggest looking into the R20 which will be out in July supposedly. I dont think a definite price has been released on one of those, but apparently between the price of GTI and R32.

Good luck either way!

There was a Reflex Silver R32 DSG with around the same amount of kms on carsales going for $38500 until a couple of days ago, it sat there for ages too, i couldn't beleive how long it sat there for!! There are a few going cheap all the time on there, especially the DSG's, i saw one go for $32000 with 80kms recently. There was a 6MT going for $37000 with only 27000kms on it, but the price went up to $39000 2 days later(maybe when they realised it was chaper than a couple of Mk4s at the time!!).

For me i'd take an R32 over the MK6 GTI, its all about personal choice though, i guess you could buy the R32, and if you decide you want a Mk6 after a few months, then just sell the R32 again, i'm sure you wouldn't lose too much money on it!

I say go the GTI. Much more versatile if you want to tinker.

This is another case of no-one being able to make the decision for you.

Drive both of them and see which one brings a smile to your face as they are both very different animals. There are a few R32 vs GTI threads which you may want to search for. They outline positives and negatives of both cars.

mmm Tough Decision can't say I like the stock look of the R32 MKV but I would imagine it's a great car to drive...

MK6 GTI looks good but meh No beautiful VR note...

R32- extend the factory warranty for another 3 years + as someone else mentioned: new exhaust. And you still have 5k change from your gti price...

i'd get R32 as well. last of the V6 in a golf chassis. something a little more unique than a GTI. i reckon it's plenty fast enough.

Fast enough for you maybe!!

R32 anyday, but then again, I'm biased....
