My 2010 is roughly the same price as 3 R32s on the web. All are older than mine and out of warranty. I'm tempted. Should I?

How about wait and see what the new mk7 brings

I understand.
The R32 is a pretty special Golf. They are NOT anywhere near as good to drive as a GTI though. The Haldex version in the R32, even with updates, is nowhere near as good as what comes standard in the Mk6 R. They are a lead tipped arrow which needs alot of money to really get any faster...but who cares, they sound awesome.
But believe me, they're not worth $30,000.
Something you will notice is that thanks to the high prices people are not actually buying them.
High 20's for a low KM late model R32 tops. Any more is dreaming, but power to those advertising them and able to find someone to pay it.

High 20s was my budget considering I would be going from a car with warranty and an option to extend. Haldex?

It is the pseudo AWD system employed by VW, honestly mate if you are not up to speed on the specifics of an aging R32 I would strongly advise you to drool from afar. Harsh but the older you will thank me in 3 yearsOriginally Posted by MovieDude

Cruel to be kind, enjoy your GTI and save for the R.

Or stay with the GTI. GTI's are a impressive car in themselves. If your looking at a R32, maybe have a look at a R36 passat?

I can understand why you would want to get a r32, I was after on when getting my gti. However, other than the amazing sound of the v6, I don't think a trade down on one is a good idea. You will get an older model with less features, and the interior would be a big step down over a mk6gti also.
But it's ultimately up to u, not what others think.
