I am just really bored with my car I guess. Still looking for 10k cars to see what is out there. Anyone have any suggestions for a solid 10k car that is fun to drive? And for those not keeping track, I try to get rid of my car about every 2 months lol.

I just did some more research on my loan for my GTI and it is not good news. I have 51 months left on the loan, lol. God I thought it had been longer since I got the car. I took out a 72 month loan (I know, I know, I wanted the car and was foolish). I am however about 5k upside down on the car as a whole. So if I kept my payment the same, I could get a different 14,000 car along with my -equity and be at the same payment and same time until maturity. I am not going to get into another 72 month buy, so I am pretty sure that I just eliminated the R32. Doesn't make much sense to spend a grand total of 10k more dollars for a 2 year older car with 0 warranty. I have 30k of warranty left which is about 2 years of driving.

Any information on your claim?

2500

Yes, 3.2 VR6 with 240hp, all 6mt and haldex AWD. After driving the R32, my GTI felt boring. And you can't beat the sound of the R32. Anyone have 614streets number for an inspection?

I appreciate all of the help so far. I get a little over excited about new cars at times lol. I think for 17k with a fixed radio and key fob it would be a great deal. Anything else you think I should know before going back there? Thanks.

I am not trying to be a dick, but you must not know much about the R32. They are selling for around 17-22k for ALL mileage and condition cars. They have been one of the best resale value cars for years. Before the MKV R32 came out it was common to see them for 25-30 with 30-60k miles on them. I am not saying it is worth that to you, but to those that love VW's, they are THE car to have.

Just checked the VW classifieds, there are only a handful going for under 20k regardless of the mileage and condition.

Well besides the radio and key fobs not working, the car is in above average condition. The engine bay is crazy clean, as well as the interior and exterior. Only a few chips and scratches on the exterior, very minor. They do have another one with 67k miles and that is a very average car, and their price is 16990 on that one, but it is much rougher. So what would you spend 18k on? They are giving me more for my trade than anyone else has offered, that is the reason for looking at their car.

If they would go to 17k, I would have the exact same car payment as on my GTI. It only has 3k more miles than my 06 GTI does, however I would lose 30k of warranty that is left on my GTI, and be paying for 2 more years than if I were to pay off my GTI. It def isn't the best decision to make, however I love the car.

The car has a price of 17,995...... The 04 R32 has incredible resale value. It is actually priced decently at Dotson. Others online have are going for around 17-20k.

Anyone have anything to say about Denny Dotson in Johnstown? I know they tent to have rougher performance oriented cars, but they have a 2004 R32 with 47k that is VERY clean. It drove well, has new tires etc. It did have an aftermarket intake from a reputable VW tuner and an aftermarket radio that wasn't working. He said he would replace the radio to make everything work though. Also there is only 1 key, and the fob buttons do not work. He said he had no problem with me taking it for an inspection either. Thoughts?

From the sound of it, the plastic is the same stuff GM used in its F-body rear ends.......

Yeah the vid mentioned that the tech has been around for a while, but its the price and compact size of the current gen stuff that will help them get into shops that aren't building 100k+ restorations and projects. The action figure/avatar idea is cool too.

http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/video_player.shtml?vid=944641 It basically takes a detailed picture of a part which can be transferred into another machine to either make the part itself, or like in the link, it makes it out of plastic. The "printer" is pretty amazing. It can make real working parts in one shot, no assembly or anything needed for any of the things seen in the video.

Fixed

Its all personal preference. I like the original grill the best, followed by a blacked out intercooler. Car looks great. You need to bring it to some OVW meets at Hatfield.

It most def isn't NEW in the VAG world, in fact the time attack look is now going away (thank god). It was popular for a few years but is now getting into "played out" status.

Looks good man. Ever thought about painting the intercooler black? it would blend in better and be mega stealth. Pull the red stripe though. (had to say it. lol)

Granted lol. Good luck on the search.

Get her a Penzone's gift card for a massage scheduled for while you are at work Saturday. Then get reservations at a nice rest, such as Hyde Park, and then sexy time or a movie or whatever you guys like to do.

Glad everything worked out in the end. However, you call a 9 year old Camaro a "newer" car?

Needs wheels and 1" lower in rear, 1.5 in front.

Details?
