I'd be worried about rust. Can you get an '08 TT 3.2 for about that same price yet? Ours was worth like $18k with 80k miles 3 years ago and is a better car than the mk4.
Resale doe...
True. Looks like the :manuel: TT 3.2 is also holding value :doe:

~40k miles, $18-19k

vs ~120k miles, still $15k

Put a ski rack or two on the back hatch and pretend you're James Bond.

One of 3 in the US with less than 75k miles being sold. $4k less than the cheaper of the other two!

This thing looks pretty mint for its age, but good point.

Great description... man R32s are dead stable in terms of value.... when I last looked (3 years ago) they were 10-18k depending on miles/condition...
There were only 5k of these. Less and less out there everyday. Mk7 on the other hand must be north of 8k sold by now.

I tend to avoid ski racks because the skis just get mucked up with nasty road grime and the rack itself kills mpgs. I spend enough time cleaning out the ski bases and waxing them without that mess. But... Bond is one of my heroes so I can't knock his setup :lol:
