We have always wanted a Volkswagen R32! Lucky for us this cheap $3,000 MKV R32 popped up on Facebook at just the right time! Also lucky for us, ‪@JamiesGarage1‬ Happened to be near where the seller was located! We bought this car and took it to Jamie's shop to get it inspected, then attempted to drive it 600 miles home!

What are you going to do with the bumper on the car? After you put the r32 one back on are you selling it? Could use a good tornado red bumper for my mk5

@Emoralis 11 месяцев назад

Yep proper maintenance is lost among the general population. Last year I bought a mk5 with 130k miles. Original spark plugs. Talking like over a quarter inch gap. Still playing catch up with early oil changes but somehow it doesn’t burn oil. Probably only had like 3 oil changes before I got it. The guy who bought in at auction said he dropped like $1000 in parts to get it road worthy.

@michaelgaskins9573 10 месяцев назад

@moparferg440 11 месяцев назад

Holy cow and here I thought my MK5 was bad. I'm currently at 210000 miles and though it's got a coolant leak, the transmission works well enough to drive on a daily but PRNDS does flash then goes away. Somehow no check engine light though. Obviously, it's had its fair share of mechanical issues but these cars are just something special. This car needs some love and affection and it can be a great addition. Can't wait to see more!

Man I'd love to have a clean MK5. I had an 02 VR6 and loved that car. Was the 3rd owner and spent so much money fixing things I found and returning things back to stock. A clean MK5 that's STOCK (I'll take a nice, non-raspy aftermarket exhaust too) would be great for a nice weekend mountain cruiser. This poor .:R32. Owner did not deserve it. Trans sounds like it's been driven without fluid (Don't ask me how I know. I was 16. Mistakes were made). So many .:Rs that found the wrong owners 😭

I have a Golf MK4 since it came out and about two weeks ago it started doing the same transmission noises when you decelerated on 2nd gear. Then, it started making a loud buzzing sound as if it had a supercharger on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear respectively. Eventually, she shat all her interiors inside herself, and I had it swapped for another manual transmission and a new clutch. 21 more years//265k miles of beating this *bulletproof snail* to its absolute death.

@l00tur 11 месяцев назад

I’ve been on the look out for a blown up trans R32 MKV for years. The DSG is just not a trans that should’ve came with a limited model like this. A six speed swapped MKV R32 is probably the best hot hatch during that generation, and I would argue is a better car than the Golf R.

The messed up weather stripping and paint scraping on the drivers side door is classic evidence of an amateur attempt to unlock the car using a coat hanger or other wire. I spent 15 years as an automotive locksmith and that is exactly what happens when keys are locked in a car or the car isn’t openable from the outside and an amateur tries to gain access. Someone thinks that the time spent and damage they do to the car is cheaper than paying a good locksmith $75-100 to open the car properly.
