R32 Price - Too good to be true? UPDATE
« on: January 05, 2013, 10:09:26 pm »
Hello all,

I'm not entirely sure on the forums rules regarding linking third party websites on here so i'll past the spec in here, their were no pictures posted but the price seems too good to be true.

5 Doors, Automatic, Hatchback, Petrol, 35,000 miles, Metallic Black, MOT-01-2014, 1 Owner. Metallic Paint, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Anti theft system, Body kit, CD Multichanger, Central locking, Child locks, Climate Control, Computer, Reverse parking aid, Cruise control, Driver airbag, DVD, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Foglights, Front armrest, Heated seats, Leather seats, Leather upholstery, Multi function steering wheel, Navigation system, Park distance control, Power assisted steering, Remote locking, Sideskirts, Spoiler, Front fog lights, Leather seat trim, ABS, Air conditioning, Alloy wheels, Headlight washers, Folding rear seats, Lumbar support, Immobiliser, Passenger airbag, Rear armrest, Radio/CD, Rear headrests, Sports seats, Side airbags, Traction control, Alarm, Electric door mirrors, Front electric windows, Front head restraints, Heated door mirrors, Height adjustable drivers seat, Isofix child seat anchor points, PAS, Rear electric windows, Remote central locking, Trip computer, 3x3 point rear seat belts, Audio remote control. NEW SHAPE. HPI CLEAR. MEGA SPEC. 1 OWNER FROM NEW. HEATED VW R32 SPORTS BLACK LEATHER, SAT NAV, ALLOYS AND MANY MORE EXTRAS. ONLY 35,000 MILES. BEST COLOUR COMBINATION BLACK WITH FULL BLACK LEATHER

They're asking for £9995 and it's on an 06 plate which I believe put's it in the lower tax bracket? Ticks every box for me what should I be weary of on these when checking it over? Is this a normal price for this kind of spec?

Cheers,

Haha yes mate, you inspired me! :D

It's here, no pics so i'm not sure how useful it is and yes it's relatively close by.

Yes saw that earlier, they have one with 100k on the clock too. The price sounds about right to me too!  :happy2:

Could still be the higher rate tax!

Indeed, get the reg number and find out what date it was registered. Needs to be before 23rd March 2006.

Seems a fair price to me, wisebuyers guide gives these valuations http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/index.jsp?guide=prices&page=used_cars&no=3&make=Volkswagen&model=Golf+%282004-09%29&vip=27342&yearplate=2006%2F06&mileage=35&x=41&y=2 (although I do find their valuations slightly on the high side.)

One owner and fuel costs  would probably explain the low miles, given the decent spec probably bought privately from new and cherished.
