Golf R Observations and Questions

Are Redbook prices about right for the 2nd hand Golf R market at the moment ?

Also, anyone that has sold one recently, much interest ?

I just checked, $37-41k for a MY13 Golf R DSG

Re: Golf R Observations and Questions

The Merc I spoke about is almost ready. I need to seriously look at options.

Either to offload the R or keep it as a second car. Not sure we need it if this other car arrives.

I hope you have checked what the service costs on 63s are

Know someone that sold last week FWIW... got mid-high $40s in the end & had it on the market for 6+ weeks.
MY11 DSG, RB, 18,000 kms, RVC, Leather, BT, RNS510, ACC, 19" Talledegas, APR Stage 1. Pretty cheap IMO with all the extras?
I have been keeping an eye on CarSales in general too, and not much movement.

I know but I'm seriously going to be pissed if I don't at least seriously work this option out.

Logic might prevail, not sure

Thanks mate - gives me a good starting point

Mine has a few more kms and not optioned up as much.

For what it's worth, the first service on our C63 Estate last year was $787.55, performed by MB Alexandria. It was a 12 month service so just covered the usual checks and basic oil and filter changes - no additional work performed.

Man up and get the Mercedes Benz.

I am not attempting to live vicariously through someone I don't even know. Most definitely not.

The 63 is great and looks awesome, my 20yo friend takes lots of nice pics of his. The P plate ruins the shot a bit tho

My 12mth service for the bimmer was about the same. It was the 24mth service that convinced me to move that car on to richer, greener pastures (the invoice $ started with a 4)

$400 wow

As SF is aware, the car I am looking at is not new and outside warranty (not a concern based on how it has been driven)

Will be serviced by an independent (already sorted).

I've actually written the ad for my R. Will decide this weekend if I go ahead or not.

ps - it is a rather special C63 ....

Get where your head is CM, or your heart truth be told, as we have debated with the GTI crowd it is not about the dollars it is about the enthusiasm

If it is your bliss post your ad now while before the MK7 comes out

One of my mates has a C63. Great car, the noise is to die for. You'll become great mates with the petrol station employees.

It's black SF, as I've told you (in colour and name)

Hookers, no idea what they are. Something to do with real estate ?

Policemen - no, been there, done that

Fridge repair men - only if they can get me cheap tyres
