Pirellis were silly money still when I was looking 2 years ago, around the 20 grand and upwards mark!

Is there a UK R32 forum?

Yup. www.r32oc.com

Just ask on there, they will tell you that the GTI ed30 is the best ;-)

t=3m22s

 :grin: :grin: :grin:

yes the ed30 v r32 argument has been done to death! some site the fact that the ed30 was almost 3secs slower around the TG track as a clue as to which is quicker. Some will quote straight line speeds to say the ED30 is quicker. Ultimately the ride/handling and sound track for me just pip the ed30... and like I said im not biased  :jumpmove:

I love the seats in my Ed30, although I do like the Pirelli seats too, but I prefer the Pescaras to the pirelli wheels so its a trade off, as he said they were (PIrelli) silly money back then, now they have come down a lot in price and are same money as a good Ed30. When the Golf R gets down to 15K thats the only time My ED30 will be leaving  :happy2:

That's the sort of price I'd want to pay for an R, but I reckon you'll be looking at a 4 year old car by the time they're that kind of money.

According to my brother Golf R after 3yrs should be possible after 4 years very easy, I always let someone else pay the massive 3 yr depreciation anyway  :happy2:

Oldest ones are 2yo now and still around 25 grand. You think they'll lose 10 big ones in a year? I'm not so sure, but I'll definitely be checking!

I don't see Golf R values becoming 15K in a years time they're 25K at the moment.  I reckon it'll be two more years till we see 15K.  Though thats more a guess on my part!

Yup they are definately holding their money currently (artificially I think) according to my bro (in the industry) he reckons a 3yo R ave miles and spec should be around the £16-17k mark (higher miles less money) a 4yo should be around £14.5k. Obviosuly you need to buy at trade (auction) to get those prices  :happy2:

In regards to R32 versus ED30 debate youn can compare them to women.

The ED30 is lighter, more fun (Filty) and a bit more adventurous (You can tune her higher and do things to her you wont do to the "Nice" R32), whereas the slightly chubby R32 is a reliable old girl you could take home to meet your mother  :signLOL:

What kind of auctions would one go to see these cars at that kind of price?
