Red mk4 R32

[Mitch9894]

So, any Vask'ers know who's the new owner of this car?

I don't think its changed hands?

For the Mk4 R32 doubters https://www.thedrive.com/news/35729/some-turkey-loved-this-1800-mile-volkswagen-golf-r32-so-much-they-spent-62000-on-it

Super nice!

but only 1800ml/2900km and US spec 

the exception rather than the norm for a us r32

as someone said, most nz cars will have 140km+ and be in poor condition.

A very gross generalisation. I know a handful of NZ new cars under 100kms two of which have had one owner from new.

I'll email the last known owner and find out, will be interesting to hear.

If my experience of TM selling is anything to go by, there will be a hundred watchers all waiting for a lowball offer

Ok, i'll take the hook and run with it as this was my topic. John, you should know better than most people that as time goes by and circumstances change (and boy, do they change quickly in this world), so does past aspirations. The time when i did have the finances and resources for this car it was not on the market. Now that i don't, it's on the market. Am i sad?, yes i am, but i still hope it goes to a good home and someone that will look after it the way i know my R32 went to a good person who will take care of the car. Perhaps i will get my chance again in future, who knows.

That's life for you.

No bad intentions here Superfeuler, I just find it really ironic how soooo many people have talked about this red R32 and now that its for sale no one steps up.
Same goes for manual and 3 door cars - hear it all the time, one pops up and it just sits there.........

[slowmo]

I found my 3-door after lockdown so i’m sorted. Red’s not really my thing.

I hear you John 

It's strange to me also as to no bids yet, perhaps some of the watchers are waiting for the last 2 minutes of the auction to chase bids up like what happens a lot of times on TM.

Your DBP R32 is beautiful slowmo. Did you sell the mk5?

[slowmo]

I’m guessing most interested buyers would contact directly and negotiate directly if they are keen.

Thanks, yup sold the MK5 R32, now lives in Auckland

I see she has sold for $16000. Looks like there's still hype for the red rocket.

It was just one bidder though.

[slowmo]

Popped up on Facebook buy/sell group with $22k asking price.

Looks like it has sold already bases on comments.

[superfueler]

Wow, $22k and already sold again, wonder where the car is off to next?

[slowmo]

I was told it is headed to Wellington. Will keep an eye out for it!
