Britt,
     Oh, sure.  The old, "My car is worth more because it's my car and it's 
been well maintained, rather special, and, of course, because I KNOW it's 
special.  And, do I have to mention, because it's MINE it's certainly worth at 
least that much money!  Finally, (just to add insult to injury), I don't NEED 
to sell it.  If someone is determined to have it at my price, though, I suppose 
I'll reluctantly sell it-if I like them and think my baby's going to a good 
home."
     I do like the style of the car, and a (former) lister actually came over 
to our old house in Sand Springs with his blue one back in '04 or '05 (Dave 
Craig, do you remember his name-he has a nice E30 ///M3?) and that sure looked 
nice.  Just wanted to share.

All the best,
Tom Reynolds

  Hopefully racer Todd isn't that dumb! £25k for a 6 year old car that is 
slower than the new GTI? This guy has been sniffing to much gas....The R32 was 
to heavy and nothing special. People have strange ideas over what a mass 
produced car is worth.

          For Sale: MK4 R32 with 16k miles 

          Posted: 28 Jan 2010 08:00 AM PST

          Found this ultra low mile 2004 R32 on the Vortex for sale.  
Finding low mileage and unmolested MK4 R32’s has become quite challenging.  
These cars are so much fun to drive and do so many things well that it can be 
difficult to keep them off the road.  As the price point lessened many 
R32’s ended up in the hands of less than discerning owners who fitted all 
kinds of aftermarket garb to cheapen what in stock form is an excellent 
vehicle.  I prefer the look of the MK4 R32 and the availability of a 
manual transmission to the newer version.  This car with 16k miles and stock 
appearance  looks like the choice for those in the market for the perfect 
used R32.

          Low Mile MK4 R32 for Sale

            “I have every receipt for this car since I bought it from 
Jonathan here on the forums in August of 2006 with 9,900 miles.

            I cannot provide detailed pictures as the car is in storage about 
15 miles away from me for the winter, but I wanted to put this thread up to 
garner interest. If an interested buyer wants the car before March, I’ll pull 
the car from storage.

            Since taking ownership, I’ve put just under 7,000 miles on the 
car. Do the math…that’s 2,000 miles a year on average.

            -Stored every year from November 1 – March 15
            -Full clear bra on the front end since day one
            -No accidents or paint work
            -Still has delivery plastic on dead pedal (no, I’m not kidding)
            -Paint still looks brand new
            -Interior still smells brand new
            + I had a small wear mark on outer bolster of driver seat 
reconditioned
            before putting it away in November. Interior looks brand new.

            Details:
            2004 Tornado Red R32 with Optional Leather
            - 16,700 original miles 
            - 6-speed
            - 241hp 3.2L VR6
            - Haldex AWD, etc

            Mods:
            - Fully loaded APR Tuned ECU
            - K&N Panel Filter
            - Not even flapper modded
            (Flapper mod has been done by me with an IV clamp so it’s 100% 
reversible)
            - R32 monster mats front, GTI monster mats rear (full set now)
            (I no longer have the R32 carpeted mats*)

            This car is literally no joke. Only things I need for it to go back 
to 100% complete and stock are Tornado Red mirror caps and mint Aristos/rubber, 
but these will be done before the sale.

            I’m not kidding when I say this car needs ABSOLUTELY nothing. 
Brakes still are literally brand , exterior and interior are still in brand new 
condition.

            I’M IN NO POSITION WHERE I HAVE TO SELL THIS CAR. I will accept 
my asking price and asking price only for me to part with it. Yes, this will 
take a very particular buyer who wants a literally brand new 2004 R32 in 
2010.�

                
          $25k is quite a sum for a used MK5 R32, for a MK4 it is unheard of. 
 No doubt the car is beautiful with low mileage that would be difficult to 
match.  The seller senses this and states that he is looking for a special 
buyer that is specifically looking for this car in this condition.  A 
daunting challenge but if the seller is patient I am sure he will find someone 
who would be willing to pay a premium for this R32.
