Car advice needed please.

Hi all. I currently have a mk4 R 32 that lives in the garage and a mk5 gti dsg that I use for every day.



I love both cars and ended up like this as I sold my diesel Vrs as my commute dropped from 90 miles a day to 18 total and in 2 months it drops again to 10 daily. Then I got sick and tired of my garaged car a mk1 golf gti supercharged as I did not take it out in the wet and then it was so hot it was a pain without aircon. So that went for the R32.

I am toying with the idea of selling both even though I have only had them 6 months and getting one car. Am tempted by either a mk5 R32 or something else. Maybe an Audi S4. Or should I stick as I am. With a best of both worlds job. If I get what I have in mind. I will still pay the same in tax as it costs more and probable the same in insurance and fuel once it's all said and done. But also I won't loose as much money if I sell up with both cars as having one. If I did sell I though a realistic price would be £6000-£6500 for the R and maybe £7000 for the gti. So say £13000 to spend.

What's your thoughts guys.

Depends on alot of things 

If it was me i would only have one car as the car in the garage is such a waste , whatever it is . If its appreciating in value then that would be the only thing for me to keep it . Both cars are similar in performance and the GTI is more economical and newer (not by much) but is alot more modern than a MK4

With only £13k you are not going to get much , an S4 is just an A4 with a big engine . You have mentioned depreciation and that will be double with two cars .

I would get rid of both an buy the very best Edition 30 you can find and keep any cash left over for some mods , especially if your mileage is not going to be much 

But then i am biased

I would deffo get rid of both and start again with one car!

Ed30/pirelli all day long

Yep have to agree with others in that you're better off with an Edition30!

You'd be better off with a Golf R or an Audi S3 to be honest.
Much more capable.

Am very tempted to be honest now that I do little work miles can have what I want. For £13 k I could get either a mk6 gti. Mk5 r32. I know the ed 30 hold their money but I am not swapping these two for one of them. Going to have to drive an s4 first I think. The 4.2 V8 may make the difference.

See, I'd love to have a mkv gti as a daily and a mk4 r32 sitting in the garage as a weekend toy...

[Human Joist]

That's as it is at the moment. I use both and love both. The R32 does not sit in the garage all the time. Sometimes I swap them for a week and put the gti in the garage. I am not going through all the hassle of selling to get an ed30 or Pirelli for that much cash as I don't see the point. Not even sure of its worth it all for a mk5 R. Think if I drive a capable S4 for the cash and I really love it I could be tempted though. Just airing my thoughts as still not decided. For the money there are some very nice looking S4's about

[Scottymon]

S5?

[greygti]

S3 and map it with hardware to 340 bhp +

Sell the r32 and spend the cash on the gti!! Or if it was me I'd keep the gti and buy a mk2 gti with the r32 cash lol

Had a look at S5's on net. Very nice but for that cash they are pushing 90k. I used to have a mk2 gti before then a corrado etc. Problem is I don't use that sort of car in the wet so it tends to end up sitting in the garage hence the R32. If I sell these it will be for a big engined every day jobby

Why are you not considering an S3.


That being said I hate "what car do i buy" threads because people never listen anyway

buy an edition 30/pirelli
