New R36 owner

[Vee]

Hi All,

Just joined the forum after agreeing to buy a MY10.5 R36, I pick it up later in the week.


2010 Volkswagen Passat R36 Type 3C Auto 4MOTION MY10.5

Although it has slightly higher than average km's its seems to have been very well kept and it absolutely blew away the other cars I was looking at bang for buck wise. I am a bit of a BMW fan and was keen on a 335i wagon but after test driving both back to back the R36 had me.

I'm not too sure if I want to do much in the way of mods, hopefully it will retain its value fairly well being the last model made and in the desirable colour combo as is. That said I'm happy to take any tips for must do's! One thing that would be handy is a set of roof racks as I snow ski. Also trying to justify the $700 to put some euro plates on it.

I'm based in Melbournes North West suburbs if anyone car recommend a good independent specialist out this way.

Cheers

V

CongRatulations, and welcome to the R club!
It's an exclusive club but one well worth the price of entry

I've done a few mods to mine, its up to you if you think they're worthwhile. I certainly do.

Congratulations. You'll never get tired of that blue.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome guys

I'm not opposed to them but as its a daily and my wife will also be driving it not looking to go nuts. Any one thing you couldn't live without?

Probably the drl s to be honest. They should have been there from factory to match the tails.
Though since I installed the Dynaudio amp last night that could well be no.1 soon...

Good buy! Welcome to the r36 club!

Oh and the colour cluster. Makes the car feel more modern.

Welcome to the R36 club mate. Plenty of people have done mods on the forum so have a search around. As for relatively cheap mods, do a search on threads started by me. I have done plenty but i havent spent a huge amount doing them. With regards to roof racks, i am pretty certain that i am going to sell mine as i have never used them and i now have a territory that has roof racks so i wont need them. They are the aero versions and look great but if you are interested, let me know. Happy hunting.

That's because Snerlo's a cheapskate

It's already a brilliant car so if you do nothing other than drive it you'll enjoy it.

If there is anything that you feel is lacking there is plenty of information and helpful forum members to point you in the right direction.
