    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.

    No I'm not trading the vr6 If I get one once I sell the BMW. I'll be strippin down and going down the turbo route.

    If I had 10k I would probably get into a cheap mk4 GTI but not enough funds as yet.

    Ad I would rather try to sav up more cash for the newer car.

    Why do you make your GF sit in the backseat.

    I'm lucky if my wife lets me drive our car!

    They're still a pretty penny.. I do like the BMW marque, but I would prefer something of the vag brand..
