Golf mk IV R32 - Sell or not to sell?
Discussion
Hi folks, I’m the proud owner of a completely standard (except black wheels) R32 that I’ve owned for over 10 years. It’s been my pride and joy and used every day (well not in lockdown).
The car is completely standard doesn’t even have a Miltek exhaust. The wheels are black as I wanted original VW wheels (and the bolt spacing is a nightmare) so replaced with all black as buying 4 black ones from ebay was cheaper than VW wanting £450 for a new one, original wheel got a hairline crack.
So one of my favourites just from phone so not too staged. My wife things should sell it and used we buy any car... I told her that it’s worth more than their estimate of £450!!!
So should I sell or should it go now??
Incidentally is 3 door more valuable than 5 door?? - my reckoning 5 door fits kids and surfboard far better, thoughts?

I think well kept mk4 Golfs are going to be a bit of a classic. They're the last Golf that's actually shaped roughly like a Golf, rather than an amorphous blob.
The R32 is just the wrong side of chavvy for my tastes, but if you like it and it's still meeting your needs, I'd say keep it.

I think the MK4 R32 is seeing a rise in values now as the chavs have moved on to the MK5 and newer. Also, the MK5 was built in vastly higher numbers. The MK4 also feels more special, a step further away from a standard car that the MK5 just didn't have as much. The Deep Blue Pearl was exclusive to the R32 too.
I say keep it. It's perfectly practical, and a decent all-rounder. If you look after it I predict values rising rapidly in 5-10 years.

Yes, i was only kidding, I'd suggest thats gotta be worth a couple of grand all day?
Seen them go recently for 10k and much more depending on condition. There are cheaper ones around but in a more used doggier condition.Gassing Station | Car Buying | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
