yeah by the looks of those numbers

[sir_camel]

I paid slightly more than 30K for mine and it had 110,000kms less on it...

[scoob02]

Sounds like a top purchase, Sir Camel :smile:

and makes this ones price look way over the top...but good luck to him i say!

I used to see that car a lot driving to and from work.
Looks pretty clean from the little i've seen of it.

high k's should'nt be a problem if its been serviced. However I think he is dreaming at 30 or over.

had no idea they had droped that low

[scoob02]

yeah its pretty grim, but i guess the second hand market isn't that great and the market for this type of car isn't that large either...

to some people spending $30-35K on a 4-5yr old 3 door hatch doesnt make sense....I pity those poor souls! :cool:

[STV4SYT]

the 2nd hand car market is dismal at the minute, with so many deals to be had on new cars, the market has really dropped off.

Im gonna hang on to mine for a while as its hard to justify spending $15k to change an 18 month old car into something pretty similar again.

**** you blokes are hard....:eek: for a R it might be aging but they still go better than alot of so called second hand cars..

Ok i mighten know the history of this one,if serviced properly it should still be the goods:rolleyes:

It's not just the engine but the whole car that has done the high km..

Can't really win either way with cars, so may as well enjoy them.

i'm with you on this one and if I wasn't saving for another house next year (and with the Minister of Treasury and Finance's permission) i'd love to get back into a high-performance Mk IV :bowdown:

Yeah it depends how it's been looked after.

I had a really nice example of a 1997 Audi A4 quattro, but the km still turned people off that hadn't seen the car. Parts usually need replacing after 120k but if you get one with more than that they have probably been replaced already.

Don't think anybody is disputing the fact that an R32 is a bloody good car..its just this one thats for sale for $30K and has done 160,000ks, which seems a bit 'toppish' in price...especially when there are other available for a little bit more coin and with much lower kms on the clock :cool:

My one has 180,000ks:banana: still drives better than cars with than 50,oooks and i feel safer.....

$30k ??? neg i would say...

[Mrk_Mickey]

It's an unfortunate thing that the amount of km's sway people regardless of anything else. It's true that higher km's are only bad if the car has been maltreated or if it's just been overworked, but for something that has been engineered in such a way I don't think you could go wrong with a well treated one no matter how many km's you've got.

...It still won't change people's mindsets/price offers though...lol.

The market will tell him it's too expensive if it doesn't sell.. 30k is a bit too much for a car with those km but not exactly sure what they are worth. MK4 R32's seem to hold their value very well..

Also depends how it's been looked after as mentioned above.
