Trade in price on a R32

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.

i dont know where ur looking but nearly all the mk4 r32's on carsales are priced at above 30k. and theres only two mk5 r32s under 40k both are 5 door dsg with higher than average k's!

And those Mk4 R32's have been on the market for ages...really need to be priced below the 30K mark to sell

no way i would pay above 30K for one now...25-28K would be reasonable i would think

I agree takes far too long to sell if you want too much.. Just like the MK5's over 50k aren't selling either.

So the quest will continue for me.

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).

They will both be classics after 30 years.

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.
