Hey guys,
So I'm torn right now because I'm torn between selling my 08' VW R32 for a 13' Mazda Speed3.
I'm considering getting rid of the R32 because it will be out of the CPO next year and concerned about the costs of being out of warranty on a car that has known issues with the DSG. I have the car where I want it to be, coilovers, exhaust, intake, clear bra and some other apperance things. The R is a blast to drive and nothing sounds like it. I may also have to start putting more miles on it for work and currently it has 47k on it.
I test drove the MS3 today and it fun. I'm currently eyeing a pearl white one with gunmetal wheels and black mirror caps with the tek package at Byers. When driving, it was fun with the turbo, rode real nice, had the bose radio with tomtom navi, bluetooh, pandora, etc. Spoke with the sales manager and he would let it go for 24k and the sticker is $27,xxx.
I have always liked the MS3 but my concerns are resale value and would I miss my R way to much. My R has lower miles than most you see on AutoTrader/Ebay, it is a more rare car and I finally have it where I want it to be.
Sorry for rambling but would value your opinion on it.
