I have always wondered why enthusiasts have modified their cars to their liking and then sell them with mods still in-place. Wouldn't it make more sense to return their cars to stock standard, and sell the hardware mods separately. At least with standard parts fitted, no prospective buyer will be the wiser. Perhaps this is not very transparent, but as always, caveat emptor!Quote:

Appreciate some people shy away from modifications but I'd rather be honest like most people are on this forum when selling their pride and joy. The car was offered in both stock and modified state, given how many GTIs and Rs are modified I think most second hand buyers accept this.Quote:

As most would be aware by now I'm fairly in touch with what something is worth and how to work a deal, and was priced under $30k. I can be honest - it was wholesaled for $26.5k, and the dealer had it advertised at $29.5k. I'm guessing it went for no more than $29k. Point is I had a deal done for the other car and needed to move it on.
To be honest I'd pick a second hand car like this clearly looked after by an enthusiast than an unknown stock example that probably was thrashed out of the driveway every day.
Anyway I'm drifting off topic from the R here so I'll end it there. :)
Having considered both the Audi S3 and the Golf R , i decided that for my application the Audi was the far better choice Attachment 9682
Congratulations on your wise choice. It certainly looks good in red with the S performance package and sunroof. I'm sure forum members would be interested to know what was your criteria in choosing the S3 over the R, even if it's all been heard before from others.Quote:

Yer quite interesting and im also a little worried. I have talked to him on facebook. If anyone is interested the two facebook pages are 'MK7 Golf R Owners Group Australia' and 'MK7 Golf R' which is more a UK based one but everyone seens to be on that aswell.Quote:

I can tell you that the S3 is not a good car if you're into drifting.... I tried (on a race track).
The RS4 on the other hand is much better. :)
Do you know what happened? For something to end up like that I think he mustve hit a pothole or something else :/ orrrr it was a rota :pQuote:
