Been on this forum for a while now, so thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Chris, 22 from colchester in Essex. Have wanted an r32 since when I was old enough to drive and after saving for what seems a life time, and a lot of searching I'm finally going to view a mk4 tomorrow night! Far too excited at the moment.
Anyway, brilliant forum have learnt a lot from it!
hiya,,hello wallsy,,,,warm welcome mate and another soon to be r32 owner from essex,,seems to be quite a few of us about,,,hope you get your new baby ,,,regards jason p
Was meant to go view the r32 tonight, so decided to do a HPI check as I usually do before buying a new car. Found out it was a cat D write off in 2004. The seller did not mention this at all. His owned the car for 18 months and says he didn't realise it was a write off, but I find that hard to believe!
Think the car is still on pistonheads so could include a link for people to watch out?
Gutted, but thank god for HPI!
EDIT - seen the car is back in pistonheads, but seller has listed as cat D so maybe he was genuine in the end!
Always worth doing ain't it! Cheers for the warm welcome mate
ideally I'm after mk4 dpb, 3 door, half leather and full service history would be good! Up too 6500 grand mark is what I'm looking around. Seen some lovely ones about but just out of my price range unfortunately!
Haha a mate of mine bought that exact spec yesterday lol. There are a few about.
beware the low mileage one. The ad is appalling, clearly written by someone more used to selling X reg Micra's These are on autotrader amongst some others
Haha! Don't suppose he wants to sell it does he? Lol
Appreciate you posting them mate, the higher mileage one looks decent! Ideally I think I'd like a standard one mind you, want to put my own touch on it! Haha I know what you mean I thought the same!

I emailed the bloke on the cheap one and I can confirm he tried to scam me as I'm trying to buy one myself....bellends!!! I also got beaten to the cut on that left hand one

Ah we'll I'm still hunting too />
He said he worked in the army and that he's alway away and that he would have the car delivered to me and I could test it view it as if I didn't like it he would refund money.....do one!
I couldn't get a reg out of him so I could HPI it and he ignored questions about me viewing it.
My final email to him said only until I have seen and driven the car will we talk money......funny he didn't email back! :-/
That other one sold in a day!!! Couldn't believe it....well I could...it was hot!
Time to fire up the anniversary and head up north
Wise move mate, that don't sound to legit! Clearly got something to hide if he don't want you to HPI it!
Hope the viewing goes well mate you must be like a little kid haha! Get some pics up if all goes well
