For Sale: MK4 R32 with 16k miles

January 28, 2010 by Aaron

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.

    I’ve always really liked the R32. Neat little car and the VR6 is capable of some monster horsepower with the addition of some turbochargers.

    Beautiful R32 but I think that calling a car with 16K miles “literally brand new” is a bit of a stretch… hell, I bought my ‘07 GTI MKV in 2008 with 11K miles and I would never have considered it “literally brand new” – “practically like new”, maybe, but not “new”.

    As you said, it will take a special buyer indeed to pay $25K for a six-year old car when MSRP on a BRAND NEW GTI MKVI is under $24K. Not an R32 admittedly, but…
