You really shouldn't be paying more than 25k for a nice one, the V's are already dropping into the low sub 30's and is a superior car.

30k is a good price for a mk4...they are gettin rare and becomin a classic fast hatch....mk5 thats a different story!
Not if everyone keeps crashing them (mk4's).Quote:

Newer car, sure.
Superior? Not so sure. The Mk5 in general was generally considered a step backwards in build and materials quality from the Mk4. You get a 2nd generation Haldex rather than 1st gen with a Mk5, otherwise the drivetrain is largely similar, engine is largely similar (same coil packs between engines for example, so they can't be too different!). Option of 5 door is there in the Mk5, not an issue for many though.
That said, I tend to agree on the price (~$25k) - it seems to be where the market is going.
$25 would be great.
I like the Silver R32 in Vic. But at + $36 bit too high me thinks.
I was thinking around $25,000. Even then, for a 6 year old car with 70,000kms on it, still a bit generous.
