mojo55 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I am lhopefully selling the type r this week and have seen an mk5 r32 with around 40000 miles on, it is a 55reg registered 12/05 2 owners.. Couple of q's How much for second service and do you see any probs with it doing this mileage, i do around 8-10k miles a year so will average out over the next couple of years.. I owned a mk5 gti before the type r and was undecided wether to go for another gti or try a r32, so if i don't try now prob never will.. What is this about the tax going upto £400 nex year, this one needs taxing in december so how much will it cost... Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 The second service (if you're talking about the 40k one, as in a major service) is somewhere in the region of £450 including the Haldex service and brake fluid change etc, although prices do vary hugely from dealer to dealer so I'd ring a couple to find that out more accurately. I'm not sure that doing 8-10k miles per year will really bring down the average on a car that's done 40k in 2 years to be honest, as 8-10k p.a. isn't much below the annual average, is it? As for the tax, as far as I'm aware, the highest banding (i.e. the one that's going to cost £400 next year) only applies to vehicles first registered after April '06, so the car you're talking about shouldn't be affected by that.

mojo55 Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 ok thanks yeh you are right it prob won't average out... thanks for the rest of the advice, the service is expensive aint it, it will also need taxing pretty much straight away..so quite a bit of cash to be spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only top band cars registered after 22/03/06 will pay £400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
