A1 VR6 0 Posted March 20, 2007 VW are launching a Mk5 Golf RSi later this year with 4wd and 3.6 V6 limited to 500 in the UK. Could be interesting as long as it doesn't have a £50k price tag like the Beetle RSi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Well they certainly can't sell R32's at the moment - was at a site today where they bid 19.5k for a 2,500 mile metallic blue 3 door on a 56 plate - thats 3.5k behind book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted March 20, 2007 VW have made dealers stock the R32, So you can get some hefty discounts now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 20, 2007 If you know where to look you can get them at cost price, even a 3 door manual with leather and DSG - surely the most desirable variant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted March 20, 2007 So what would be the Retail on one of those, and what would be the cost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 20, 2007 The car I was offered was a 3 door, DSG, metallic, Recaro leather, winter pack, upgraded stereo, OTR £29,180, price to me £25,678, 12% discount Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Damn!!! Dont let me tell my mate that had his GTi delivered 2 weeks ago for a similar price! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 21, 2007 That wasn't a special deal for me either, generally available, discounts are starting to beome more common on the GTi now as well. RSi will run the 3.6 engine, all I've managed to find out is that the price will be below 30k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Bloody hell thats Cheap! Looks like a Pissrat though from the front! IMO the MK4 R32 is the best looking Factory Modded Golf VW have made! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted March 21, 2007 The MK4 is definitely better looking but the MKV drives much better though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted March 21, 2007 I think they had alot longer to look at the mk5 R32, i remember reading something about it, saying the mk4 was rushed and too much was sourced outside the company, whereas the mk5 was done in house. It shows though, didnt it kick the mk4's ass around the top gear track? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eatthis 0 Posted March 29, 2007 VW have made dealers stock the R32, So you can get some hefty discounts now! wonder if theyd swap a 320 bhp charged mk3 for an r32 lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted March 29, 2007 The MkV R32 looks like a bread van, and I suspect the RSi will... look just as bad! Give me a MkIV R32 anytime. Also - the MkV RSi (and R32) will be subject to £400 road tax next year. I think that alone will kill the sales stone dead. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted March 30, 2007 You ain't joking... good quality aircooled Beetles are worth more than average standard Corrados these days :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
