There's a black one on trademe in hams, its a 4 door though. If i was you i would keep looking until a 2 door becomes available, the mk4 R32 just looks better with 2 doors no doubt, and they hold their value better then the 4 door. I have a family, so (according to the missus) i am allowed to enjoy the "family version" of the 4 R32.  :D

I've had a quick glimpse of 2door mk4's and i definitely agree they're better looking than the 4 door, hopefully can find one!

Correction 32 NZ New 3dr's the 33rd was a miss count. 14 Deep Blue Pearl, 11 Black Magic Pearl, 5 Reflex Silver, 1 Tornado Red and 1 Blue Anthracite Pearl.

They don't come up very often but do none the less. Maybe 2-3 a year come up.

Great cars but I suggest you drive one before you commencing the hunt for an NZ New 3dr. They also command a silly to most premium over the Japanese import 5dr.

And at least one of the NZ new cars has been written off and wrecked (a DBP one).

...and a couple have been turboed and one silver one recently stolen/recovered.

All the others are fairly higher mileage so you?ll be paying a premium for a high mileage car.

Correct a 1 of the 14 DBP cars was written off in 2009 and the body has been reincarnated in the from of a Jetta Coupe and the engine and gearbox are now in the Turbo R32 currently on TM.

I almost wonder if the stolen / recovered car is undergoing repairs now to then later pop up for sale again. Will be cool to have a 2 door model with sunroof.
