Golf mk IV R32 - Sell or not to sell?
Discussion
If you're undecided, why not stick an advert up for what you'd ideally like to get for it? (I have no idea how much that is).
If it sells, you've made what you wanted and you're happy.
If it doesn't sell, then keep it.
I'd happily keep one of those long term. Characterful car, great engine.
I am really out of touch though - what do they tend to go for? (yes, I could go to the classifieds... but I'm lazy...)

You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Pride and joy for 10 years or £10k? Emotional attachment is a funny thing, the new car won't be the same!
Get a loan, if you have to, and stick this in the garage for weekends. This car won't depreciate now, so you can always sell in the future.

So update for you, been offered an 2003 Audi A4 Convertible for £1500. Cam belt done last June and it’s done 2000 miles since, 100,000 total. MOT until December. Something to drive around in the sun for a bit of fun. Wife and 9 year old always wanted a convertible.
All good I think, but know little about the 1.8 turbos ... any good? Anything should watch for?
Also means can keep the Golf.

I've also bought one a few months ago, but the diesel. The 1.8T ideally needs a sump drop and pickup clean/change as they are very prone to sludging and picking up crap (with the inevitable turbo death and low engine oil pressure engine death). Generally quite tough apart from that, a mate's mother has a 2003 163bhp remapped to 190bhp quattro since 2005. Lifetime average something like 32mpg. What spec is it? I think they drive very well, the 1.8T more a boulevardier as it's an 1800kg car.All good I think, but know little about the 1.8 turbos ... any good? Anything should watch for?

It’s just the average ‘T’ spec so no special trick bits but as we unlikely to go on holiday this year then may as well run about in this. 32mpg sounds better than my Golf. Sorry for the naivety but I don’t get what you mean by ‘boulevardier’ - appears to be a Campari based drink?! Do you mean sort of love or hate?!Tom H said:
