Having myself owned a VR6 before ..... I'd say this ..... the VR6 will be no more reliable or cheaper to run than the 528i ..... as much as it pains me to say, stay clear of old VR6s .....
The 1.8T VWs (and Audis) are much more reliable and make great power .... and awesome track toys ....![]()
Old VR6 will cost $5-8K and about $5K to keep running over 6 months ....whereas GTI (Polo or MK4 Golf) will cost $10-15K and almost nothing to run for 6 months.
None of them trade well, so be prepared to lose $5K on trade regardless of what older VW you buy.
