s4dreamer Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Just found out today that VW are going to produce a 5-door R32, so it makes the car appealing for the wife for running the kids around. Woohoo! Spoke to a dealer and they said they have one car unallocated out of next year's 4 car allocation, so once I've negotiated down the deposit they want from £1k to £500, I'm going to get my order in. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 There is a road test on this car in Autocar this week. They rave about it! Best Golf for years apparently, streets ahead of the V6 4motion etc etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danksy Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 mmm this sounds too goof to miss! I tried changing my Pd order to a R32, and they said there were no more in the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted December 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 That might have been 2002's allocation you missed Danksy. I've contacted both dealers local to me - one has one car of 2003's allocation of 4 left and the other dealer said "some". Why not trade up - it'll be at least 6 months wait, and you'll have a 5-door "family" car that shifts like * off a * Gonna have to buy an S4 to keep ahead of my wife now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagoo Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 I was going to put my name down but decided not to in the end!! Telford VW have one coming Feb/march which is yet to be allocated to someone! Its in the silver i cant remeber the rest of the spec!! So if you want to be one of the first then you better get a wriggle on!!! Oh and i think VW were asking just for a £500 deposit, and city VW were asked for a £2k deposit!!! Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted December 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Just put a £500 deposit down on a new R32 with my dealer (Gilders in Sheffield). They say I'm #2 on their allocation list for 2003, which would imply that they're not selling well, although Christmas is probably not the best time of year to be marketing a new car like that. Don't have a clue where I'm going to find the cash to pay for it. Will have to put the children out on the streets, or maybe the wife. Otherwise, anyone know of any banks that don't have much in the way of security ? I'm excited now, but the missus (who the car is for) says she'd be happy with a new exercise bike and keep her old Golf 4mo (go figure)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Dude, the main reason I'm in an A3 and NOT an S3 is the 4-door option. That was my wifes one and only inflexible point. It would have cost me an extra DM 3000 to get the S3 over my A3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
