Yes lets make it sound even more exclusive than it actually is. Don't know if the guy doesn't know what he's talking about or is being intentionally misleading.

With the mods this one is kind of realistic. Especially since the brakes have been replaced.

100 came in DBP. With the kms it should be cheaper than this even though the kms don't actually matter that much.

A little pricey but average.

This car will always have prices all over the place especially their numbers start to dwindle and they come up for sale for less and less. That said we still got to be real about things.

Thats not the signature R32 blue is it? It seems darker...

Yep DBP changes dramatically under all different types of light. It'll be the right colour.

50% depreciation in 5 years is pretty normal Tim, 25k is the going price atm. MKV's have already dipped under the 40's and are around 35k for a nice 06'.

I love the noise, but the narrow angle six just worked in the MK3, and I'm just not game enough to go through it all over again!

64k RRP. Only 50% depreciation for European car is pretty good. I'd be expecting 60 or more for other cars. Not sure what you mean about the last bit. The VR6 works very well.

Ever worked on one?

Ever worked on one?

Aside from pulling off the front bar and other basic stuff no. But that's what mechanics are for.
And how often do you hear about R32 owners blowing their engine that they have to pull the thing apart?

Its not about blown motors, (which do tend to happen around 160k+ with the lovely timing chain guides etc.) but just general to medium servicing. Ever tried changing even just a lower coolant hose on your car? On a VR6 you have to drop the engine mounts out just to change some of the most basic things, which the 1.8T/2.0L/T guys take for granted, hence my point.

They're all unnecessarily difficult and expensive to service because of the design, which isn't all to bright when you compare it to the FI motors. Its a massive compromise to have a few more horses stock for stock to have such a lower amount of reliability in the long run due to the heat in the engine bay and the difficulty in servicing due to the size/positioning of the motor in the bay.

And they're not all that fast either, my VR6 is only marginally slower than one as I found out not long ago. I'm honestly not trying to bag the car out, I just think that all the 6's are flawed, and the R32 just happens to be the most so

I'm just lucky my mate is a mechanic, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep the car tbh.

Never had a timing chain go...180k on clock or any other probs

If those km's were all city cycle, your chains would be incredibly noisy by now.
